Product Information

Another sleeping bag with legs, many parents swear by the Slumbersac for getting a good night’s sleep. We love the colourful patterns, the breathable organic cotton design, the removable arms and the choice of six different sizes. This sleeping bag is particularly suited to babies and toddlers who are up on their feet already, the foldable cuffs protect little feet from the cold and the anti-slip system helps to prevent accidental slips and tumbles. Almost all brands will state whether they comply with the safety standard in the accompanying instructions. If it’s not mentioned, you can follow up with their Customer Service department. Fabric: Cotton and polyester | Sizes: 0-6 months, 6-18 months, 18-36 months | Tog: 2.5 What we love Fluctuations in room temperature often require parents to adjust baby’s warmth levels during the night. However, changing baby’s wearing layers whilst they are sleeping can be disruptive and safer sleep guidelines warn against adding loose blankets on top of a baby sleeping bag as it introduces avoidable risks. Grobags look undeniably premium but it’s their safety credentials which are truly impressive. Grobags have the Lullaby Trust seal of approval and were the inspiration for the current British safety guidelines. The company's side zip bag is its most popular and it’s not hard to see why. It’s designed to make night-time nappy changes easier and is perfect for young babies who have outgrown their swaddle.

We took all the baby sleeping bags that came most highly recommended by consumers and parents to draw up a shortlist of 20 products and then narrowed it down to the nine you see here, which we think offer enough choice for every family. Why you should trust us Therefore, we teamed up with sleep scientists and a qualified paediatrician at Northumbria University, to develop a dual-tog All-Season Grobag™. Suitable for use in temperatures ranging from 14-27+°C, featuring removable insulation it can be easily adjusted from a 2.5 tog to a 1.0 tog sleep bag. If parents need to adjust baby’s temperature while they are sleeping, they can safely add or remove warmth using the outer zip ‘n’ pop layers with minimal disturbance to baby. With breathable mesh, positioned in high-heat areas, it enhances baby’s ability to efficiently release excess heat, which supports their natural temperature regulation and ultimately helps to keep them comfortable for a good night's sleep. Another vote for Slumbersac. They are great - we have several for our toddler." (Tried and tested by Mumsnet user Elune) Our verdict Of course, it goes without saying that the washed sleeping bag should be completely dry and cool before it’s used again for bedtime – damp fabrics can make a baby cold, and metal poppers and zips can burn straight from the tumble dryer. How much do baby sleeping bags cost?Bear in mind that current car seat safety advice is to avoid strapping babies and children into their car seats while wearing padded coats or suits, which might apply to the bulkier sleeping bags too. How do I keep a sleeping bag clean? Little spillages can be sponged off, but it’s likely that your baby sleeping bag will need machine washing regularly. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions about washing temperatures and tumble drying. At Mumsnet we know how important it is that everyone gets a good night’s sleep. That’s why we spend hours researching and testing the products recommended by the millions of parents who visit our forums - from the best cot bed or mattress protector to the best swaddle blankets, we’ve got you covered for the essentials. It’s very important that your baby does not overheat at night, so read the manufacturer’s instructions carefully about the tog rating. Shoulder poppers are another helpful feature for dressing and undressing. Almost all sleeping bags should have under-arm poppers to ensure a good, secure fit for a smaller baby. Some, such as the SnüzPouch, might have an extra zip at the front for changing a nappy without having to remove the bag. 4. Washing instructions

The Gro Company. I always feel safe in the knowledge I am putting my babies to bed in the correct layering and tog bag. They wash really well and have never shrunk in my tumble dryer, unlike the standard supermarket brand ones you can buy."(Recommended by Mumsnet user chocolaterain) Fabric: Cotton and elastane | Sizes: 6-18 months, 18-36 months | Tog: 0.2, 1 & 2.5 available What we love tog - If you’re buying just one sleeping bag this is your best option. 2.5 tog sleeping bags are designed to be used in a room temperature range of about 15-20 degrees celsius, making them suitable for most of the year. Should your little one need changing during the night, there’s easy zip access to help you deal with those night-time nappy changes without disturbing baby or anyone else who is trying to get some much-needed rest.The fabric of the Grobag is top notch – not only is it soft and snuggly but it washes incredibly well and doesn’t get that lumpy effect that other, slightly cheaper, sleeping bags tend to suffer from. By far the most-recommended baby sleeping bag in the Mumsnet forums, we think it’s the best all-rounder out there. There are plenty of baby sleeping bags specifically designed for newborns – the ErgoPouch Cocoon Swaddle Bag, for example, which won our Best for Newborns award.
