Buying Baby Sleeping Bags Tips

Posted by still alone

  • Choose your baby's sleeping bag according to the prevailing season, so that he/she stays comfortably warm and does not overheat. Bags are given a TOG rating according to the warmth they provide. The higher the TOG figure, the warmer will be the bag. In winter, a baby sleeping bag should have a rating of 4 TOG - 2.2 TOG. In summers, you'll need a sleeping bag with a lower TOG rating.
  • When you are buying a new sleeping bag for your child, make sure to check that the design and weight do not add to the heating process, thereby leading to overheating.
  • It is advisable to go for a sleeping bag that has deep sleeve holes, so that the air gets room to circulate throughout the bag. This will work to prevent the bag from getting overheated.
  • While determining the size of your baby sleeping bag, make sure that it small enough to prevent your baby from sliding down inside the bag. At the same time, it should be big enough to allow him/her to kick legs freely, without the risk of being uncovered.
  • Never ever get a quilted sleeping bag for your baby, as it can get too hot for your baby to handle. If you feel that your baby might feel cold in it, you can always put a sheet on the sleeping bag.
