The bug has a space for little legs and the elastic round the ankles stops the baby kicking them off. The middle section is a wrap over though, meaning a sleeping baby can be unwrapped with having to fiddle too much or wake them up. Perfect if you are coming in from the cold outdoors and they are fast asleep.
The separate leg holes mean that the bug in a rug is so versatile. It can be used in an infant car-seat, in a carry-cot or pushchair and even in a sling, unlike a blanket, and the micro fleece material means it is lovely and warm.
We have been testing the pale blue version on our newest addition and he seems to like it! I often wear him in a wrap and a snow suit is not practical so this is the perfect alternative for us. I love it in the carry-cot too as I find Archie can get too hot in a full on snow suit with the apron on as it tends to trap in the warm air. The Bug in a Rug is the perfect thickness and allows him to have a kick around as we travel. The Bug folds up so small, that it easily slots into the nappy bag if we are planning on staying out later and don't trust the Great British weather.
I did find that the crossover body section didn't keep Archie's arms in as much as I would have liked, but I am not sure if this is him getting to the end of the size or not. I would love to see the velcro coming furthur round the body so I could wrap it slightly tighter and keep his arms wrapped up too.
We are really enjoying using the bug in a rug and it is perfect for our little man as he is often in the pram for part of the day and in the sling for the rest, so it gives us more versatility than a blanket without compromising on his warmth.
Baby Rug not only sell warm winter wraps, but also light cotton wraps, perfect for protecting a little baby's skin from the sunshine, whilst keeping them cool - much easier than rubbing in sunscreen every 30 minutes! I have one of the gorgeous summer wraps to give away to a reader and entry couldn't be simpler, just follow the instructions on the rafflecopter below!
