I have a Maclaren and considered buying the Maclaren muff, but wanted something that would also fit our Schwinn jogging stroller. We live in Chicago, winter is upon us, and my son was kicking off his stroller blankets. The JJCole toddler Bundle Me looked short in photos and some reviews also noted that toddlers grew out of it quickly. Our 16mo is tall--34", so we needed something long enough. The fleece inside is not the softest in the world, but it's fairly nice and I figure with multiple washings it will get better. Easy to switch from stroller to stroller and washes well. Would recommend to my friends who are parents. Could also be used on a car seat.

I took my daughter to a local chain baby store to check out the JJ Cole Bundle Me in the toddler size. My daughter is small for her age (2.5) and there's no way she would have fit in there. I frantically searched online and couldn't find anything long enough (she has special needs and pulls off her shoes and socks not ideal for winter jogs! I needed something that I could zip her in). I contacted a local stroller strides and another mom recommended the Nomie Baby. I emailed the company and asked for the length and got a prompt reply (39.5" long). I ordered it and it shipped right away, arriving much sooner than I expected.

This stroller blanket is JUST what I wanted. It's fairly lightweight, with enough room inside for me to put another blanket on her if needed. Easy to put into the stroller, very well made, and I love the colors.

I bought this after returning a 7AM 212 with a broken zipper that lasted 4 months. So I definitely appreciated the lower price. As some have mentioned, the downside of this blanket is that it doesn't come up that far on the child so that the shoulder area is exposed. So it is necessary to put jacket on before using this. It's so loose at the top that even when zippered all the way up, my son would simply kick his legs out of it so we'd be walking around nyc with his exposed legs out in the cold. If you child is a bit older and is not going to resist being under a blanket, this is fine for a not too cold day (with a jacket). But if you need to be able to zip up a toddler or infant and expect them not to be able to get the blanket off, this is not for you.

Honest reviews on Nomie Baby Cozy Stroller Blanket

I live in Michigan, I have a 16 month old daughter who has some gross motor skills delays, so she's in the stroller more than probably most toddlers her age. We are entering into the winter months in Michigan, having to take my daughter to various physical therapy appts, in and out of the car, in and out of appts, etc. Normally I would do all of my grocery shopping in the winter months without daughter so I don't have to expose her to the cooler weather to help minimize exposure to illnesses, etc. Well with therapy my daughter has to go out into the colder elements, so I picked up this blanket gearing up for the colder weather. Before the blanket bag, I was using pillow case (doubled up) to cover her legs. That strategy worked well in the spring during walks, etc. But I'm sure it's still drafty for the rest of her body.

I recived the blanket last week. Washed it in the machine. I wasn't sure how thick and bulky the blanket would be I was happy to see that it wasn't too bulky. Installed it in the stroller over the weekend. Super easy installation, didn't need to read directions or anything. We have the 2011 Peg Perego Velo Stroller. Seemed to fit perfectly, width was great, length was all the way down to the front wheels, so longer than I expected. thrilled about that! My daughter is pretty much 100 percentile on the height chart (she was 33" at her 15 month well-visit), so didn't know how quickly she'd grow out of it.

My hope is that I would just keep the blanket fastened in the stroller all winter, not have to take it out each time I used the stroller. Thrilled that the blanket is thin enough that I can just fold the foot part up into the seat area and the stroller folds up with no problem. We had an unusually warm weekend and I took my daughter out to run an errand. Had no idea what I would do with the stroller because I figured I would have to take the blanket bag out or have her wear the banket bad in 65 degree weather... To my surprise the way the zippers on the sides work when I opened the zippers on both sides they actually allowed me to remove the top blanket piece. So my daughter sat in the stroller with the nice cozy fleece layer on her back and back side, but didn't have the blanket on top of her. It was perfect! Mom didn't have to worry about daughter getting too hot, nor did I have to remove the blanket bag from the stroller. An added bonus, for the brief 2 minutes that my daughter got to use the blanket as it's intended, she had smiles ear to ear, she loved the feel of the blanket, probably liked the purple lining.

I'll provide an update once I use the product more this winter, but so far it's a winner!

I went back and forth on my decision about a new stroller blanket, so thought I'd share a comparison in case anyone else is trying to choose between the JJ Cole and this one. The pros of the Nomie are that it is indeed very soft and cozy, looks great and seems like it would be easy to clean, and seems well-made. But ultimately, next to the JJ Cole Urban Bundle Me, it's a bit thin -probably fine for a climate warmer than the chilly Northeast! While I haven't been too impressed with the quality of the JJ Cole (had to re-sew a strap already), the blanket itself is so thick and soft I'm a tiny bit jealous of my daughter for being able to fit in it :)

As for length, my daughter is average height for her age (2.5), and I didn't notice an appreciable difference between her fitting in the JJ Cole and this one -in fact, I think she'll be able to fit into the Bundle Me for another year if it holds up.

Anyway, if I could afford it I'd probably keep this product for the coming spring, when the Bundle Me will be too warm!
