JJ Cole Toddler Bundle Me - Product Review


Brrrr! It's cold out! Time for winter gear!

I've been using the JJ Cold Toddler Bundle Me for years. I've got two of them now so both my boys can stay warm on our winter walks. I have the
fleece lined Urban. Why? Because the fleece seemed like the right amount of warmth and I also liked how it looked (a good reason, right?). There is also the less expensive fleece lined Original bundle me, a lighter fabric bundle me and a super protective Arctic bundle me available.

We are a very active family and the Bundle Me let's us keep active even during the cold winter months. At the minimum, we go on 2-3 mile walks with our stroller most days of the week. I do get some glares from people who I'm sure think we are nuts to be out, but our kids are warm and cozy in their 'sleeping bags'.

The bundle me works with most strollers. It has worked with all the strollers I've tried it on (my baby jogger city select, which I think is the best stroller in existence, is shown above), but I'm sure the the second I say it works with all strollers I'll be found wrong:) It has holes that you can put your car seat/stroller straps through, although we don't usually use these since we have a bar with our strollers that keeps the kids put. You can unzip the bundle me if it starts to get warm out and zip it back up if it starts to get cold. My only complaint is that I wish there was some way to keep the zippers in place so baby can't push them down. Also (ok, I guess I had two complaints), the zippers can be tough to pull up when your child is inside the pouch. I suppose this is true for most zippers if they are not at a straight angle, but I can wish for a miracle zipper, right?

We have only used this for our stroller (I had a different one specifically for newborns) so I can't really comment on the use of this with a car seat although I know it can be safely done.

If you buy one, I would buy the toddler size if your baby is past the infant stage so you won't have to upgrade soon and end up spending unnecessary money. If you have a newborn, there is the infant size you can buy.

As for quality, it is well made. I've used one of them several hundred of times, the other, a few hundred times. No problem so far. Even the zippers are still holding up well.

Below is a picture of my son Joshua in the stroller before we got the bundle me. I do not miss the days of dragging blankets and retucking blankets! Since we're on the topic, isn't that the cutest blanket ever?

  10. Hi Rachel... I'm here from the blog hop. Your site is a great resource... although my own two are well beyond this stage. Establishing positive sleep routines can sometimes be a challenge for some of the families with whom I work, and I will be sure to pass on your site as a resource.

    I left you a review as well :)

  13. Leah,
    I have noticed children with autism seem to have poorer sleep habits. I don't know enough to say why exactly, but it can sure add the struggles of parenting! Thanks for visiting. Left you a review as well :)
