I purchased one of these prior to my son being born last October to be used in his stroller and it has been a great product. It really does work to insulate in the winter and I have used it all summer in Portland Oregon without a problem even on the hottest days of 90 plus degrees. I was so satisfied with it last winter that I purchased another one for an area rug to be used primarily for tactile purposed and he really enjoyed it. I am hoping to find one of similar quality as a mattress pad for his crib this winter as well. I preferred this version for my stroller because it had better coverage then the one they sell for strollers and I just cut holes where it was necessary. I should also add that the rug is easy to wash with wool cleaner on delicate cycle and it doesn't shed which is great because my son Christian likes to pull and suck on everything.

I am an Australian and my parents are New Zealanders. They sent me one of these for my first child, she is now 2 and still lies on it in her bed and stroller. Then I ordered myself another one for my son now 6 months old. I live in the US now and order them for any friend having a baby. I simply throw mine in the washing machine and then fluff air dry it.

I HIGHLY recommend this.

Our newborn used to hate tummy time until my sister got us this as a gift! Now he loves loves tummy time. This is him doing TT at 3 weeks. The best part is that this can be used for multiple things, like making the stroller cozy for walks. It is very soft and cozy. I wish I had one in my size!

My sister also got us the lambskin wash too. The directions for maintaining the lambskin doesn't require it but it seems like a good idea to use. You should wash it once a month.

The lambskin is the ultimate multitasker: changing pad, nap mat, playmat, carseat liner, you name it. It is unbelievably cushy without being too bulky, it regulates temperature perfectly, and it's super-easy to spot clean (use a cleaner with lanolin in it). I also love that the skin backing doesn't pick up dirt. My baby has slept on her lamby everywhere, including a concrete parking lot. My 3 year old naps on it every day. Heck, I've even slept on it! You won't regret this purchase. It was the best one I made. My only regret is that I didn't have one when my older daughter was a babe.

I bought one of these for my third child and I wish I would have had it with all three!! It is well worth the money.

My daughter has slept on it since she came home from the hospital and continues to now at 11 months. She sleeps better and it is a comfort to her. She recognizes it and smiles and lays on it even if we put it on the floor. If you have ever felt one, you know why. I want one!! It feels great, offers comfort and security, is easy to care for, and is portable! I am giving them for gifts now. A great find.

This item was purchased off my Baby Registry at Amazon and sold via Serendipity Shopper and the whole experience was wonderful. The package arrived promptly and the shorn sheepskin was exactly as I had envisioned. We machined washed(with enzyme free baby shampoo) and dried it and it retained it's lovely lamb's wool texture. It is soft and warm and we use it as a base layer between the bassinet mattress and sheets and our son sleeps very well with the extra cushioning it gives. Carol at Serendipity Shopper was fantastic and helped us sort out a little problem we had with too many of our friends buying this for us(without using the registry link!) and all in all we are so happy with the end result.

This was amazing until a leaky disposable diaper meant we had to wash it. We used the recommended Kookaburra Wool Wash and followed the directions. The individual fibers on the sheepskin clumped together, so that it is rather like someone made a little rug out of many short pieces of yarn, and the skin is now somewhat brittle. We tried working in lanolin, like you would for a woolie wrap cloth diaper cover, and we tried brushing the fibers with a sheep brush. Unfortunately though it's now just a shadow of its former glory. Wish I'd never washed it.

I purchase these frequently to give as a baby shower gift due to a friend getting one and her newborn loving it. Recently had a baby of my own and I recieved one as a gift. My little boy loves the feel on his skin as he lays on the belly for some Tummy Time. They wash well, are easy to care for and is great for not only cold climates (which is an assumption on my part) but also great for warm environments---it keeps him cool---which is surprising to me. Super soft--my husband keeps telling me that we need to buy one big enough for him and Tummy Time. :

My daughter requested a baby sheepskin for her infant son, so of course I was happy to oblige. Well why not? She was raised on one. When we were shopping for baby things during her pregnancy she snagged a cheapie at a local baby store. I told her no sheepskin was going to touch my grandbaby's bottom unless it was made especially for baby, had to be washable and have no nasty chemicals on it from the tanning process and to take it back. She went on a hunt for the right one. We weren't satisfied until we found the Bowron products. We were unsure if we should get shorn or unshorn so we chose the shorn. We found that her son loves it. He sleeps wonderfully on and and we can wash it whenever it needs. We may get the unshorn for a handy carry along later. We were happy with the cost. Don't let cheap ones fool you, they can't be washed and they fall apart and smell. This is a quality product.

I had previously bout a long hair sheep skin rug but ended up returning it for this one. I like this shorn one much better- Seems safer for the baby.Great quality!
