The Snug Around from Anaya Papaya Review {Giveaway Closed}

Anaya papaya has developed a perfect product for most strollers and baby wearing devices to help keep baby warm without having them get all dressed up, or worrying about a blankie getting knocked to the ground.Anaya Papaya Logo I am by no means a “baby wearer”, but I do keep my Baby Bjorn handy for carrying Ethan around wherever we might be out.  Ethan really dislikes being in the car seat for too long, so if I know I’m going to be in one location for long enough, I put him in the Bjorn.   
Snug Around 03Living in Minne’snow’ta and having winter babies, I have often found myself carrying my kids in the Bjorn in the winter months or in other cold climates like the Grocery store (my most frequent usage of the Bjorn) and the first MN Wild Hockey game Andrew went to when he was two months old.

I have attempted to cover my kids with blankets while having them exposed to the coldness of the dairy section at the grocery store; but it has been pretty pathetic.  The blankets don’t stay, and you’re constantly adjusting them to cover baby.
When I saw this cover for the carriers and strollers, I had to contact them right away – because I knew that we were moving and Ethan started to totally refuse bottles all together, meaning I was going to be wearing Ethan during our move – or get no work/directing moving traffic accomplished.
Unfortunately I didn’t have someone snap a picture of me standing in the garage with Ethan strapped to me and the snug around on while we were moving because I felt like we needed to hurry and get back inside asap! February 2011 213 The Snug Around is so simple to use.  It comes in a small baggie that you can keep with the baby Carrier, or dangle it with your stroller, or keep in your trunk.  You unroll it, stick the elastic strap around your neck or tie it to the sides; tuck the Snug Around around their feet, and then adjust the straps on the side to fit more snug around your child! It takes literally about 10 seconds to get properly adjusted.  February 2011 219The thing I’m really excited for is this spring when the weather starts warming up enough for Andrew and I to start going on walks around the neighborhood.  I’ll have Ethan in a stroller or the carrier, but won’t have to worry about those chilly breezes affecting him at all!Snug Around 04I’m excited about having the Snug Around and I’ve been putting it to good use already, and don’t see myself being able to put away this handy product any time soon!
