The verdict
This is the swaddle we hand every new parent. The wrap-and-fasten wings are foolproof when you're exhausted, the roomy bottom is certified hip-healthy, and you can swaddle arms-in or one-arm-out as the startle reflex fades. The inverted zipper makes diaper changes a one-handed job. It's not the most durable fabric, but at this price and this margin of safety, it's the easy #1.
