LO is almost at the point of outgrowing his bassinet (sob!), so we need to get a stroller muff to use with his toddler seat. Which one do you have, and which would you recommend? I am leaning toward the 7Am Enfant one, but it is expensive and gets not so good reviews on amazon: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002CZP8US/ref=s9_simh_gw_p75_d0_i2?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=center-3&pf_rd_r=17D6AJ6CZ1YC234QFS46&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=470938811&pf_rd_i=507846
We have the UB vista if that matters.

I think Mrs Bee has the 7am Enfant one. I know a few people who have it, but havent heard reviews on it. UB makes a footmuff that goes with the Vista. We have that and the JJ Cole BundleMe. Like them both. The UBV one is called a BabyGanoosh. Found here

@LivsMama: Do you find that it's warm enough? The only thing I hesitate about that one and the JJ cole ones is that they don't look like they gather around LO's face...do you find that you still need to put a heavy jacket on LO and that there's a draft going in through the top? And do you have the urban bundle me or the arctic? And how do you decide when to use the ganoosh or the bundle me? And sorry for the MILLION questions, lol!

When we use the bundle me, C is also in her snow suit (when she was in car seat in stroller) and we had a warm hat on her too, and hood up on the snow suit. We put a fuzzy blanket around her body, then bundle me done up as high as it can go. She was plenty cozy in there, I also always put weather shield (plastic) over top the stroller.
Now that she's not using the "regular" seat, I just have her in snow suit and bundle blankets around her One on top and around her legs/feet, one on each side of her to keep drafts out!), weather shield on top.

@Beebug: what does your snowsuit look like? We have a fleece-y bunting but probly isn't heavy enough. ,

@hilsy85: Hmm, we got it as a gift, we have a couple but use one mainly, they're all pretty heavy, knowing we'd be at hockey/the rink lots, and outside every day, they're all also too big, which at first I sort of worried about, but it's been nice for her to grow into them, rather than grow out of them too quickly, and we can layer her up more underneath if it's colder. They all have built in feet, and fold over hands, hoods, and are pretty thick/cozy.

We have the Kaiser Little Sheepy and LOVE it! But it's getting small for her to cocoon in (though we can still use it as just a foot muff).
We're going to get this one next but just reuse the sheep skin insert from the one we already have.

We use the JJ Cole bundle me with a snowsuit in our UBV. We wrap her up in a fleecy blanket with the bundle me hat and mittens as well. I actually worry about her being to warm, but she doesn't complain so I figure she's ok. We use the weather shield on particularly cold days.

@Crumbs: ooh that looks cozy!
@oliviaoblivia: what kind of snowsuit do you have? Your LO is a newborn, no? Do you have her in the toddler seat or the bassinet?
Anyone else?

we have the jj cole and it is more of a body bundle rather than anything that covers head/around face! works great for car rides/transfer between car and shopping center/grocery store/etc. but not for walks, etc. in cold weather. i'm going to get the 7am for outdoor walks in the coming months since our "spring" is pretty chilly too. and if i were in nyc, id def get the 7am!

@mrsjyw: thanks! I"m probably going to end up getting the 7am, and maybe the jjcole urban bundle me for spring/fall weather...I wish I had it now, it's supposed to be in the teens the rest of this week!

I agree that the 7am is a better cold weather walk choice. Because LO is still so small we are trying to not have her out in the crazy cold too much. The bundle me is good for transfers from car to store or quick runs to Starbucks, but I wouldn't rely on it for arctic warmth.

@oliviaoblivia: aw that snowsuit is super cute. Yeah, it seems like the 7am one is better for winter weather, especially since we walk a lot/go out daily.

We have the 7am one and we have no complaints so far. I like how it does gather around LO's face, especially in this weather! I also hesitated given the reviews on Amazon, specifically because I wondered whether or not it would hold up after being washed, but we've washed it twice already and it still looks as good as new. We bought ours for 20% off during Amazon Mom's last appreciation event so I didn't feel so bad about splurging.
