Favorite product to help transition your baby out of traditional swaddles?

Hey mamas! My little one isn’t showing signs of needing to transition out of swaddles quite yet, but I want to be ready for it! Are the Nested Bean sleep sacks worth it? Something else you would recommend to make the process easier? She sleeps sooo well when swaddled, so I’m dreading this transition.
