The blue stars one has been great and seems to get softer when I wash it (not thinner), like the blankets. So maddening! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/aampa-sleeping-bags-would-you-recommend#post-274500 Wed, 29 Aug 2012 11:04:21 +0000 BananaPancakes 274500@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ohapostrophe: I was thinking some prints might be worse than others. I have the monkey and goldfish sacks. I do believe that there are heavier ones that are for winter that I would think would be a safer bet. It seems like the ones for summer were just sooo thin. Way thinner than the swaddle blankets. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/aampa-sleeping-bags-would-you-recommend#post-274463 Wed, 29 Aug 2012 10:50:31 +0000 ohapostrophe 274463@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bree72: shoot, really? I was hoping that was it because they are so different in quality :( I need another one so maybe I'll just order the same print as the good one and hope for the best. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/aampa-sleeping-bags-would-you-recommend#post-274280 Wed, 29 Aug 2012 08:01:54 +0000 Andrea 274280@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Good to know! I was planning on trying these for baby #2 but maybe I will stick to the Halo ones. I was a bit concerned that they seem so thin, but thought they might be good for the summer. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/aampa-sleeping-bags-would-you-recommend#post-274268 Wed, 29 Aug 2012 07:48:50 +0000 looch 274268@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do the ones for target say so on the label? I think the blankets do, right? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/aampa-sleeping-bags-would-you-recommend#post-274265 Wed, 29 Aug 2012 07:46:58 +0000 BananaPancakes 274265@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ohapostrophe: I ordered our directly from the A&amp;A website, so I don't know if that's the issue. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/aampa-sleeping-bags-would-you-recommend#post-274259 Wed, 29 Aug 2012 07:38:58 +0000 ohapostrophe 274259@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have two- one is amazing quality and looks perfect- its probably been washed 50 times. The other ripped the very first time I washed it (I still use it, the rip is on the shoulder and doesn't make it unwearable). I think there is a huge difference in quality between the actual A+A fabric and the A+A by target (or other cheaper retailers) fabric. They don't feel the same at all. But I think amazon sells them all mixed in together at the same price. So I'd recommend looking into which prints are which and only buying the ones NOT sold a target. Overall I really love the bags and we've used them every night all summer. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/aampa-sleeping-bags-would-you-recommend#post-274202 Wed, 29 Aug 2012 02:11:15 +0000 Sweet T 274202@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a single layer one. We've had ours for 5.5 months and it already has tears at the shoulders. I like that it's lightweight, but I'm so disappointed in the quality...especially after loving the A+A swaddle blankets. I wouldn't buy another one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/aampa-sleeping-bags-would-you-recommend#post-274201 Wed, 29 Aug 2012 02:06:18 +0000 looch 274201@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have three but only one ripped, at the shoulders from my son standing in his crib. I prefer the early walker sacks with feet holes from Halo. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/aampa-sleeping-bags-would-you-recommend#post-273379 Tue, 28 Aug 2012 12:16:18 +0000 BananaPancakes 273379@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have two. Both ripped within a couple of uses. I would not recommend. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/aampa-sleeping-bags-would-you-recommend#post-273333 Tue, 28 Aug 2012 11:44:58 +0000 plaidpants 273333@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a few of the one layer A+A bags and I like them a lot. I use them almost every night since it's so warm. I treat them like sheets and blankets, so I usually wash them once or twice a week (is that gross?) and I line-dry them. I haven't had any issues with ripping or broken zippers, but from reading the Amazon reviews, I think I'm in the minority. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/aampa-sleeping-bags-would-you-recommend#post-273317 Tue, 28 Aug 2012 11:38:14 +0000 T.H.O.U. 273317@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a 1 layer one that I like but we don't use it often because its VERY light. I can see how if you used it a lot and washed it a lot it would rip because its so thin. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/aampa-sleeping-bags-would-you-recommend#post-273310 Tue, 28 Aug 2012 11:36:18 +0000 autumnlove 273310@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have them and they rip fast! But LO seems to love them and cries if we put her in a thicker sleep sack! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/aampa-sleeping-bags-would-you-recommend#post-273302 Tue, 28 Aug 2012 11:34:40 +0000 dookie32 273302@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've been reading the reviews on Amazon and they are surprisingly pretty bad. A lot of people said they fall apart/rip after a few washes or they've had issues with the zippers falling off. I'm thinking of getting one only because my son self-soothes with his A&amp;A blankets during naps and I can't put one in the crib with him at night. I figure he would be able to suck on the sleep sack instead. He's pretty strong and kicks a lot in his crib so I'm afraid he would destroy any sleep sack that's not well made. Anyone have any good experiences with them? </p>
