5.0 out of 5 stars For frigid Minnesota winters, we needed this!, December 9, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: JJ Cole Arctic Bundle me Infant (Baby Product)
I have a horrible habit of researching every product I buy. This purchase frustrated me because I couldn't find a shred of first hand experience for it. I ordered it anyway, because our winters in Northern Minnesota made the other Bundle Me's by JJ Cole look inadequate and we needed something.

It arrived today and I couldn't be happier. This is very well made- thick and with a heavy exterior shell like a good Columbia or North Face ski jacket. On the inside is a very plush and soft fleece lining. Between the exterior shell and this inner fleece lining is a material like Thinsulate and it's about an inch or so thick.

There are multiple slots for proper placement of shoulder straps and for the crotch strap which should allow this to work with any car seat. Ours is a Graco Snugride, and we were able to use the head support that came with the car seat along with the Arctic Bundle Me. It zips both ways, so you can get access to the feet of your child without completely uncovering them or unzip it and fold it down towards the feet. When you zip it all the way up it covers the face of our 2 month old but does not rest on his face. His hat protects the rest of his head. You can also leave it zipped most of the way up and fold it over as shown in the photo so your child can see. There is a velcro dot on either side that holds it folded over. The "hoodie" top is a little bulky and serves its purpose, but it would have been nice if it attached to the lower zippered part somehow. The main function of this part that I see is that it protects from wind.

On tonights outing the temperature was 1 degree above zero, with 30-35 mile an hour winds, making it about 15-20 below zero with the windchill. The Arctic Bundle Me was great for keeping him warm between the car and the restaurant and I could pull the hoodie top down far enough to keep the wind out of his face while still allowing him some fresh air. Upon arrival home he was toasty warm in just the sleeper and hat he wore on this outing.

It's an expensive product, but if you have cold winters and a growing baby, by the time you add up the cost of the heavy winter clothes he'll outgrow, this makes more sense to buy. Additional benefits are better safety due to the 5 point harness being closer to your child, as well as the ease of being able to plop your child in here with just about anything he has on and head out the door.

Love it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Best option for ease of use in really cold weather, February 26, 2010
This review is from: JJ Cole Arctic Bundle me Infant (Baby Product)
Looked around at a lot of buntings and fleece covers. So many of them are cheap and flimsy and don't look or feel warm. Others look to much like a high tech sleeping bag. This bag is of extremely high quality and very functional in its design. Easy to swap from car seat to stroller and back. Very good looking without being too technical looking. Basically a stylish and warm sleeping sack for your baby. Easy to open up when you are in a car - the whole front zips off. Has openings in the back that accommodate all types of straps and belts. Front pockets are useful for a pacifier. Seems very warm - have had baby in it in very cold temps (single digits) and always seem comfortable. Works great in infant car seats. I was tempted to just get the larger one b/c of the price - but the infant one is the right size for an infant seat. The larger one would be too big. Its expensive but well worth the price for both its style and its function. Would recommend without any hesitation. When our duaghter out grows this will buy the larger size for her.

Got this for our newborn boy. It gets really cold in Chicago and we were worried that the regular Bundle Me wouldn't be warm enough. This Arctic one definitely is! No need for a coat, snowsuit, or even a sweater in this!! LOVE it and HIGHLY recommend it.

I bought this because we were going to Colorado in February. It kept my son perfectly warm even in cold weather. Protection against wind and snow is great. Easy to install and easy to use. Strongly recommended!
