Bundleme

This cozy sack is a must have for fall and winter walking. Made by JJ Cole, the Bundleme comes in a variety of fabric weights and colors and it's compatible with most car seats, strollers and joggers.

I just bought the Urban for our Bob stroller, because it's outer shell is rain and wind proof and the inside is a soft and cozy fleece!
