The sport doubles kit has zips so it can recline slightly. Found it on sale at mothercare for less than $20 (50 AED) Rating: 3 / 5 I ordered this one by mistake.

Smith Fri, 28 May 2010 21:56:54 +0000 http://strollertwins.com/jj-cole-bundle-me-lite-petal#comment-763 This product is wonderful. It kept my little one very warm in the winter. There is enough room for him to move his legs around in it, which ultimately gives him the freedom that he wants. It can be pulled to just under their neck, leaving his head free to look around and see what is going on around him. I highly recommend this to those parents who are looking for something to keep their child warm. Rating: 5 / 5 This product is wonderful. It kept my little one very warm in the winter.

Gardner Fri, 28 May 2010 20:17:35 +0000 http://strollertwins.com/jj-cole-bundle-me-lite-petal#comment-762 This is by far one of the best items I have purchased for my daughter. We live in Texas, where it is not too terribly cold, but does on occassion. I leave it attached to her car seat all the time. If it is too warm, I simply unzip the top section. It seems very thin, but the lining is quite warm. On occassion, I have thought, there is no way she is warm enough, but I unzip her, and she is toasty warm. <br />The only downside is that while it zips up the sides, her shoulders are still exposed so you may still need to pull the flap up if walking outside but when she is awake and waving her arms around, she sometimes will pull it down off of herself. I tried the one that allows just their head to show through, thinking it would help with that problem, but when they turn their face side to side, her face is buried and you can't see them. Returned it immediately. Kept the Bundle Me Lite, love it, love it, love it!!! Rating: 5 / 5 This is by far one of the best items I have purchased for my daughter.

If you are taking the baby out for a stroll in an arctic snow, maybe you would need the heavier weight one. We live in Michigan and our lil Rose Bud stays quite toasty in this and I would worry about her overheating if we got the original one. It is quite easy to install on our Britax infant seat, and I as a dad like the simplicity and lack of need for tucking a blanket in with her. I am not a fashionista, but the sassy pink looks just fine and was a good deal at the lower price for this color. It doesn't match the Cowmooflauge baby seat, but it isn't overbearing or neon.

Seewald Fri, 28 May 2010 16:51:04 +0000 http://strollertwins.com/jj-cole-bundle-me-lite-petal#comment-760 I live in Michigan where the weather can vary wildly from day to day. I am sooo glad I got this Bundle me lite! It is not at all heavy like the original bundle me but is extremely soft on the inside and a windbreaker type material on the outside. I ordered the Stone and was a bit worried that it looked like it had a bluish tint on my screen but it is definitely a grey with no hint of blue whatsoever. It fits my Graco Snugride carseat perfectly. Very Pleased! Rating: 5 / 5 I live in Michigan where the weather can vary wildly from day to day. I am sooo glad I got this Bundle me lite!

Werner Fri, 28 May 2010 15:22:56 +0000 http://strollertwins.com/jj-cole-bundle-me-lite-petal#comment-759 This is a great cover for a baby carrier. I have a Graco car seat and it fits great - with holes for each of the straps and the clip. It does not get in the way or change how the seat works at all! The outer coating is water-resistant and works better than a blanket. The two side zippers are large and easy to use. They are placed so the baby doesn't touch them at all, yet are convienent for mommy to use. The blanket on a "Lite" is thin and works great for fall/spring or a light winter (no colder than 40 degrees) - wouldn't recommend it for freezing cold areas for winter get the other "bundle me". The green in the picture is accurate and nicely bright and hasn't faded. Rating: 5 / 5 This is a great cover for a baby carrier.

I thought this was the infant insert....but definately not helpful for that! It does provide a more comfortable lining to the interior of the stroller.

My stroller is made of fabric that is all scratchy against my sons skin. This liner helps to cushion him from the stroller and does not get in the way of the straps. I was unsure that it would stay in place at first, but then realized that the actual 5 strap harness kept it in place. Now he does not struggle against me when we go out for a walk, but snuggles into his stroller and enjoys the ride! Lovely product. Rating: 5 / 5 I think that this liner is a wonderful idea.
