How do I choose the right size Sleeping Sack?Updated 2 months ago

How do I choose what to buy?

Choosing the right sleeping sack for your child depends on their sleep preferences, as well as their weight and height. Here’s a general guide to help you choose the right sleeping sack from our range:

0-3M: Start with our Cocoon Swaddle Sack (arms in or out) for a snug, secure feeling.
3-12M: Transition to a Sleeping Sack, which offers a similar slim-fit design and fabric as the Cocoon Swaddle.
12-24M: Choose between a Sleeping Sack for a wider fit or a Sleep Suit Sack for active toddlers who move a lot during sleep. The Sleep Suit Sack is also great for use in a 5-point harness.
2-3Y: Stick with your toddler’s preferred option (either the Sleeping Sack or Sleep Suit Sack). You can also introduce a Toddler Pillow to help them stay in one place during sleep.
3-4Y: Continue using the Sleep Suit Sack 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. Congrats on reaching this milestone!

Important Notes:

  • Always ensure the sleeping sack fits snugly around the neck and armholes to prevent your baby from slipping through or pulling the material over their face.
  • The sleeping sack 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+. Sleeves are recommended for room temperatures below 70°F (21°C).

Sizing Tips:

  • A baby weighing 4.4 lbs or more can safely use the 00000 size. For smaller babies, please consult your pediatrician first.
  • A baby weighing over 6.6 lbs is suitable for the NB 0000 size, and a baby weighing 6.6-13.2 lbs fits the 0-3M size.
  • Most newborns born at 38 weeks or later will fit the Newborn 0000 size.
