I live in Utah and am active in the outdoors all year-round. My husband and I will frequently use the Arctic BundleMe in our BOB jogging stroller when we run and when we pull our baby behind us during snowshoeing excursions. Our baby is so warm and snuggly inside. More often than not, she falls asleep inside.

When going to the JJ Cole website when this first came out, I didn't find specific enough specs on it. When I emailed the manufacturer they said, "The Arctic BundleMe is like a snowsuit, while the Urban BundleMe (which we also have) is like a coat." When you use the Arctic BundleMe, you know your child will be warm from the winter elements.

The inside is a soft fleece while the outside is a very thick, durable canvassy-feeling material. There's a vent you can zip open to help regulate air. There's also a little pocket on the bottom front.

This is a great product and I highly recommend it if you live anywhere where it's cold and windy and you need to keep your baby/toddler warm.

I am perplexed by the way that this cover fits over my baby it seems to always leave his shoulders and neck exposed no matter how we position it. It certainly keeps his bottom half toasty, but we can't figure out what to do with his shoulders because if we put a warm sweater on him, he gets too hot from his armpits down! Another thing to keep in mind since it is SO warm, the baby can really only wear light clothes underneath it. This is a problem if you are in the car and want to transport the baby from the car to a store etc WITHOUT taking in the car seat, as you either have to carry the baby IN the Bundle Me (unwieldy option), or take the baby out and wrap him/her in a blanket or put on a snowsuit in the car to protect the baby until you get inside. Great idea, but not as all around useful as I'd hoped.

We purhased this bundle me for our 12 month old. We live in Burlington where it gets quite cold and windy. The Arctic bundle me works as described and keeps our son warm in very chilly weather despite not needing to wear a winter coat underneath. It is now very easy to transfer him from car seat to stroller without having to remove or out back on his winter coat. We have it attached to a Uppa Baby Vista stroller and it fits like it was custom made for it. It will also work on the G-Lite umbrella stroller if needed. We would highly recommend this product to anyone in need of a warm option to a bulky bunting or winter outfit/coat.

Honest reviews on JJ Cole Arctic Bundle Me

At first it was hard to justify spending twice as much on the Arctic Bundle Me as the Urban Bundle Me, but after a long New York City winter I've found it was worth it. I would argue that the Urban Bundle Me is more equivalent to a thin coat that covers half of the kid's torso and lower. This means that for most of the winter you have to put your kid in a coat even when you use the Urban Bundle Me. And it can't do much for constant winds. After wrapping your kid up in a coat, in the Urban Bundle Me, and finally getting them in the stroller, do you really want to have to wrestle on the plastic cover to keep out the winds too? The Arctic Bundle Me, however, is fantastic. With this on the coldest of days my kid is in a fleece, and just hops in. No extra coat needed. My tall three year old loves it as much as I do. She is quick to inform me whenever she feels cold, but it is never while she is in this. If she wishes, only her eyes can show while the rest of her is kept out of the cold and wind. Warm enough to nap. It fits my Phil and Ted stroller perfectly. It also fits the rear seat. It's heavy, but doesn't slide down the seat because of the way it's designed on top. I love that the zippers are stiff because on my Urban Bundle me the zippers now slide down a little by themselves. Or they come down easily if my kid is kicking. The zippers are suppose to be this stiff! If they slide down, all the warmth will escape. With this bunting bag my daughter can squirm around all she wants, and it never compromises her warmth.

I own the JJ Cole Arctic Bundle, Urban Bundle and the Original Bundle. I purchased the Arctic and Urban in toddler size and would highly recommend doing the same for the amount of money you want to get more than one winter out of the product. That being said my daughter is two and I started using these when she was one. For an infant probably you would have to go with the smaller ones. I use these with a Baby Trend Jogger and an Uppa Baby Vista. The Arctic has a better configuration for the Uppa Baby's sunshade that attaches to the top of the stroller. The Urban one is less stiff and works better on the jogger. Both are a good investment if you are going to be out regularly through the fall/winter months in cold climates. Last winter we used a combo of the Urban and a vinyl cover which my daughter was not thrilled about having the vinyl cover on--but was happy to be in the Urban bundle. If using the Arctic and if the wind isn't bad she is comfortable as low as 25 degrees, but will pull the front cover up. I agree with the reviewer who compared the Arctic to a snow suit and the Urban to a coat. The only draw back so far has been the zippers are little tough on the Arctic but I think with time they will loosen up. From time of purchase I have received at least ten compliments on the looks and six others asked where I purchased, it looks as good as it works and it works as good as it looks!
