Christina Kosteas, Chief Executive Officer, Designer and Co-founder of T&C; Innovators, Inc which makes Warm as a Lamb dropped us a note to provide her perspective on ReviewDads criticisms. Ever committed to thorough testing, Noodad Test Labs put Christinas suggestions to the test. Follows are her points and ReviewDads responses:

First concern regarding difficultly accessing the seat-back adjustment controls

CK Instead of going under the cover, you should just open the snaps in the back and just reach for the back adjustment control. This will eliminate the need to lift the cover in the back or open the front zipper area letting that cold air get in.

RD This may be possible on some stroller models however, on the two test strollers (Zooper Waltz and Mountain Buggy Urban Single) which both have one piece handlebars, the fit was too snug to allow for practical access to back controlsespecially when wearing any kind of winter coat. On strollers with joystick-style handles, this [U]may[/U] be a realistic solution.

Second concern regarding observation that actual fit may be less tailored than depicted

CK I do understand that the appearance on the stroller is less attractive than on the packaging due to the products beauty shotsbut I\'m not trying to sell fashion, although I did try to make it as sophisticated and elegant looking as possible. My concerns for children was strictly Safety, Safety, Safety and for parents it was [practicality] and piece of mind. So if you only care about fashion, this is not for you. But, if you want to do what is best for your small child in the cold winter months, then this is definitely for you.

RD Noodad Test Labs appreciates the functionality and couldnt agree more with the intentbut strives to provide the most complete reviews possible and is committed to sharing all of our findings from testing in our reviewseven the seemingly superficial ones.

Third concern regarding what to do with Warm as a Lamb in suddenly warm weather short of removing the cover..

CK What I have suggested to parents, is that instead of taking the cover off or folding it, is to simply take the duo zippers and open on one side of the front panel front top to bottom which will allow more air flow to get to the child. If you wish to unzip the entire front panel and feel that it is dragging, just simply roll under and over the front panel a few times this will eliminate it from dragging

RD Logical. Practical. The kind of solution dads loveand in line with the observation made in the review.

[B]Noodad always loves to hear from the manufacturers of the products we review and wants to thank Christina for her correspondence![/B]

Here in Minnesota it gets so cold that we can\'t take our son out for walks anymore. We would love to have something like this! It will really come in handy during softball season so my son can come support my team! In the early spring it is still freezing at night, so usually my wife and son stay home!

I live in Chicago and hoof it to daycare with my kid 2 mornings a week. If you\'ve never walked around downtown Chicago in Feb, you don\'t know what numbing cold is. My kid has so many layers on, it looks like I\'m pushing a stroller full of laundry. I/we need this!

It was actually a little warmer this year in Syracuse, but warmer still means tons of snow. Sometimes I\'m afraid my kid\'s nose will freeze and break off. I need something like this.
