How do I choose what to buy?
Choosing the right sleeping bag for your child depends on their sleep style preference, as well as their weight and height. Here’s a general guide for progressing through our sleeping bag range:
Newborn - 12 Months: Start with our Cocoon Swaddle Bag (arms in or out) to provide a snug, secure feeling.
3-12 Months: Transition to a Sleeping Bag, which offers a similar slim-fit design and fabric as the Cocoon Swaddle.
8-24 Months: Continue with our Sleeping Bag or choose between a Premium Sleeping Bag for a wider fit or a Sleep Suit Bag for active toddlers who move a lot during sleep. The Sleep Suit Bag is also versatile for use in a 5-point harness.
2-3 Years: Continue with your toddler's preferred pouch (either the Premium Sleeping Bag or Sleep Suit Bag). You can also introduce a Toddler Pillow to help them stay in one place during sleep.
3-4 Years: Keep using the Sleep Suit Bag in 'legs' mode, or try our Sleep Onesie or Kids Pyjamas for warmth under a blanket while transitioning to a big bed.
4Y+: Your big kid can now enjoy our TOG-rated Pyjamas and Convertible Quilt. Congratulations on reaching this milestone!
Important Notes:
Always ensure the sleeping bag fits snugly around the neck and armholes to prevent your baby from slipping through or pulling the material over their face.
The sleeping bag should be bell-shaped from the hips down to prevent hip dysplasia and allow for free leg movement.
We offer both sleeveless and sleeved options starting from size 3M+. Generally, choose sleeves for room temperatures below 21°C/70°F.
Sizing Tips:
A baby weighing 2kg or more can safely use the 00000 size. For smaller babies, please consult your pediatrician first.
A baby weighing over 3kg is suitable for the NB 0000 size, and a baby weighing 3-6kg fits the 0-3M size.
Most newborns born at 38 weeks or later will fit the Newborn 0000 size.
