THIS! I wish I would have known these existed all summer long since we don't have air. We would have gotten much more sleep since it was too hot to swaddle him in a normal blanket! I imagine they'll be great for cooler weather too since you can dress LO in a warm outfit if he busts out of the swaddle but not worry about overheating.

I adore the Aden and Anais blankets (DD sleeps with one every night now that she's over a year), but not for swaddling.
I prefer the specific swaddling blankets -- the Miracle Blanket was a lifesaver for us. It's like a baby straight jacket, but DD loved it. The great thing about the Miracle Blanket is that their feet are just covered with a little pocket of fabric, so you can leave them swaddled, but take their legs out to strap them into the swing or bouncy seat.
For about a month that's the ONLY way DD would sleep without being held -- swaddled in the bouncy seat. (We did not bedshare.)

Heard great things about Aden and Anais too.
We used Kiddopotamus Swaddle Mes. They have velcro and we felt they were pretty easy.
