The Love To Dream Swaddle UP Transition Bag is designed to transition your baby from swaddled sleeping to arms-free sleeping. Parents know that swaddling their newborns is important. Babies between two to three months grow fast, and when they are able to roll over or show signs that their startle reflex has diminished, they are ready to be transitioned from swaddling to arms-free sleeping. But this transition can sometimes be hard because babies may still have some startle reflex present and they are used to being swaddled. The Love To Dream team designed the Swaddle UP Transition Bag, formerly called Swaddle UP 50/50, – which is Stage 2 in Love To Dream’s 3 Stage Sleep System - to make this transition easy for both baby and parents. The Swaddle UP Transition Bag shares the same features as the Swaddle UP Original, but with the added versatility of patented zip-off wings. The Swaddle UP Transition Bag will gently transition your baby from sleeping snuggly swaddled towards having the independence of sleeping with his or her arms free. The zipper design makes it easy to go back to the original swaddle design if your baby is not ready to transition. Once your little one is comfortable with both wings removed, the Swaddle UP Transition Bag can be used like a snug and comfy wearable blanket, but with baby still feeling swaddled. Since 2008, Love To Dream has been finding simple, yet genius solutions to everyday parenting and baby needs. Our desire was always to create products that looked great and more importantly provided a solution to a parenting challenge. The best news of all is that our products work! So everyone in the family will achieve a better night’s sleep. Functionality, usefulness and innovation are key for Love To Dream. It is vital that we offer products to parents (just like us) that will make their lives simpler and less stressful.

Great concept, arm too short

FranOR - 1 month ago, Verified purchaser
Baby and family really love the product line but this particular item, the convertible, doesn’t have enough room for the arm. There needs to be a bit more length there. Baby is well-shielded from zipper for armhole when arm zipped up, not sure yet when worn sleeveless.
Godsend!

Such a life saver! Our 2mo started to break out of swaddling and really hate it. I was looking for a transition swaddle and found this one. She slept so well last night without trying to break out or being startled.

The fabric of this transition sleep sack is great but the design is terrible. The area around my babies neck pushes back way too much and the further he lifts his arms the worse it gets. The arm area is also extremely small and doesn’t look comfortable at all. I personally don’t think these should be sold until this is fixed it’s dangerous.

We loved the Love To Dream arms up swaddle so I thought this would be great for transitioning to a swaddle but honestly my baby hated it. He did not like having one arm out and woke up multiple times at night. We ended up just going cold turkey into a swaddle and that worked out much better for us.
Not the best for transition.

I liked the regular love to dream swaddle but as a transition product this one didn’t do the job for my baby. Once she started wanting to move her arms more to soothe it just frustrated her to not be able to get her hands. Then if I let her hands fully out she would startle reflex too much still. The Merlin Sleep Suit ended up working much better for us for those reasons. Helped the startle reflex while allowing her full access to her hands.
never arrived, ordered TWICE

I tried ordering the swaddle on Amazon and on target and my Amazon order got "Lost" and so I just got a refund, and my target order said it was gonna be delivered two days ago, and it still hasn't. I don't know what the problem is. it's very annoying as I need this to get a good nights sleep, but for some reason it can never arrive to my house.

Trying to find the next alternative to a swaddle now my son can break out of those and is 4 months old but unfortunately I do not like this sleep sack. The neck area/zipper pushed into my baby’s neck. I have the correct size sack as my baby fits nicely inside it, but once my baby lies down and his arms are up in the arm holders, it naturally slides up and pushes too much into his neck for me to feel comfortable allowing him to sleep like that safely. I wanted to like it but I unfortunately did not like this sleep sack.
SUFFOCATION HAZARD!!

I absolutely loved this swaddle at first. Then one night I noticed my baby lifted her arms up and the swaddle neck area completely covered her mouth and nose! I’m lucky I noticed before going to bed! I have the correct size as well

My newborn only liked to be held or covered with a fleece blanket to sleep. This product has helped not only him sleep but this mama too! 10/10 recommend!

We have used these swaddles for both of our babies. When we started using these again, I remembered why I loved it so much 4 years ago. Both our babies have been amazing sleepers and I could swear these are the reason!

GraceB - 1 year ago, Verified purchaser
Seems comfortable for my baby, and the fit is good according to weight. I like that it has a TOG rating as it makes it easier to know how to dress baby underneath. I like the zip off feature so it’ll be easier to transition from swaddling once the time comes.
Best thing ever!

These swaddles are a game CHANGER! The one you buy before this one that doesn’t unzip the hands literally saved the day…or night I should say. Baby went from waking every two hours to sleeping through the night. I wish I could still swaddle her in the other one but she’s rolling now and that’s dangerous. I still like this swaddle though I just have to lean farther into the crib when putting her down for that initial startle reflex.

We absolutely loved our newborn swaddle up and this really helped our son transition into not having his arms inside a swaddle
Neckline is choking hazard

AM - 2 years ago, Verified purchaser
I’m not sure why there aren’t more reviews mentioning the terrible neckline design. I feel like it should be a choking hazard. I bought the correct size for my baby based on the size chart but the neckline is so tiny that it digs into the back of his neck. For reference, my baby is 14 lbs and 24.5”. There is no pull to the neckline and I can’t even fit one finger between the neckline and my baby’s neck. If he pulls his hands to his mouth to soothe, it is even much worse. I do not recommend this product at all.
Perfect for transition from regular swaddling

This swaddle has been so helpful in helping our baby transition from being traditionally swaddled with her arms down. At 3 1/2 months, she no longer wants to be swaddled with her arms down, but she still has a pretty strong startle reflex - so sleep was becoming very difficult again! She seems to really like this Love to Dream swaddle, because she can have her arms up, and use her hands to self-soothe if she wants to, but it still helps with her startle reflex and with feeling snug and secure. This has been a life saver for us so far!

I was hoping this would work to help my little girl sleep more during a startle. The first time I put it on it was a no go. When she would move it pulled the zipper and fabric up over her chin or under and press on her throat. I'm not sure why this happened but the sizing is correct for what they said. Disappointed.
