Phil & Ted's Snuggle & Snooze Sleeping Bag - Foot Muff

Phil and Teds Snuggle and Snooze Sleeping Bag In Charcoal/BlackFits into the P&T stroller perfectly and is generously sized without being too bulky etc. Our boy is only 6-months old now but I can foresee it being good until he grows out of the stroller. We just leave it in the stroller all the time at the moment, but it's very quick and easy to put in and take out if needs be just need to feed the harness through the gaps.

SO super cosy and warm we don't always even need a coat/snowsuit for my son when he's snuggied up in his P&T sleeping bag. Just popping his hat on and zipping him in seems to be more than warm enough for short walks, even in the wintery cold of Vermont. J positively beams when we zip him into it he thinks it's great fun and loves to snuggle into the soft and cosy fleecey lining. The whole thing can be done up so there's only a little 'peep hole' at the top, or it easily loosens off and unzips if things heat up too much.

I did have a slight concern at first about the length of loose cords when we tighten the hood round J's face but they tuck behind safely out of the way.

In a nutshell it is very convenient to use, keeps my boy lovely and warm, definitely reduces the need to battle with snow suits on short outings (tho I'd still bundle up additionally if we're going to be out longer or if it's particularly windy). My only uncertainty is that I haven't tried washing it yet...

Ok, I'll be honestI was a little sketched out about this when it came. It is called a sleeping bag, but I didn't understand how the kiddo wouldn't end up wrapped up face down in it and not be able to breathe. (our little guy is 11 monthwe just finished a 3 location camping trip up PCH in Cali)

The first night I didn't use it, I just bundled him up in extra layers and he ended up snuggled up with us anyhow.

The second night hubby told me I was "using the freakin' sleeping bag"it's not cheap, so it's gettin' used. Ok, ok.....

I waited till he was pretty sleepy and laid him in itzipped it up then put him in his pack n play.

Our kiddo's usual move is to immediately flip onto his chest with his booty in the air, but he for whatever reason, stayed on his back. I checked on him incessantly, because I'm nuts, but he stayed on his back and slept GREAT, best night of sleep in a WHILE.

I look forward to our next trips and know this will be a great sleeping bag for the upcoming fall/winter outtings especially since we can use it IN his stroller when we go to Mammoth! bonus!!

Fellow moms:

I had already one Phil and Ted sleeping sac (with my P&T stroller) and liked it. It's a bit short for my older child, so I was thinking of getting one of the other sleeping sacs out there... so I went to the store and compared my P&T with (a) Brookspond Perennial Buggy Blanket (toddler size) and (b) JJ Cole Urban (also toddler size of course).

What I found: these 'toddler size' buntings seem to come in the same length anyway, so there's no real advantage of one over the other in terms of overall length. The JJ Cole Urban and the Bookspond have more features to adjust to different strollers, but obviously the P&T bunting fits perfect into a P&T stroller. The JJ Cole seems lighther (less warm I suppose) than the P&T, and the downsides of the Brookspond I thought were that it's less 'cozy'/feels more rigid. The Brookspond's feature of having an insert for boots seems like a good idea, on the one hand, but that part of the bunting is not insulated, so I'm thinking that toddler, maybe, will start feeling cold on the feet. (Currently I just have my older one take off her dirty shoes when sitting in the P&T sac.)

I agree with mom from Vermont that this bunting is indeed really warm (we live in Boston). My older one has never complained about not feeling warm enough after being bundled up in the sac. The opposite: she seems really pleased and happy with it.

Gist of it: I just bought another P&T sleeping sac for my second child because of the good experiences I've had and because other products on the market didn't seem any better (for my purposes).

great quality, easy to use, seems sturdy and durable, it could TOTALLY use some improvement to latch the cover to the stroller as it keep sliding down every time you place you child in it!
