Finally, a fashion trend that provides warmth, comfort, and style for your baby.
In recent years, Australian wool boots have warmed our feet. Now, the same
Australian wool can keep our babies snug while in their strollers, protected
from the cold winter elements. Protect-A-Bub introduces Snuggle Bub lambswool
stroller inserts, made from 100% Australian lambs wool. Unlike products made
from sherpa, an acrylic imitation wool, genuine lambswool keeps your baby
comfortable naturally. The Snuggle Bub is like a
baby bunting bag that attaches right to your jogger or stroller! And for
added protection, the outside of the Snuggle Bub is
water resistant.
The Snuggle Bub Australian lambswool stroller insert fits all strollers. All of
our Snuggle Bub lambswool inserts are machine washable.
Snuggle Wool Info
Medical
studies at Cambridge University have shown that lambswool pads have a soothing,
swaddling effect on babies, resulting in better sleep, reduced stress, greater
contentment and improved weight gain. Studies showing similar results have also
been reported in the BRITISH MEDICAL JOURNAL, LANCET, and THE AUSTRALIAN MEDICAL
JOURNAL. Researchers find when babies lay directly on lambswool, their activity
rate is lowered producing a deeper, more restful sleep and promoting a faster
growth rate. This is especially beneficial for premature and low birth-weight
babies. Hospitals in England, Australia, and New Zealand have used lambswool
pads to line their incubators for many years.
Wool has
become a year-round mainstream nursery item. In the summer babies stay cool and
dry when they are on wool because of natural air circulation through the fibers.
In addition, wool absorbs perspiration and moisture more than any other
material. Of course, wool also keeps babies warm in cool weather. Pure lambswool
soothes and comforts baby with a soft, swaddling effect, reduces stress and
restless movement, and promotes sleep. Wool fibers also limit the growth of
harmful bacteria and are naturally fire retardent. It's hard to get all of these
properties in one fiber!
What
is SnuggleWool ™ ?
SnuggleWool ™ is the trademark of the soft, pure, fleece pads which are
fully washable one-inch deep pile lambswool made by Rittenhouse Industries. The
wool, from the Merino sheep in Australia and New Zealand, is sliver-knit to a
polyester backing and processed to withstand gentle machine washing.
SnuggleWool ™ products are designed for the baby to lie directly on the
soft, deep pile lambswool.
SnuggleWool ™ pads are made from 100% pure, fine wool from the Merino
sheep in Australia and New Zealand that has been hygienically scoured and
treated to allow frequent machine washing and drying. The sliver knit fleece
retains all of the natural qualities of sheepskin (including absorption of
moisture vapor, softness and cushioning) without requiring that the animal give
its life.
Why
SnuggleWool™ vs. Sheep (Lamb) Skin?
More people
are choosing SnuggleWool ™ products over lambskins for the
following reasons:
-
Increasingly high cost of skins.
- Difficulty of washing and slow drying of the skin.
- The need to slaughter the animal to get the skin.
- Available in many sizes blankets reverse to 100% cotton fabric.
