I started with the Original Bundle Me because I was using a friend's but she was also pregnant and needed hers back so I purchased this one and I like the JJ Cole Urban Bundle Me better. Here is why: the faux sherling on the original, was prone to pilling of the fabric and caught lint, hair and other debris. The original was heavier and a bit bulkier. I like the fabric of the Urban Bundle Me better. It's lighter weight and the exterior material wipes clean easier. Overall the product is great and does what it says, which is keep your baby warm. Having tried both the original and this Urban version, I like this better.

I just bought this for my baby and I LOVE it. I was going to get the original but then I saw this at the store and thought it looked nicer so I got it instead. This has all the ease of the original bundle me-but I prefer the inside fabric a hundred times over. It's this nice soft micro-material that stays nice and soft through washing. I also love the pocket on the top-its great for little things like binkys, car keys, even cell phones! And of course the best part is we dont need to put our baby in one of those big bulky snowsuits. This is soooo much easier! I have already gotten a ton of complements on the way it looks too-the quilted fabric is very chic looking. I would recommend this to any parent expecting a baby in the cool months!

I love this carrier cover. It is so soft and it keeps my baby warm. It also protects her from the rain when we step out from the car to the places we are going to. Everyone is always asking me where I baught this cover. There is nothing like it!

I totally recomend this product.

This bundle me is really nice in terms of style and warmth, but it's so small! My son is 6 months old and can't even straighten his legs. (he's tall, but this should fit up to a 1 year old according to the description). We had to return it. They make a toddler version, but Amazon doesn't seem to carry it.

I have lived in cold climates for each of my kids, and have hated the dreaded bundle up and squeeze into the carseat routine. It makes traveling so much easier now that I can leave baby without a big bunting and know she'll be warm and cozy. The zippers are great - almost 6 months of use every single day and not a problem. I have washed it several times and it looks like new and has held up wonderfully. I have used it on windy days, when I was a bit sceptical about it being windproof, and it stood the test. Moving it from the carseat to the stroller is a sinch with the velcro closures in the back. I don't have any cons to list this has been such a great item for us.

I would not recommend this for the Chicco Keyfit car seat. The fit is so poor that it looks terrible and because of the bad fit I don't expect our newborn to be able to wear it for the whole winter before he outgrows it. I am very disappointed because I love this product, it is so warm and cozy, both the interior and exterior fabrics are perfect. We have the toddler version we use on our stroller for big sister and it keeps her warm and dry even in rainstorms. But this one just does not fit our car seat, Chicco Keyfit.

This is not a basic item. You can do without it but if you have enough gift cards and can swallow the price--- ITS GREAT! The feel inside is soft/warm but not bunched up and hot. Outside is weather resistant and easy to clean.

I own the Original Bundle me and bought this new Urban bundle me for my cousin's baby. The Original Bundle Me seems to be warmer with the faux sheepskin on the inside instead of the micro-fleece on the inside of the Urban version. The faux sheepskin seems to be cozier for baby, too. When it is super cold outside, you have to add your own blankets inside either bundleme, but having the bundle me definitely helps keep the blankets where you put them.

One aspect of the Urban version that I liked better is that the nylon exterior of the Urban picks up less "debris" than the fleece exterior of the Original. The fleece seems to attract hair, dirt, etc. The nylon Urban is also rain/water resistant. The Original fleece one never seemed to get wet even though it doesn't make the claim that it is water resistant.

Another point to make is that I bought the Bundle Me Lite for the spring and fall months, but didn't really use it all that much. Unless you live in an area where the spring and fall months are cool for an extended period of time, I would just stick with the Original or Urban version. Here I guess the weather goes straight from Summer to Winter!

The whole line of BundleMe products is an AMAZING god-send if you have ever had to put a baby into a coat or snowsuit and then tried to put the car seat straps around them. I can't tell you which one will suit your needs more, just trying to help make your selection process more successful!! Whichever one you choose will definitely make your life SOOO much easier!

I don't know if it fits better on another brand of car seat, but the fit on the chicco keyfit, is all wonky, it doesn't cover all of the top, and it runs quite short. We were up in Conn. during a snowstorm over Halloween weekend recently, and being from VA, i wanted to make sure she stayed warm, so i got some tight and this to supplement what clothes i had with me to keep her warm. It did keep her warm, but it doesn't even go to the end of the car seat on either end, and my husband hates to try and buckle her in with it as he has a hard time find where straps have gone, its a good thing i don't think we will be using it long as shes over 6 months now. I posted pictures because i wanted to see how they fit before buying one initially, and nowhere did i find pictures of them on different brand seats.

We have both an Urban and the Lite Bundle Me. I'm glad we bought both! The thicker Urban has been great in the colder weather. It's thicker, and so stiffer, than the Lite, which makes it easier for me to zip up in the carseat and then fold the 'flap' down to leave my daughter's face exposed. In windy, cold or nasty weather I bring the flap up to cover her completely for the short outdoor time between car and destination.

The Lite is flimsier, and was perfect for early Fall and I'm starting to use it in the stroller for warmer winter days. I personally prefer the stiffer Urban, but the Urban is so much warmer than the Lite I'm glad to have both.

Switching the 2 is very easy and takes only a minute or two.

With both versions, we just put on a hat and the baby is ready to go! No jackets or snowsuits needed.

We also have a set of Cushy Straps (cute fleece animal-shaped covers for the stroller/carseat straps that cushion the straps AND help keep the child's head from lolling around) and those help keep the top of baby from being too exposed when you have the Bundle Me folded down or partially unzipped.
