Picking the best sleep bag for baby matters a lot. It helps keep sleep safe, cozy, and calm. A baby sleep bag acts like a wearable blanket. It gives a safe way to stay warm. This beats old-style blankets. Those can bring dangers from loose cloth.

Why Choose a Baby Sleep Bag Over Blankets?

Baby sleep bags beat loose blankets in many ways. They put safety first. They also boost comfort. Blankets can get kicked off. Babies might pull them over their faces. Sleep bags stop that. They cut risks of choking or getting too hot. Safe sleep rules say loose bedding ups Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) chance. This happens from blocked airways. Sleep bags bring key perks. They give steady warmth. No extra bedding needed. They push back sleeping. That is the top safe spot. They make a known sleep spot. This aids good sleep habits. They lower overheat risk. This comes with airy stuff.

For makers, sleep bags must match these safe perks. This meets what buyers want. It follows world safety rules too. Groups like Red Nose Australia and the Lullaby Trust set those rules.

Understanding TOG Ratings for Baby Sleep Bags

What is a TOG Rating?

TOG means Thermal Overall Grade. It checks how well a sleep bag fights cold. It shows warmth hold power. A big TOG means a hotter bag. That fits cold spots. A small TOG works for hot times. This rate fits bags from cotton or polyester mostly. But smart stuff like merino wool changes temp on its own. It does not need TOG much. Still, TOG guides warmth well.

Selecting the Appropriate TOG Rating

Pick TOG by room heat where baby sleeps. Safe pros say 16-20°C is best for baby rest. Here is a simple chart. It picks TOG by room temp.

Merino Wool: A Superior Choice for Temperature Regulation

Sizing a Baby Sleep Bag Correctly

Right size keeps things safe and comfy. The bag must hug the chest tight. But legs need lots of space to move. Wrong size bags limit wiggle. Or baby can slide in. That spells trouble. To find best size, use this. Baby’s length minus head size. Then add 10cm. That gives ideal length. Neck hole must stay shut tight. It stops head slip when closed. Sizes should cover 56 to 115 cm babies. That is 7-23 kg. From new babies to walkers.

Make tip: Give local size guides. Add change options for markets. Harvest SPF does this. Their bags go 56 to 90 cm. Perfect fit as baby grows.
