Jade Awarded The Cocoon Babies Blanket 5/5

The blanket arrived in a well presented box. When opening the box, each blanket was wrapped separately in tissue paper. Care had been taken to package the blankets and fitted with the price mark for the blankets. The instructions were easy to follow as the product is very easy and versatile to use. There is no confusion as to how to use the straps using a 3 point harness as there is only one way this could possibly work. We have Maxi Cosi car seats and the product fitted brilliantly. The blanket was very easy to use. Once the straps are through holes in the blanket, no further installation is needed. Depending on the weather, you can either button up or leave the buttons on the front to provide air to the baby.  With the colder weather, it provided great warmth to the babies and they felt well cocooned in their car seat. Both babies slept well in their car seat whilst in the car and remained settled. The great thing about the blanket is that you can take the blanket out with the baby in and place it into their pram. This meant that on cold days, the baby wasn’t left cold whilst transferring from car seat to pram. The thickness of the cocoon meant that a snow suit was not needed as the cocoon provided the same amount of warmth. This meant that in a carpark, we were not having to dress and undress the baby whilst transitioning from the car. The buttons were really easy to use and provided ventilation to the babies when required. The buttons pop shut and open easily meaning the baby is not disturbed. There were many occasions where the buttons would have been shut whilst out and then easily opened once baby had transitioned into the car. The thickness of the blanket is fantastic so babies are not cold when exposed to the elements. It is easy to change the temperature provided to the baby by opening the buttons and either leaving the blanket open or partially closing the blanket. When using the blanket in the pram, a snowsuit was not required as blanket provided the warmth required. Because the straps sit underneath the top of the blanket and directly onto the babies chest the babies were securely fastened into their harness. For a lot of first time parents, this is something they are not aware of when dressing babies in thick coats in their car seats. This is a fantastic selling point of the cocoon baby. The holes for the straps were easy to use and of a good size for the straps to fit through easily. We used the blanket with a maxi Cosi car seat and the hole positioning was great. We were even able to put the straps through whilst the baby was still in the blanket when transitioning back from the pram to the car seat. The material used was lovely and soft and perfect on new born babies’ sensitive skin. The blankets have kept their softness even after being washed. We used this blanket daily before the extremely hot spell as it remained in the car seat and was easy to use. The blanket remained in the car seat and was used daily. The blanket was then used in the pram and was easy to keep the baby cocooned whilst transitioning from the car seat to pram and back again. The blanket was easy to clean and was placed in a wash with other baby items. We have washed the blankets twice and they continue to be lovely and soft. They have retained their colour and shape. The product was attractive and looked great on the car seat and in the pram. We chose the white lining which would go with any colour pram. They were so easy to use and versatile and the babies kept warm and snug whilst using them. It was easy to keep the baby warm whilst transitioning from car to pram. This is good value for money. This is priced the same as a quality blanket but are far easier and quicker to use as the baby is tucked in and warm straight away. The product looks and feels great even after 2 washes. They have been made to a high standard. I would buy this. These have made life a lot easier and are extremely safe. This should be a selling point of the cocoon as not many people are aware of the dangers of babies wearing coats in a car seat. I have already recommended these to my friends who have/expecting a new born. They are easy to use, attractive, safe and keep babies warm. Our babies were very content whilst in them. This is a high quality blanket which is versatile and easy to use. They look smart when used in the pram or car seat and many people commented asking where they were from. The wool effect makes them look and feel cosy. This blanket is safe so ensure that baby is well strapped in to the car seat. Easy to change the temperature of the baby by unfastening the buttons. Easy to connect to the car seat as the holes in the back are big. Ensures that baby stays warm whilst transitioning from the car to pram as no snow suit is required. Easy to transition baby back into the car seat whilst baby is still in the cocoon. Jade Brooks – Elsie & Olivia 10 Weeks

It was nicely presented in a box with a lovely thank you card from the company which made me feel important to the company and they had taken the time and effort to do that. It was very well instructed and clear to use. I managed to use it first time with the instructions. This blanket was very easy to use and had no problems with it. The poppers worked very well, unfortunately my daughter is a light sleeper and any movement can wake her but it didn’t cause too much of a disturbance for her. Unfortunately the time I received the item we have had very warm weather so I have only been able to use it a couple of times but she seemed very snug and comfy in it. It looked as though she was safe while sat in it so I was happy to keep her in it. She looked secure still in her car seat and didn’t see any threat to her safety. I had no issues at all with any of the harness straps. This looked very cosy and she seemed happy enough to be in it. I have only used the item a few times due to us having warm weather. I have used this in her car seat and at home. I have not had to wash this yet, but am sure it will wash easily. I like that it’s very well presented and feels good quality. It looks quite comfy and has a nice feel to it. The poppers are good quality. Yes very much so good value due to the high quality of this blanket. This feels lovely to hold and very well made. No issues at all with the quality.  I would buy this as it is a very nice blanket and works very well. I am very happy with the product and would recommend it to others. Really like the product it’s good quality and worth the money. It is unfortunate that we have had nice weather so I have not been able to use it as much as I’d like to have done but I am looking forward to being able to use it over this next winter as she will still be able to use it then.

I was very impressed when the cocoon babies blanket arrived it felt very personal. The blanket was hand packed which instantly gave the feeling of quality. .The instructions were very clear and easy to understand. Sometimes instructions can to long winded but these were very simple with step by step pictures. So simple and effective. Once it was set up in the car seat you could easily clip this and keep our baby boy nice and warm. Again as it was so simple to use the poppers as  there was very little disturbance which we found brilliant.  You could see that as soon as we put Alexander into the seat he loved the comfort and feel of the blanket. Once the blanket was fitted through the holes there was no more messing around and was easy to clip in and go.  I did not know this has been crash safety tested and is proven to provide added protection for baby’s head and chest whilst in the car seat and this just shows the quality of the product and the testing it has gone through. This blanket was used at least 3 – 4 times a week while nipping to the park or going shopping and was so good due to the cold weather we have had this year. We only ever used it in the car seat and was a great addition in the cold weather as the snow suits or winter suits can sometimes be so difficult to put on and cause discomfort. This blanket was great for the comfort and ease.   Washed well and did take a little while to dry but this was only due to the thickness. I loved the soft feel and how it made Alexander very relaxed. This is a great product and very good value for money. Easy, comfortable, simple to use and very good quality. The design we liked very much all the way down to the final touches was very good quality. 100% I would buy this as it is a great product. I will defiantly be getting another I hope they have bigger sizes to keep him warm when he is aged 1-2. I would 100% recommend this product my sister is having a baby later this year and she is also going to get one of these depending on the gender she will the choose her colour. This is my honest opinion I never give anything full marks but this product has been really great in the cold months I just wish we got one sooner or even for our other girls. Great product. This is good quality, soft feel, comfortable, easy to use, special touch with a personal hand written note inside and kept Alexander warm.  Lydia Kerr – Alexander 10 Weeks
