aden and anais sleep sacks for target

CanuckFan03

Does anyone have one of these?  We've bought a regular aden and anais sleep sack in anticipation of stopping the swaddle this weekend, but I'm thinking we'll need a few more (LO spits up sometimes).

Has anyone tried the target ones?  I have friends that go to the states regularly, I could sweet talk them into picking up some for me.  

Target's website it down, so I can't even look at them online right now

I have them and love them. Highly recommend.

We have one - I like it.  It's really big though - really long.  It's not very warm - just a light blanket, almost like a sheet. I like it for summer, but it definitely won't be warm enough for winter in Minnesota

The regular ones have two thicknesses - 2 layers or 4.  I bought a four layer one thinking we would start with LO in a onesie, then move to footie jammies, and that would get us through fall at least.

Do the target ones have different thicknesses?

No, not in my experience.

I don't know how many layers it has.  I've used it on chilly nights here (like, upper 40s, lower 50s) with a non-footed cotton sleeper, and she seems warm enough.  I have some Halo fleece sleep sacks, and those are what I'll use for the winter.  I think the a+a ones just seems thin compared to the fleece.  I would say the sleep sack is the same thickness as the blankets from Target.

The A+A sleepsacks I've seen in the stores are really thin - essentially the same material as the swaddle blankets. I decided not to get them in favor of heavier fleece and terry-cloth footies for winter.

I've got your answers: 

 

The target line is discounted and not as soft as the real ones. The sleeping bags are a very light thickness, and I wouldn't recommend them for cold climates.  

HOWEVER: on the Aden and Anais website, they have COZY sleeping bags that are made of 4 layer thickness they claim is suitable for winter while allowing circulation and breathing.  I ordered one off ebay (cheaper!) and it's coming this week.

Target also only carries S and M, whereas my baby is huge and needs a L or XL!

I have the A&A 4 layer one from A&A....I put her in a footed jammies and sleep sack... 

the target ones are 2 layers and very thin.   Not my fav at all.

Thanks ladies!  It sounds like the target ones won't be good for winter.  I'll probably buy another cozy one, or try another brand.    Thanks!
