DS didn't like the summer infant! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/halo-or-swaddleme#post-2202579 Tue, 09 Jun 2015 02:55:32 +0000 dc yoga bee 2202579@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LaughLines: I've been undoing the whole thing for diaper changes. Now that you mention it, the zipper is on the bottom so you really don't have to undo the whole thing! Another bonus point for Halo lol! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/halo-or-swaddleme#post-2202557 Tue, 09 Jun 2015 00:11:04 +0000 PawPrints 2202557@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We reach for the Summer Infant Swaddle Me swaddles a lot more often than we reach for the Halo, honestly. But she is close to outgrowing the Swaddle Me in length (she's 80th percentile for length) and I expect we'll transition to the Halo at that point, also once we want her arms free we'll use the Halo more. For now we want to keep her arms snug. She is 9 weeks. Oh we also have two Miracle Blankets, those are also going to remain useful once she's too long for the Swaddle Me ones. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/halo-or-swaddleme#post-2202454 Mon, 08 Jun 2015 20:43:43 +0000 Dandelion 2202454@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used the A&amp;A brand of swaddlers in the early weeks and really loved them. I liked how tight they could get. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/halo-or-swaddleme#post-2202419 Mon, 08 Jun 2015 19:47:03 +0000 littleblessings 2202419@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used Summer brand of Swadle me with my daughter then just plain Halo sleep sack. she hated the Halo but it also didn't have the Swadle feature to it. Had to Swadle her every night. My son had a Halo sleep sack with the Swadle and a plain Swadle. He and I bot referred the Halo. I prolly would have liked it with my daughter too had they been out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/halo-or-swaddleme#post-2202410 Mon, 08 Jun 2015 19:41:54 +0000 LaughLines 2202410@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Another vote for halo. One big perk is the zipper part zips from the bottom so you can unzip it without undoing the Velcro and letting their arms out if you need to do a diaper change in the MOTN </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/halo-or-swaddleme#post-2202325 Mon, 08 Jun 2015 16:59:29 +0000 ineebee 2202325@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I use both, but I like the Halo better! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/halo-or-swaddleme#post-2202324 Mon, 08 Jun 2015 16:57:50 +0000 namaste 2202324@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Coral: DD was also very tall for our SwaddleMe. </p> <p>She hated swaddling anyway. Good luck with your Halo! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/halo-or-swaddleme#post-2202281 Mon, 08 Jun 2015 16:10:24 +0000 Meridian 2202281@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Halo! The swaddleme's weren't break-out resistant enough for my guy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/halo-or-swaddleme#post-2202269 Mon, 08 Jun 2015 15:51:27 +0000 Mrs. Coral 2202269@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Halo! I didn't get along with the SwaddleMe ones and DD was too friggen tall to really fit well in them anyway. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/halo-or-swaddleme#post-2202258 Mon, 08 Jun 2015 15:30:05 +0000 dc yoga bee 2202258@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I :heart: our Halo! It's the only one lo will sleep in. I love the two in one, that allow us to swaddle her body, but leave her arms out, since she likes to sleep with her arms up over her head in the touchdown/goal post position! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/halo-or-swaddleme#post-2202253 Mon, 08 Jun 2015 15:16:39 +0000 SweetiePie 2202253@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had both and would recommend a halo just because it "lasts" longer - beyond the swaddle. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/halo-or-swaddleme#post-2202252 Mon, 08 Jun 2015 15:15:42 +0000 dolphin 2202252@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks ladies! Sounds like I need to give Halo a try! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/halo-or-swaddleme#post-2202191 Mon, 08 Jun 2015 14:24:56 +0000 travelgirl1 2202191@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We loved the Halo! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/halo-or-swaddleme#post-2202174 Mon, 08 Jun 2015 14:07:40 +0000 rattles 2202174@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We preferred the Halo with DD1 and bought more when DD2 came along. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/halo-or-swaddleme#post-2202154 Mon, 08 Jun 2015 13:48:16 +0000 Coffee-lover 2202154@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@dolphin: We were using swaddle me until someone gave us a halo. The halo is so much easier. We love it so much we went out and bought more halos and abandoned the swaddle me.</p> <p>The halo is just a sack that zips up and has an removable swaddle part fot the arms. I feel like my baby ismore secure and comfortable in the halo. And if I want to stop swaddling, I can remove that part and just use it as a sleep sack.</p> <p>I didnt like the bottom part of the swaddle me that velcro shut. I felt like no matter how careful I was with the velcro my baby was always somehow able to rub her arms on the rough part of the velcro. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/halo-or-swaddleme#post-2202127 Mon, 08 Jun 2015 13:30:21 +0000 2littlepumpkins 2202127@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>On the other side of this. We used the halo and liked it but it had to be on very very tight, tighter than it's supposed to go. They were so easy though. Thinking about getting the other one for lo2. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/halo-or-swaddleme#post-2202113 Mon, 08 Jun 2015 13:17:35 +0000 dolphin 2202113@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We used the Summer Infant SwaddleMe for DD and we liked it because it was so easy to use and it stayed on. We will be reusing it for baby 2 but I want to order an extra swaddle and heard good things about the Halo. Have you used both? Do you recommend one over the other? </p>
