In March, we won a baby bean bag for Wiggle.
Totlings asked me to do a review on it, but I would have done one anyway because we LOVE this "Snugglish." Ours is in Blue Meadows print, but it comes in several nice options.

I thought that I was going to have to give Wiggle some time to get used to hanging out and sleeping on the Snugglish, but he enjoyed it right away! One of our friends got one recently, too, and it is the only place her little guy will tolerate being that isn't "on the Mommy" (that's every baby's real favorite place!). While the Snugglish is a bean bag, it is not the super squishy kind that I had growing up; it is very supportive. I wish that I could get a mattress that felt like this because it is SO COMFY! The velvety top of the cover is so soft and dreamy. Seriously, I need a grown-up sized one!

As you can see, Wiggle is buckled into the Snugglish, so he can't go anywhere. Before we use it, I shake the stuffing up into the top and make sure that everything is shaped just so because everything will settle when you aren't using it (can't fight physics!). In addition to having a great place for wiggle to chill on, the Snugglish also has health benefits. According to Totling's website, it helps to prevent Plagiocephaly (aka flat head). Wiggle had started to get a flat spot, which I attribute to how much he likes to nap in his swing. The Snugglish helped us to correct that because it isn't a hard surface; it cradles and supports his head very nicely. Totlings also claim that the Snugglish helps with acid reflux and laryingomalacia (the softening of the tissues around the voice box). Since Wiggle doesn't have either of those problems, I cannot attest to how much it helps them. This seat is CPSIA certified with the standard consumer safety rating for children's chairs.

The Snugglish comes with two top covers-- one with the belt and one without. I was wondering where the second one was, so I went exploring! As you can see in the pictures, there is a white zipper around the top cover. It was very easy to get off once I realized that the zipper pull was attached to the top cover and not the base. Underneath it was the belt-less cover. I like this storage place! It makes sure that the other cover won't get lost! The bottom cover can zip off, too. Totlings takes the zipper pull off of that zipper, though, so that kids can't get into it and potentially eat the microbead stuffing. If you have a paperclip, you can insert that and use it to unzip. I didn't have one on hand, so there are not pictures of the inside-- sorry!

As you can see from my pictures, we have the Blue Meadows print. The color in my pictures is true and it is actually more teal than blue. It makes me happy because it's a bit more gender neutral, and I like teal... just sayin'. The material is all water resistant so that when they inevitable happens, it is easier to clean up. Totlings advises to just spot clean and line dry.
My only complaint about the Snugglish is that I wish there were buckles on both sides of the seat, instead of just one. It would make getting Wiggle in and out of the seat much easier. That's not a very big issue, though, and overall we really love this baby seat! Check out Totlings and order your own Snugglish at their website (
