 Too small and don't wash well September 2, 2005

I agree with others that these are too small for swaddling. The other problem is that after the first washing they look like they've been washed 100 times. They get little "pulls" all over and look horrible.
 Too small to swaddle September 1, 2005

These blankets are Ok unless you want to use them to swaddle a baby - which was what I thought "receiving blankets" were supposed to be used for.
ave. quality, not for swaddling June 1, 2005

My baby came out 10lbs so by the 2nd week, his feet came out the blankets and I could no longer swaddle him. So I went back bought the 2- 3 pack 40"x30" blankets since they were the biggest available. One was Koala blankets which were cheaper than the Carter one. The colors of the Koala blankets were much better than the Carter ones but the Carter blankets were a little bit thicker. Both brand can swaddle my big baby.
As for these blankets, well I used them for burp cloth, to cover the car seat etc. They are still useful but the quality isn't as great. After 10 washes in a month, a few blankets are showing signs of falling apart already. Luckily I bought triple amount of blankets that the new born list recommended.

After the first washing, two of the five blankets fell apart. I registered and received both the blue and green receiving blankets and returned them both. I originally chose these because the patterns were so cute but the poor quality isn't worth keeping them. I wouldn't buy them.

I chose these blankets for the very cute pattern assortment to make a cover for my changing table pad. When I openned the package at home I discovered that while they are supposed to be 30"x30" they are really smaller than that. Too small to use for my intended purpose. I have not washed them yet so I don't know if they shrink or how they hold up. They seem a little thinner than other receiving blankets that I have used with my 3 older children.
Here I am 1 year later. The blankets have held up in the wash very well and become softer with each washing. Although I did not use them for swaddling, I used a similar set of flannel blankets. The thinness that I complained about actually is a benefit when you are swaddling a baby in hotter weather. A too thick blanket leaves you with a hot and sweaty baby. I didn't swaddle my older kids (it wasn't in vogue 12 years ago), so I didn't know. The only way we got this one to sleep was to swaddle him very tightly.
