Will this keep the baby warm in sub-zero temperatures - how warmly does the baby need to be dressed underneath? We're in Boston.

We live near Pittsburgh, PA. It gets cold very cold here some times in the single digits. When I used it for my granddaughter I never put anything underneath it, just the clothes she was wearing. I loved this for my granddaughter. I think you would be fine and wouldn't be disappointed in your purchase. If you are out for long periods of times like taking a walk ... I think you would need something else, but just going from your house to your car or your care into stores or taking to sitters you will be fine or even walking a few blocks. It is very warm inside.

We live in South Texas and our child was born at the beginning of August (so, it was like 13-110). We just put him in it without anything else on, and he was happy as can be! He runs pretty hot too. Even in the winter we had him in just a onesie with the blanket on.

It's fine for summer without the cover - but obviously baby is going to be a little bit warmer being so close to you so be mindful of not putting too much clothing on them. We're in Australia so the summers are very hot and humid.

Depends on climate. It is a cotton knit of medium thickness, which is currently used in the winter with fairly warm temp in the room. Will probably still use this in the summer since baby may be used to having it as night cover and I'm guessing it won't be too warm for her.

I use it year round- its a light cotton. I live in CT and keep my house at 67 degrees at night. I make sure my baby always wears long sleeves and pants to bed- this adds a touch of warmth. My feeling is fleece is too warm since it doesn't breathe but I think many use fleece in winter. I prefer a light "blanket" type covering so baby doesn't overheat.

Well I live in Seattle, so the temp hasn't gotten too high here- 60s- but we haven't had any problems with overheating. I probably wouldn't use it during the summertime unless you have air conditioning going- I keep their rooms between 68-70 and they're fine. I just put him in light cotton pjs-(carters 2piece pjs) and socks. I have noticed that the polyester type 2piece pjs seem to keep him on the warmer side, so intend not to put socks with those or only use those on colder nights. As it gets warmer I'll use it with just at shirt or onesie underneath. But once summer hits, I either switch to the thin cotton sleep sack or just put them to bed in their pjs. So it probably depends how hot it is where you live and how warm you keep your house but my son doesn't get overheated if his room is kept between that 65-70 mark. Hope that's helpful :)

That would probably be too warm. We sleep in cooler temps in our house (around 66F). The cotton blanket is thinner and would be better at those temps. I put my son in the cotton blanket during naps and the fleece at night.

I live in the Pacific Northwest... not too cold, but LOTS of rain. It is made out of water repellent canvas (not rubber)and quilted material underneath, so unlike the former respondent... I'd say, "Yes, it IS breathable", or it'd be WAY to warm to wear in our mild winters. I like this coat, and bought a second one so the first one can dry out on rainy days.

We live up in CT and we use it daily with another heavy blanket over the baby when the temps are in the teens & single digits. I would say it is perfect on its own (depending how you dress the baby) anywhere from 40's down to high 20's. If it is above 50 degrees or so, the baby may be too warm.

Bring an extra blanket if using outside. I only used it indoors and it always keeps me warm. Never used it in extreme cold.

I have 3 month old twins and used with my 3 and 4 yr old in chgo and put them in those fleece one piece jackets during colder temps and they were always warm. The sleepinh bag styles are reported not to be safe in an accident.

Not sure I understand the question. As I understand it,it is worn under parka or shell jacket not zipped to it. I wear mine under a EMS shell jacket and I've not been cold even in the crazy cold weather we're having in Ma. Hope that helped.

I don't think so, at least not any hotter then a stroller, bed or any other place you would put an infant. It has a very soft cover, and my grandson also had a head and side support insert because he's so small. He seemed very comfortable in it when it was 85+ degrees with no air conditioning.

Doubtfully. The bottom of the bed is made of plastic (poor conductor of heat), it's filled with air (even poorer conductor of heat) and the top part of the mattress has a felt-like material on it. Also, with a fitted sheet on top of that I think there is plenty of isolation from a tile floor and your kid should be OK. I'd still recommend a blanket if you think the ambient temperature is going to be cool.

No, you can't cover his belly with water - the headrest isn't elevated enough for that. I was never worried about my baby being cold though. Bath time was quick because he has dry skin. Now he's 9 months old and we still use this bather. He sits on it, instead of sitting directly in the tub. Hope this helps!

This thing holds in heat fairly well, so you won't need to wrap the baby up in blankets when it is warm out. Truthfully, the main temperature problem is you. You will heat your baby up, because they will be right up against your body. We found that was sometimes a little too much warmth for extended trips when baby was 1 month old, but even at 3 months it is no longer a problem.
