Product Information

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. 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. It’s very important that your baby does not overheat at night, so read the manufacturer’s instructions carefully about the tog rating. Our Steppeebags have been designed to be snug up top and wriggly down below - slim fitting through the chest to enable full freedom of movement without restriction or excess bulk with a roomy, hip-healthy bottom to allow your baby to adopt a natural “frog-legged” sleeping position, which is important for correct hip development.

Remember how frustrated babies don’t like being dressed and undressed? That goes for their sleeping bag too. On the whole, side zips are easier than central zips for getting the bag on and off a wriggly baby. 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.

They have great resell value." (Loved by Mumsnet user cookielove) Our verdict Kate Holmes says, “Use the correct tog rating for the time of year. It isn’t necessary to use additional bedding when using a sleeping bag.”

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.We had a dinky baby. The snuz sleeping bags have poppers on the side to make them a bit more snug for the littler babies. Helped us, also meant we didn’t have to buy hundreds."

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? Sleep, temperature, and comfort are closely intertwined, and behaviours geared towards creating a comfortable sleep environment are present in all mammals – from the little mouse curling up in its burrow to the person buying bedding for their home. If we can keep baby at a nice and comfy temperature throughout the night, we can avoid any unnecessary wake ups due to them being too hot or too cold. Providing your child with a comfortable sleep environment is one of the best things you can do, to help your baby sleep better and for longer, night after night. One BabyCentre parent said:"I really can't recommend Mori sleeping bags more! I've tried a few and they are fantastic. They go up to 2 years so it saves buying any more every 6 months."The results are in, and The Original Grobag is the best baby sleeping bag for 2023. It’s cosy, cleverly designed and washes really well - plus it’s got the Lullaby Trust stamp of approval. The original and still the best, we think the Grobag is the best baby sleeping bag to buy. How we chose our recommendations 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 With its unique half-moon zip, changing nappies is a doddle when your baby wears a Snuzpouch. Anything that makes those late-night changes any less disruptive to everybody’s sleep is a winner in our book. 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.

Babies being babies, their sleeping bag will probably need washing regularly. A product that is machine washable is a must, and it’s also helpful if it can be tumble dried and ironed. 5. Travel features We have the super love merino ones which are also 0-2. They are much thinner than usual ones so not bulky. They have poppers under arms to use when small so they can’t slip down. Ds started using around 3-4 months and they seems comically long, but after a month is so seemed to fit perfect. He’s still using now at 1 year and they feel lovely and soft still.
