The Wrapeaze Review

Written By Staff Reviewer: Virginia

My daughter is always cold.  At home, out and about, you name it, and she freezes and always wants a jacket. While I don’t MIND if she wears a jacket, they can be a pain when we are out running errands since she is still in a five point harness seat belt.  As I’m sure you know, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration recommends against putting a child in a car seat with a jacket on.   If you have young children, you can imagine the process we go through when we need to go out…  Before we can go to the van, she dons her jacket.  Get in the van, take it off and get in her carseat.  Cover up in said carseat with her jacket, or with a blanket that we keep in the van.  Reach our destination, she dons her jacket again and put the blanket away.  Rinse, repeat.  If we have several stops on our route, like on errand Thursday, it can become quite tedious.

When I heard of the Wrapeaze, I thought it would be PERFECT. She could put it on before we go to the van, keep it on, and eliminate several steps in the process.

The Wrapeaze is made of 100% polyester lightweight fleece, so it is super soft and super warm.  In fact, when we received it, I was impressed with the softness of it and wanted to keep it for myself.

Features

• simple velcro closure
• loose fitting poncho style
• many colors to choose from

Sizes

• Xtra Small: 12″ (0-24months)
• Small: 17″ (2-6yrs)
• Medium: 23″ (Tween)
• Large: 27″ (Adult)

Since it comes in an adult size, though, that won’t be necessary.

Sister was a bit alarmed when I put her in the carseat with the Wrapeaze on.  “Mommy, oooo has to take my jacket off!” she said.  She knows the rule!  I explained that the Wrapeaze is special.  I told her it can be worn under her seatbelt, like her shirt, and wouldn’t get in the way OR over her seatbelt, like a blanket, and still keep her warm.  She liked that idea, and decided to wear hers over her seatbelt.  No problem.

When we got to the grocery store, she loved that she could keep warm AND steer her side of the cart.  It makes errand days a lot easier.  Here’s the cool thing… because of the poncho style, this one Wrapeaze will last Sister several years!  I guarantee she doesn’t have a single jacket in her wardrobe that will last her more than one season.

As a nurse, I can see the benefit of the Wrapeaze as adaptive wear for individuals that require the use of a walker or wheelchair, or that are limited to use of only one arm/hand.  It would be great for those who have their arm in a sling, too.

We reviewed the Wrapeaze in a size Small in the Tossed Flower pattern with Rosette, which retails for $37.99.  The Wrapeaze is available in several solid colors, as well as prints, and even as a rain slicker.  Prices range from $34.99 (xtra small) to $44.99 (adult).  I do wish that the Wrapeaze was available in more prints, and that the adult size was available in the Tossed Flower pattern, as it would be cool to have matching ones.  Don’t need the full wrap?  Check out their hats!
