    This one (in the largest size). I bought it from One Kings Lane, so it was more like $75 than $130, if I remember correctly - it was definitely less than $100!

    Ours is a silvery gray color and it is seriously the most super soft, plush blanket I've ever felt. My mom also bought me the small sized one for the stroller, which we used a ton when E was an infant.

    No way. Unless you told me it was the solution to our nap problems. In that case I would buy 10.

    @yoursilverlining: that's exactly the kind of thing I'm looking for!! Since we are having a winter baby, I want a super nice blanket for a car seat/stroller blanket that's also super soft and luxurious so she will want to use it a long time. I pretty things.

    Thank you!

    I'm going to say yes only because my dream baby blanket is almost $200, but it's personalized and has giraffes on it. I die!

    I would if I liked the quality and look. But, I also spend $100 on yoga pants without batting an eye much to DH's dismay! So, I may not be the right person toask!

    I'd buy it if I really wanted it. I still have my BIG BIG BIG baby/toddler blanket from 30 years ago-- dh & i use it on our bed as a duvet !

    @Rainbow Sprinkles: Last time I was at Jo-Ann fabrics I saw some fabric that was very similar (not *quite* as plush, but still very, very soft!) and it wasn't too expensive, plus you can use a 40% off coupon. If you know someone with a sewing machine, I bet it would be a super easy project!!

    I don't think I would go out of my way to buy a polyester blanket, soft or not.

    @lamariniere: Right?! I used to scoff at "expensive" strollers. But now I know their valuable for how much they're used!

    We have 2 AA Dream blankets, and for the size and how long they can use them, I think they're worth it.

    @yoursilverlining: @Rainbow Sprinkles: Ah! LOVE that blanket! K loved that swirly, fur material she has on a vest. So I saw stroller blanket in the same material at Nordstrom Rack and bought it for her. She loves it too. It's light-weight and easy to pack. But I will say that even though people think they see the same exact blankets as the LG one, they usually are not as thick or plush or soft. The cheaper ones usually feel more dry and static-y, and not as plush or heavy. Not that that's bad, just not fair to compare oranges to cantaloupes, you know what I mean?

    if I could afford it..maybe!

    O has a pink blanket that looks very similar to the one you posted, but it's from BRU (was a gift when she was born). No idea what it cost, though!

    Maybe for an xmas or birthday gift. I'm currently obsessed with a baby blanket that costs like $120, so....

    @Rainbow Sprinkles: I would if I really loved it. We have an a+a dream blanket that we use all the time. It's awesome. I also have this stroller blanket in pink from PBK that I had personalized with M's name. It is the softest blanket I have ever felt! I love it so, so much.

    I am seriously in love with the A&A dream blanket. I am typically incredibly frugal, but it was worth every penny!

    OK. I just googled the dream blanket. It doesn't even look that warm and cozy... is it pretty thin?
