They're cheaper at BRU and Target. I actually have 9 of them, and we use them for everything! They are the perfect size and weight for swaddling, car seat cover, burp rag in a pinch, and I use them at my mom/baby yoga class to put over the blanket provided for DD to lie on.

The boutique version is great. They are excellent quality and they don't have to be swaddles. Lots of people get years of use out of them as stroller blankets, crib blankets for toddlers and even a park blanket etc. I think they are worth it.

I got mine on sale for 35$ for a pack of 4 on Amazon. I don't think they're worth 55+. They're nice blankets, but I didn't find them that great for swaddling. They are nice and big so you can cover the car seat, use them on the ground, etc and my son sleeps with one in his crib, but I see lots of knock off muslin blankets that look just as good to me.

They are fabulous, especially for my summer baby who was born last year when it was over 100 degrees most days for a while. It covered him without overheating him. Hunt around the Internet, you can find some good deals.
This is probably the most used baby item I have. We only used them for swaddling for a couple weeks, before he grew into the swaddleme. Now we use them for everything, burp cloth, blanket, car seat cover etc. They are high quality and so far have not torn or stained. I also give them as gifts at baby showers now.

I love them! I got the four pack for $35 from Amazon as well. We ended up with six of them and I'm wishing we had more. We use them for just about everything and go through one or two a day.

Ya they are awesome!! I got a great deal at the Nordstroms half yearly on the bamboo ines. They are so soft and cuddly. Just keep an eye out for sales. If you can afford it I would go for the Boutique ones, but if not the Target ones will due.
The boutique by my house has them for $13 for one, which I think is a great price. They also have 2 on display:the boutique version and the target version. The target one has less layers and is 2" (or around there) smaller on all sides. I definitely suggest a boutique one. DS didn't like to be swaddled but it's still a great blanket. I love how huge it is
The A&A boutique swaddle blankets are 3" larger than the ones sold in other stores. 47x47 vs 44x44, that being said the 44x44 is more than big enough to swaddle an infant. I had 8 (2- 4 packs) for my son and already picked up 2 -4 packs for my soon to be daughter. My son loves his and now uses them as a blankey. The really great thing is air flow if one accidentally ends up over a face, they can still breathe. My houdini could get out of them when swaddled so we ended up using Miracle Blankets then Halo sacks with no loose blankets until he was about 18 months.
If you shop at Kohls and have their card check Kohls online, they sell the 4 packs for 34.95 as well as some other stuff. I bought mine with a 30% kohls code and saved $10.49 off each pack.
I have the boutique and the amazon. I don't like thee boutique as much! They don't stay swaddled as well in them. JMO!
