Product Description

Editorial Review

Designed by a mom, the Nano Bag is a cozy hooded sack (with durable, waterproof material on the outside, ultra-soft fleece on the inside) that eliminates the need for extra blankets. Simply put baby "in the bag" and your little bundle can be easily moved from home to car seat to stroller without the hassle of layering (and unlayering). Our favorite feature of all: slots for car seat and stroller safety straps--so baby stays safe and toasty warm. It also makes a fabulous baby shower gift. --Melissa Wilson

5.0 out of 5 stars A must-have for all parents!!!, February 28, 2003

This is, without a doubt, the single best baby item we have ever purchased! We live in Maine, so we endure some of the coldest conditions a baby can ever imagine. Our daughter is 5 months old, and we have been using our Nano Bag since she was born. The wind-proof outer layer and thick fleece lining is a perfect combination for cold winter conditions, rain, and wind. Unlike the carseat covers that have a hole in them for the baby to peek out of, this zip-front design allows you to make small adjustments for various temperatures, and ensures a proper fit for babies of all ages and sizes. There are drawstrings around the head opening to keep baby warm on extra cold days, and there is plenty of growing room at the bottom of the bag. At 5 months old, our baby's feet don't even come close to the end of the bag. We love being able to dress her lightly so that we can make the carseat straps very snug, and the Nano Bag allows us to do so even on the coldest of days. When we get into the warm car, we simply unzip the front so she doesn't overheat, and then re-zip when we arrive at our destination- very quick and simple adjustments. It also makes her feel less confined than strapping her in with bulky outerwear. This way, she stays warm and can wiggle her arms and legs around in the comfort of the bag. We get comments on "how wonderful" this Nano Bag is whenever we go out, and we rave about it to everyone who asks about it. I would pay twice as much as I did for this item and highly recommend it to every parent! ENJOY!

5.0 out of 5 stars throw out the snow suit!, May 13, 2002

The hood feature is what makes this bag so great, it keeps every bit of warmth in when you need it. And when you don't, just undo the drawstring. In the coldest of temperatures our newborn was warm. This product is particularly great for times when you are going in and out of doors often. Just unzip and rezip to prevent your baby from overheating. Plus, no need to wake a sleeping baby, just unzip when you go indoors and leave the baby alone.

I saw one review about not putting anything bulky behind your baby while in her car seat. Remember the Nano bag is used in place of a bulky snow suit or jacket - so its not any more dangerous than your baby's outerwear.

So get rid of your snow suit and use the Nano bag.

I live in Germany where winter has definitely arrived. My baby was born preemie in early Sept, too small for the Nano bag at first. It was still warm at the time.
I started using it about 3 weeks ago when she hit 9 pounds/21 inches. I have a 5 point seatbelt in an Evenflo carseat. With the hood folded around the back of the seat and the bag's strap slid under some holders also in the back, the bag is secure and unmoving. Her harness fits snugly against her without any slack once I tighten it up.
In fact, the seat fits better now than with any jackets I've put on her. They're too bulky & fit her tiny body loosely, but take up space in the seat.
She has to keep warm now that winter has arrived and I fail to see how coats and blankets tucked around her will protect from nasty weather. The carseat now lighter and easier to carry without worrying that blankets will fall off or drag in puddles when taking it out of the car.
It's certainly warmer in 20 degree weather going to/from car & buildings than any coat or blanket I could have tucked around her. And it will not blow off in high winds.
This product might not have been "safety tested" by the NTSA, but I fail to see how it would interfere with a seat's ability to ensure that baby does not escape the seat in a car crash. Everything is secure & tight as it should be. I am paranoid when it comes to safety seats (benefit of being a cop for 8 years), so I would not use this if I thought it would choke or cause her ejection from her seat in case of a crash. It's why I deliberatly purchased a carseat with 5 point harness instead of one providing only 3point harness protection. Highway speeds at 100+mph is much more worrisome and a reality here than in the US, so I am a very concerned parent.

The only thing I do not care much about with this product is the top slot provided for a 3 point harness. It sits where her head rests and gapes a bit. I am still using the "manufacture provided head rest" and it covers this spot. So this is manageable, but I am considering stitching that slot up. Too bad it didn't come with a velcro closure.

I like this product so much that I am considering buying the toddler version when she outgrows this one.
