Product Description
Parents may want to give their infants the Snuzzler for the luxurious comfort factor alone. But what will really make them happy is the fact that the award-winning Snuzzler provides gentle support for baby’s vulnerable head, neck, and back, keeping her stable and comfy in the car seat, stroller, swing, bike trailer, backpack, and bouncy seat. The plush terrycloth is reversible to smooth, woven fabric, so baby can sit in comfort and style any time of the year. The soft support cushions fit all harness systems, with no need to thread (and unthread) straps when transferring Snuzzler between seats.

The Snuzzler Is Different
Other support products do not actually support a baby’s head. Parents cringe at the sight of their sleeping baby’s head cocked practically at right angles to her body—the Snuzzler prevents the head flop, and keeps baby’s entire torso in the proper posture.

How It Works
Switching the Snuzzler between baby seats (car seat, stroller, bouncy seat, etc.) couldn’t be easier or more intuitive. Open-ended strap openings allow caregivers to drop the Snuzzler right into the seat, pull the harness straps through the openings, make sure the head support is set at the right height (adjust height with Velcro tabs), and there you have it. Ready for baby!

Crash Tested for Safety
If you’ve done your parenting homework, you know that adding fluffy, squishy things to your baby’s car seat can compromise her safety, as the harness straps may not fit as snugly as necessary with all the cushioning around baby. Have no fear, Kiddopotamus knows all about baby safety. Snuzzler has no padding behind baby for the safest harness fit. It has undergone rigorous crash tests by accredited United States agencies to ensure that it conforms to federal standards.

Snuzzler Grows with Baby
The clever head support element of the Snuzzler is detachable and adjustable (with Velcro tabs); as baby grows, the head support moves right along with her, unlike all-one-piece supports. The head support can also be used on its own.

Award-Winning Support
Among its accolades and parent kudos, the Snuzzler is also the recipient of several awards, including the 2005 Pregnancy Magazine Buyer’s Guide Award, the 2003 iParenting Media Award, and the 2003 iParenting "Hot Product" Award.

Machine Washable
What’s the point of baby gear if you can’t throw it in the laundry basket? Of course the Snuzzler is machine washable (cold water, gentle cycle. Line dry).--Emilie Coulter

No more slumping babe

The snuzzler does an excellent job keeping baby from slumping in seats and swings. It can be used with just about any kind of buckle/harness including 5 point, 3 point, and typical swing belts.

Despite information posted by other reviewers, I would like to note that this item is safe for use in car seats. It is designed so that the padding is to the side of the baby and NOT behind the baby. This is stated on the packaging: "Safe for use in all car seats, Snuzzler is specially designed with padding only on the sides of baby's head and body, not in back of baby, for proper harness fit." This meets the requirements of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration which states "Never place any extra cushioning under or behind your baby. This also prevents harness straps from being snug." The NHTSA also recommends using towels to support baby's head and neck, but the Snuzzler stays in place better because of its design and, therefore, in my opinion, would be safer to use than towels.

Also, the NHTSA recommends not putting jackets and heavy clothes on your baby in a carseat because this also prevents harness straps from fitting properly. The Snuzzler is designed with warm fabric on one side and a cooler feeling fabric on the other side to accomodate seasons, keeping baby warmer in colder temperatures and cooler in warmer temperatures, decreasing the need for bulky coats and clothing in the winter.
Comfort for newborns+! A must have. It IS safe.

If you look closely at the picture, the back of the Snuzzler - the part that goes behind baby's back & head is very thin. The sides are really what support the baby, much like rolling up blankets and placing beside baby in the car seat. There are openings for the straps of the safety harness so they are not hindered in any way.

I recommend this product 100%! It is awesome and has made things so much more comfy for our baby. He's 3 months now so we use the Snuzzler in his swing but we used it the first two months in his car seat. The support it provided stabilized his little body in a car seat that seemed to swallow him up.

I love that it is reversible so you can use the warm fleece side during the winter & the cotton side during the warmer seasons.

Trust me you'll love it! I'm so glad someone recommended it to me.

Never had a problem using in the car seat!

Of course they have to say not to use things in the car seat, to protect themselves from lawsuits! However, I never had a problem as this product is so well designed, and does not interfere with the car seat straps. The car seat straps tighten up to the proper level with no problem. It is much better than trying to prop the baby up with blankets or towels (which seems less safe to me as they can move around and possibly cover baby's face, this product cannot)! It makes a convertible car seat so much more usable for newborns, as there is so much extra space around a small baby. I would recommend this in an instant!
Not just for tiny babies...

Other reviewers mentioned that this is a must for smaller babies, but our daughter was nine pounds when she was born and she was so snug and comfy in her car seat with the Snuzzler. She is almost 15 pounds now and we are still using it.
Snuzzler provides the ultimate support and "hugs" the baby in all the right places, so the little one feels secure and comfortable. We also use one in the stroller - for extra padding. I like that it's adjustable and will grow with the baby, and the design allows it to be used virtually anywhere - in the car seat, stroller, swing, high chair - you name it! It may even be used as a sleep positioner in the crib to prevent the baby from rolling over.
We use our Snuzzler every day and it doesn't show any wear at all. It washes well (doesn't shrink, bunch, fade or pill) and may well serve more than one baby.
"Must-Have-"-even in hot weather

We live in Florida. It's almost July. Our newborn loves this thing. She is currently happier in her carseat with the snuzzler than anywhere. On one side is a cozy fleece--which would be great for cool weather, but not what we need. The reverse is a navy fabric, and it's plenty cozy. It supports her head, so her head is always upright, even on long tripsand it gently supports her back and arms. I rate this as a "must-have".
Great for infants!

I bought this before my daughter was born and we use it all the time! When we brought her home from the hosp. the carrier just swallowed her up. When we put the snuzzler in she fit perfectly. It's great support for infants, better than those head roll things for the neck. Now that she's bigger we don't use it in the car seat, but in the excersaucer for extra support and comfort. This is my favorite baby buy for $20 bucks!
Great for the running stroller
 
Review Date: February 28, 2007
Reviewer: Kristy A. Sketeris,
I was able to take my little one out in the running stroller at 7 weeks using the Snuzzler. I stuck to smooth bike paths until she was about 4 months, but her little head didn't budge when she was laying on this thing. In fact, I think she slept better in the running stroller w/ the Snuzzler than at home! The two sides are convenient b/c you can just flip it over depending on the kind of weather you're having: fleece side to keep her warm and the other to keep her cool when it's already warm out. By 4 months, she didn't need it in the car seat or swing anymore, but it still seems comfy for her in the running stroller even now at 5 months.
Best $20 I've Spent!

I initially got this product to use in our carseat. Instead, I've used it in our bouncer seat and swing. I've used the entire support pillow in the bouncer seat and detached the head support to use in the swing. The head support attaches to the body support with velcro so it's easy to remove and reattach. The Snuzzler cradles my newborn daughter and makes her bouncer seat so comfortable. She takes all of her daytime naps in this seat! The infant to toddler rocker reclines so the use of this pillow makes it very comfortable and womb-like. It has 2 sides - blue for warm weather and fleece for cold weather. I've put a pink blanket over the Snuzzler in her chair to take photos. The Snuzzler keeps her head from falling and I've made some great pictures. She's almost 2 months now and I can't imagine not having this product! We love it!
