\u00a0With the new Snug\u00b2 there are no more excuses. \u00a0If you have a great running stroller, now you have something that keeps your little ones warmer than ever!<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Developed by parents who saw a need, the Snug\u00b2 bunting really hit the mark in performance baby gear. \u00a0At Snug Science, their \u201cdream is to inspire a healthy and active family life which they have termed Parenthlete\u2122 lifestyle.\u201d \u00a0This great bunting makes it possible to take your family out in the cold, without getting a cold. \u00a0Filling a gap in performance wear by adding performance fabrics and insulation to a baby bunting is a great start. \u00a0We as parents of three have always worried about our children in our cold Salt Lake City winters. \u00a0We are fortunate enough to have performance wear for ourselves, but our children are a different story.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"float: left; margin: 5px;\" alt=\"snug_hayjac\" height=\"293\" width=\"400\" src=\"images\/stories\/snug_hayjac.jpg\" \/>As a mother, because I worry, I tend to go out in my cheap winter coat when I am with my children. \u00a0It helps me to gauge whether they are getting cold or not. \u00a0I find when I am in my performance wear I can last for hours, while they are frozen after a few minutes. \u00a0Not the case with the Snug\u00b2. \u00a0I took my 8 month old and my two year old out on several occasions in the cold (30 degrees) for a run. \u00a0This bunting was amazing. \u00a0With the PrimLoft\u00ae technology, my baby stayed so warm he fell asleep and slept like he was in his crib. \u00a0When I pulled him out of the bunting, he felt so warm that I hugged him tight to glean some of the warmth from him.<\/p>\n<p>This bunting has several noteworthy features. \u00a0Most importantly, it is machine washable! \u00a0Parents of any children know that they tend to get messy, and this is no problem with this bunting. \u00a0Lined with nylon, this bunting can be wiped clean on the go, as opposed to other fleece lined buntings where the mess stays there until you get it washed. \u00a0It is adjustable; the bottom of the bunting has three stages of zippers to close the bottom for a better cozy fit. \u00a0 My 5 year old fits into the bunting at the fully open stage, but just barely. \u00a0My three year old is the perfect size, but she is the size of your average 4 year old. \u00a0The bunting is designed to fit babies to age four and I think they got the fit just right. \u00a0My baby fits \u201csnug\u201d as a bug in a rug, as the saying goes.<\/p>\n<p>Other great features are that the zipper on the front is a covered zipper with Velcro tabs to keep the zipper covered for better warmth. \u00a0There is faux fur on the hood that looks great and performs great in the wind and cold, but is also removable if it bugs you to have fur around your face (like my children). \u00a0 The bunting fits into most strollers (I\u2019ve tried 4 and it fits all of them) and the openings for the stroller straps are also as covered as possible to minimize heat loss. \u00a0It has arms which is atypical of baby buntings. \u00a0My 3 year old loves that she can stretch out, but you can also synch the hand holes closed for your baby.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"float: right; margin: 5px;\" alt=\"snug_inside\" height=\"321\" width=\"300\" src=\"images\/stories\/snug_inside.jpg\" \/>Overall, I would recommend this bunting for any \u201cParenthlete\u2122\u201d that is as concerned for their children\u2019s comfort as they are for their own. \u00a0The performance technology that you enjoy as a parent is just as important for your children and this bunting is a great start. \u00a0Check out the bunting at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.snugscience.com\/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=608819464510\">SnugScience.com<\/a>. \u00a0Spring sales are on now and you can save $50 through the month of May, (that\u2019s $199 for a $250 bunting!) with free ground shipping anywhere in the USA!
