That is the only real way to test it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/car-seat-amp-coat#post-1179405 Mon, 28 Oct 2013 13:47:00 +0000 MrsF 1179405@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We've been using a very similar fleece coat in the car. I think it's fine. </p> <p>I'm glad to see others say the same thing though - I had been meaning to ask the group! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/car-seat-amp-coat#post-1179393 Mon, 28 Oct 2013 13:43:03 +0000 Springtime 1179393@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think that's totally fine. We have a similar coat and he wears it while in his carseat. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/car-seat-amp-coat#post-1179386 Mon, 28 Oct 2013 13:42:00 +0000 tinyperson 1179386@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The best way to tell is to strap them in wearing the coat, then take them out without loosening the straps, and put them back in. If you don't have to tighten, then it's ok. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/car-seat-amp-coat#post-1179368 Mon, 28 Oct 2013 13:39:29 +0000 kiddosc 1179368@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Fleece is perfectly fine since it's already compressed. The puffy coats that compress when you squeeze them are the problem. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/car-seat-amp-coat#post-1179322 Mon, 28 Oct 2013 13:29:19 +0000 Mamaof2 1179322@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes it looks perfect to me - assuming its a fleece </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/car-seat-amp-coat#post-1178716 Mon, 28 Oct 2013 10:58:16 +0000 cheert16 1178716@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@2PeasinaPod: I love that coat- so I am trying to justify buying it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/car-seat-amp-coat#post-1178705 Mon, 28 Oct 2013 10:56:25 +0000 mrsjyw 1178705@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i think that'd be okay! we have a similar patagonia fleece that is our "car coat" and seems to not be too bunchy like his puffy coat. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/car-seat-amp-coat#post-1178702 Mon, 28 Oct 2013 10:56:10 +0000 2PeasinaPod 1178702@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm not sure, but can I just say how adorable that little jacket is?? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/car-seat-amp-coat#post-1178692 Mon, 28 Oct 2013 10:54:30 +0000 cheert16 1178692@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I know you can't put a big puffy jacket on a LO in their carseat- but is this acceptable? Or too much? Not sure what to put him in to keep him warm when it starts snowing and stuff! </p> [attach=2545/13/mvdyuu.400x600.image.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/allergies-3#post-865543 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 13:24:10 +0000 lolabee 865543@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Does anyone have experience with an allergy to fleece? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fleece-swaddle-bag#post-514502 Fri, 18 Jan 2013 22:15:20 +0000 shopaholic 514502@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: Right?!?!

I do have a couple of Fleece Halo Sleep Sacks and this one is a LOT thicker, so probably too warm. Thanks ladies! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fleece-swaddle-bag#post-512455 Fri, 18 Jan 2013 07:40:29 +0000 Mrs. Yoyo 512455@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Careful with fleece! My LO overheats in it. He has a fleece sleep sack that we only use at my parents, where his room actually dip below 60 at night. But in a house that's a normal temp he would be a sweaty mess. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fleece-swaddle-bag#post-512370 Fri, 18 Jan 2013 04:22:27 +0000 sunny 512370@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a fleece Halo sleep sack that we use right now but our house gets pretty cold. </p> <p>I found that I don't need more than 1 sleep sack in LOs current size. It would be nice to have a backup but I never bothered to get one and havent needed one yet... Knock on wood! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fleece-swaddle-bag#post-512345 Fri, 18 Jan 2013 03:12:23 +0000 LaineysMom 512345@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was using ours (with her arms out) because she only had one sleep sack that was warm enough.. Now that she has the Baby Dee Dee we're going to retire the swaddle bag. In So Cal I think it's unnecessary.. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fleece-swaddle-bag#post-512338 Fri, 18 Jan 2013 02:29:38 +0000 birdofafeather 512338@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we have one fleece halo newborn swaddle and i like it because it unzips down the front for easy diaper access. i think the fleece will be not as useful come march and our house is pretty poorly insulated, so i understand the desire for warm items! i would return if you can! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fleece-swaddle-bag#post-512204 Thu, 17 Jan 2013 23:18:00 +0000 erwoo 512204@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I loved our fleece swaddleme swaddles. I have to say that my LO probably used it until about 3 months b/c he kept breaking out which then I started using the Miracle blanket. And when he was outgrowing the length of the miracle blanket I put a Halo sleep sack under and then used the top of the Miracle Blanket to keep his arms from escaping. Around about 4/5 months I had to drop the swaddle completely. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fleece-swaddle-bag#post-512201 Thu, 17 Jan 2013 23:17:42 +0000 HabesBabe 512201@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We've been using ours, but I don't know how cold it will be come March! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fleece-swaddle-bag#post-512195 Thu, 17 Jan 2013 23:16:31 +0000 shopaholic 512195@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrskc: yeah - global warming! I might try and return it if we get a ton of blankets and stuff this weekend. Cute, but actually takes quite a bit of space in the drawer. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fleece-swaddle-bag#post-512183 Thu, 17 Jan 2013 23:13:27 +0000 mrskc 512183@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>March it should be warmer right? SoCal doesn't get that cold. That's so weird that its so cold there right now. I live in the Central Valley and we're having above avg temps. High of 66 today. </p> <p>Anywho, I think I would return it if u have other swaddle blankets. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fleece-swaddle-bag#post-512146 Thu, 17 Jan 2013 23:00:51 +0000 shopaholic 512146@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: March 9th! It's been so cold here in SoCal (as you know) but then the weather seems to be turning around too. SoCal gets so unpredictable at night... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fleece-swaddle-bag#post-512139 Thu, 17 Jan 2013 22:59:07 +0000 T-Mom 512139@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had a fleece swaddleme that was great for the winter! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fleece-swaddle-bag#post-512131 Thu, 17 Jan 2013 22:57:07 +0000 autumnlove 512131@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Cute!

Useless and I should return? Or nice and cozy for a newborn? </p> <p>example pic: </p> [attach=2730/13/mgsyjd.360x525.B-fleece-swaddle-bag.jpg]
