I first thought that the packaging was well done. And presented beautifully in its box. It’s a great concept and definitely serves the purpose it was made for. Very straightforward to use. Easy to understand instructions and to apply practically. I found this very easy to use. The handles are indeed very sturdy and I enjoyed swinging my child in this Snugglebundl.  It’s multipurpose uses were of great benefit. The Snugglebundl was easy for me to place my child safely inside. The head support was great and I felt relaxed. I did find it easy to transfer baby. It was comforting for me to know that my child is not getting disturbed while I move them places. My baby was both safe and comfortable in the Snugglebundl. This is definitely great to use as a rocker. It has strong handles, amazing strong fabric used to gently swing my child. I have not had a caesarean but I can see that it may be useful. I did struggle a little though when I had to pick up my child from their cot or from the floor when she was playing. I felt a strain in my upper back as I was lifting my daughter. This is what I used the Snugglebundl for the most. Transferring from the car seat and in to the house. Worked a breeze. I was quite anxious in the beginning but I was delighted when my daughter slept through all the transfers from out of the car to getting in to the car. I used this and still use it as a playmat. It’s not too thin so it’s nice to be able to put baby on her back to play on. I did not use this as a breastfeeding cover because I didn’t feel there was enough coverage for me. My daughter doesn’t keep her hands still during feeds so I would have struggled quite a bit setting this on myself.  I have used this Snugglebundl continuously. Since the children have gone back to school it has helped me transfer baby into car, for shopping and at home for playtime. I have used it as its multipurpose functions. This has been used the most for when travelling in the car for school runs and shopping trips. This washed really well not difficulty. I love how it  can be used for so many different things. I believe this is definitely value for money, considering the material used and the design structure. Quality is A*. Absolutely brilliant and strong. Made to last!! After having tested this product I would definitely consider buying this as a gift for a new mum. It’s definitely worth every penny. I would definitely recommend this product to friends and family because it’s a must have product in every household for a new baby. 5/5 overall product mark. Lives up to its name and definitely has all its uses. It’s a fantastic product and amazingly made and thought out. I have thoroughly enjoyed using this Snugglebundl as has my baby. Not having her naps disturbed is an added bonus as it can be exhausting trying to put a baby to sleep when they are very unsettled.  The Snugglebundl has been used for tummy time, playtime, swinging and rocking, going out to do school runs and for going shopping. It’s definitely multipurpose and has been well thought out by its design and use of materials. Rafia Mohammed – Halima 5 Months

Tidy packaging – professional looking item. I like the idea – it seemed to be very versatile and useful. Clear and easy to follow – the pictures that accompanied the instructions were very useful and gave extra reassurance that I’d not made a mistake when following the written instructions. Very easy to use once I’d remembered which way the handles secured when wrapping the baby. The headrest made it very easy to see where the baby should be placed. No issues with placing baby in this and transfer to pram, cot, car without disturbing him  – it felt a bit strange at first – but once I had done it successfully one time, I was confident that there would be no issues. We used the item in the car seat and pram – he was comfortable and warm – no issues here at all. I didn’t use this to rock him to sleep – my baby prefer to be nursed (and I’m enjoying having to do that for the moment!). I did have a c-section, the worst pain was over by the time this item turned up – but I would recommend this to others who have a caesarean – I would have loved to have had this soon after birth. This was what we used the item for the most. As with most babies – he’s usually sleeping after being in the car – and taking him out of his seat usually woke him up. This item got rid of that issue completely. I did not use this as a play mat.  If I were going to, I would prefer that there was some waterproof material to protect the carrier. I did not use this as a breastfeeding cover. I would use this 2-3 times each week. Mostly used in the car seat and pram. I washed the item before use, following the instructions and feel that the item shrunk a bit. I loved being able to move from car seat without disturbing baby.  Definitely good value.  Good quality material – only marked down as I feel it shrank a bit after first wash. I would buy this as I found it useful.  I would recommend as good product and is actually useful. Useful product that I would recommend to others. I feel it would have been massively useful to me when I was in hospital alone after the birth following a c-section – it might be worth contacting hospital wards to see if they could use these there. Overall a really positive experience – I would be more likely to use as a playmat if there was a waterproof insert to protect from baby drool. Laura Jones – Zak 7 Weeks

It was packaged nicely in a box showing images of the item being used and with instructions and the actual item itself looked well-made and of a good quality. It’s one of those ideas where you think ‘why didn’t somebody think of this before?’.  It’s a nice way to get baby from car to the home without having to disturb them and without having to carry car seat.  This would have been especially great when we had Joseph (now 2.5 years) and lived in an apartment.  I routinely had to carry baby and car seat right through the building (as the parking was far from our front door) so this would have saved on weight, as I could have just transported him in the Snugglebundl. The item itself is straightforward enough to work out so the instructions were there more as a guide and to show you the different ways you could use the item.  I actually find the photos of the product in use on the box most helpful in working out what you could do with it. This was very easy to use and I felt like baby was secure as the item is clearly well made and the handles seem well able to take the weight of baby. No problem placing my baby in this as it’s the right size for baby and uncomplicated design. Once Eva was in this very easy to transfer her to pram or car seat without disturbing her.  Eva Christina is a light sleeper and this made it easier to not disturb her! She has slept in this several times so is clearly comfortable and I am happy that she’s safe in it. I’m not too sure about this one as Eva Christina did have colic but seemed to get more relief from being upright so I tended to just hold her against my chest for this. We did try rocking her in it for the purpose of the review, when she was already peaceful, and she seemed happy. Luckily I did not have a caesarean or suffer with back pain by the time I goth this item, but I can see how a tool like this would be useful. We have used to get baby from car to house and she has stayed asleep! This obviously also saves your back as you’re not lifting car seat. I can see this being useful as play mat when baby is younger but Eva Christina just rolls/crawls off now as soon as she can free herself! I did not breastfeed so did not use this as breastfeeding cover. I used this daily at first and now mainly just to transfer in and out of car seat on colder days. I used daily as a cover/wrap in the Moses basket at first but now baby is bigger, I’m mainly just using for the car seat. I haven’t washed this in the machine yet but I can’t see there being any problems due to the material. I loved the soft material and its multi uses. The price seems fair. I’m happy to pay £20 plus for nice blankets and this has lots of extra functions so seems worth it. Nice quality material and was packaged nicely so this seems like a quality item. I would say yes I would buy this, especially for a new born. I am using less now Eva Christina is not sleeping in the Moses basket as much but it’s still great as a car seat smuggler especially now the weather is getting colder. I would recommend this as it would save lots of carrying of car seats! I perhaps didn’t get every single use out of it (e.g. Play mat, breast feeding cover) but think it’s a nice item for the things I used it for. This is a quality product that would make a useful gift for someone With a newborn. It’s easy to work out how to use and looks and feels nice. It’s purpose of being able to transport baby without  disturbing them certainly worked for us. Laura Dolan – Eva Christina 6 Months
