Why are baby sleeping bags a better alternative to sheets and blankets?
|
Sleep sacks allow babies to maintain a constant temperature throughout the night, without the risk of kicking off covers or getting tangled up in bedding, while still allowing them to move around freely during the night.
They are far lower maintenance for parents than conventional bedding and can provide security and familiarity when babies are staying away from home or moving from a Moses basket into a cot.

What ages are Slumbersac baby sleeping bags designed for?
|
|
Our baby sleep sacks come in three sizes and cater for newborn babies up to three-year-old children.

Why do some bags have side zips and others centre zips?
|
Some designs do have centre zips on all sizes; however most of the smaller sizes have side zips which are designed to make for easy access when changing your baby during the night.
As babies become bigger and stronger there is a risk they can force open the 'snaps' at the shoulder so we use centre zips without snaps on size 3.
All sizes of travel bags have a two-way centre zip to facilitate harness fixing.

Why don't bags have sleeves?
|
|
Inside a baby sleeping bag babies move and wriggle, thus creating heat. To ensure a constant temperature your baby ventilates though its head and arms. Having cool hands indicates everything is working well.

Could my baby become too hot?
|
As long as the room is a safe temperature and the right tog is used, there is no danger of children overheating. All our baby sleeping bags come with a FREE nursery thermometer to help you monitor room temperature.
Never use any clothing with hoods and avoid using additional sheets or blankets with sleep sacks. The only additional bedding required is a cot sheet. For more safety information click here.

Do bags wash and dry easily?
|
|
Yes. All our baby sleep bags can be machine washed at 40 degrees and tumble-dried on a low heat. We recommend you keep zips closed for washing and drying. Remember, too, that for your convenience it is advisable to have at least two bags, particularly handy when it comes to unplanned night-time changes!
