Always swaddle your baby in the Ollie with their shoulders out. That and the fact that this swaddle is made with lightweight polyester-spandex fabric can help keep your baby cooler in the summer or if you're in a warm climate, especially if you dress them in a short-sleeve bodysuit.

Unfolded, the Ollie is a blanket with three strong hook-and-loop closures. You lay your baby on the blanket, shoulders above blanket level, and pull and secure your baby's left side and then their right side, making use of the closures. Though functional, the closures make a loud ripping sound when you unswaddle, we found. Also, note that the Ollie is pricier than other options.

A big point of difference for this swaddle is that you secure the bottom with an included elastic band. Watching the instructional video from the brand can help you get it right, but home testers told us they found it easy and that the design is very adjustable, able to fit long and tall babies.
