Product Information

With legs and booties, the JoJo Maman Bebe Sleep Snuggler looks a little different to the other sleeping bags on our list, and that extra snugness makes it the cosiest around. If your child gets frustrated having their feet in a sleeping bag, this could be the one for you. 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. Made from soft, fluorescent-free 100% cotton-rich jersey fabric with Aloekind™ breathable mesh panels which are infused with naturally soothing Aloe Vera. 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 One BabyCentre parent said:"Bought lb a sleeping bag from them which has footholes, cuffed almost like a long pair of harem pants lol!!! It's so much better for toddlers as they can walk around freely with their sleeping bag still on."

There are plenty of baby sleeping bags specifically designed for newborns – the ErgoPouch Cocoon Swaddle Bag, for example, which won our Best for Newborns award. tog - If you’re buying just one sleeping bag this is your best option. 2.5 tog sleeping bags are designed to be used in a room temperature range of about 15-20 degrees celsius, making them suitable for most of the year. Both organic cotton and bamboo viscose are eco-friendly and hypoallergenic. Best of all, poppers on each side can be opened to convert the Cocoon Swaddle Bag to a sleeping bag. ErgoPouch recommend doing this as soon as your baby can roll, but this is a great bit of flexibility that may come in handy if your baby suddenly decides they prefer their arms unencumbered, and it’s not one we saw in any other product. The Jojo Maman ones which are like little padded suits are fantastic if you have a wriggler or baby who likes to walk in their sleeping bag. Really handy for the car as well. Bonus points for how comical the baby looks when they're walking around like a tiny Michelin man."

3. Best baby sleeping bag for winter - JoJo Maman Bebe Sleep Snuggler

Our All-Season sleepbag has been designed for arms out sleeping and should not be used as a swaddle. The poppers on the armholes (0-6m only) allow for fit adjustment for smaller babies to ensure a perfect fit, to keep baby safe and comfortable. Our sleepbags are slim fitting through the chest to enable full freedom of movement without restriction or excess bulk with a roomy, hip-healthy bottom.

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? It’s entirely possible, therefore, that you might buy more than one bag for different weather conditions – or you might decide to buy a lightweight model and put your baby in warmer nightwear underneath during the winter or choose a multi-season sleeping bag, such as the JoJo Maman Bebe Sleep Snuggler or the Superlove Merino.

Should your little one need changing during the night, there’s easy zip access to help you deal with those night-time nappy changes without disturbing baby or anyone else who is trying to get some much-needed rest. Sleeping bags come in sizes with recommended age ranges. If the range is only a few months (a 0-6 month size, for example), think about what season it will be in a few months’ time – will your tog rating match that season and will you get enough wear out of it in that time? 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. Best sleeping bag for older kids: Slumbersac 100% organic cotton baby sleeping bag with feet in Woodland Animals 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.

2. Best budget baby sleeping bag - ASDA Under the Sea Sleep Bag

Fabric: Cotton and elastane | Sizes: 6-18 months, 18-36 months | Tog: 0.2, 1 & 2.5 available What we love Superlove baby sleeping bags come in at the top end of the price scale, but they feature such gorgeous Merino wool, they are totally worth investing in if you have the cash to splash. In fact, studies have shown Merino wool actually improves babies sleep patterns by creating a cosy and breathable microclimate. Stretchy, comfortable and surprisingly affordable, this beautiful swaddle converts to an arms-out sleeping bag once a child becomes more mobile, which is perfect for brand-new babies. This 1.0 Tog sleeping bag from Tommee Tippee is perfect for keeping your little one cool and comfortable during the warmer months and the easy zip opening makes nappy changes a breeze. The clever ‘Snugfit’ design is fitted across the chest but leaves plenty of room at the bottom for your baby to adopt a natural ‘frog-legged’ sleeping position, which is important for correct hip development.

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.Fabric: Merino wool, bamboo and cotton | Sizes: Newborn-2 years | Tog: All season (0.7-2.4) / Superwarm (2.5-3.5) What we love Shoulder poppers are another helpful feature for dressing and undressing. Almost all sleeping bags should have under-arm poppers to ensure a good, secure fit for a smaller baby. Some, such as the SnüzPouch, might have an extra zip at the front for changing a nappy without having to remove the bag. 4. Washing instructions 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. They still have growing room." (Recommended by Mumsnetter Caspianberg) Our verdict We liked gro bag too, but only bought them in tkmaxx. They have great resell value."
