The Ollie World is a small biz based in Rancho Cucamonga, California, founded by a foster mom, who wanted to make her own swaddle that could meet all of her foster son's needs.

Promising review: "Highly recommend this swaddle. Easy to use and doesn't constrain baby's shoulders the way some others do. Can also be used to swaddle with either arm out, or with both arms out as baby transitions to wearable blankets. We love it! Wish we had it from day one." —Adrenaline S.

"Ok, here it is...STOP reading reviews right now (well, after you finish reading this one!) and go ahead and BUY this swaddle!! Let me tell you, I found out about this swaddle when my baby was 6 weeks old. I took an online sleep-training for babies class and the instructor highly recommended this product in her class. I came to Amazon to buy it immediately but the price tag of $65 stopped me. I refused to buy a swaddle that was that expensive so I moved on and looked for other options. I ended up buying three other different types of swaddles that were cheaper but did not work (my baby got his hands out of ALL them and woke himself up in the middle of the night every time). So after four weeks of buying swaddles, trying them out, then returning them because they didn't work out, I finally gave in and bought the Ollie Swaddle for $65 hoping it would be worth it. And YESSSS, it works!!! It is the ONLY Swaddle my baby cannot get his arms out of!! The only regret I have is not buying this sooner!! I found out about it when my baby was 6 weeks old and didn't buy it till he was 10 weeks old because I was afraid of spending that much on a piece of cloth with velcro on it but omg, I wish I had bought it sooner. This is the HOLY GRAIL of swaddles!! I love love love it. So easy to use and so soft but strong at the same time. This is GENIUS!! Buy it now please!! It will help your baby sleep SO MUCH BETTER :)" —AnileyR
