Comfy sleeping bag, little legs free - and little ones unbothered!
Cosy, curl-up evenings have arrived.
The warmth feels especially lovely now, but as a parent it is important to be prepared for chilly nights.
The cool season is here, and it will only get colder. Thick duvets are slowly coming out of the cupboard to guard us from the night air.
But what about the littlest ones? They usually do not like big, heavy blankets, and they wriggle so much in their sleep that a blanket would not stay on anyway.
The solution is simpler than you think: a toddler sleeping bag with legs that you will both love, it gives gentle warmth while allowing full freedom to move.
Traditional sleeping bags are safest and tear-free mainly in the early weeks. Once your little one starts kicking, rolling and walking, those bags can quickly become a nightmare. For a busy child, a night in a classic bag can be unsettling: a stronger roll can leave them tangled, or they cannot roll back easily. Then they wake and cry… and scarier still, if they wake and toddle off, they can trip because they cannot move freely.
It does not have to be like this. As the name suggests, in a toddler sleeping bag your child can toddle about comfortably.
Four reasons a toddler sleeping bag is the best choice
1) Soft as a warm hug
Our toddler sleeping bags are made from natural bamboo fibre. This material gives extra protection and softness to your baby’s or toddler’s skin. Bamboo - still new to many, is increasingly used for sleeping bags, babywear and other textiles as an eco friendly base fabric. Your child will feel comfy in their sleep bag, and you can feel confident about both the fabric and the freedom to toddle.
2) Comfortable warmth all night long
Thanks to its breathability, bamboo is a fantastic fabric. It feels cooler in summer and provides the needed warmth in winter, keeping your little one snug. With temperature regulation and moisture wicking, it is practical in every season. Its softness means your child will love the feel, making sleep more comfortable.
3) Fresh at bedtime, fresh in the morning
Our sleeping bags have excellent absorbency, which is a real plus for children who are not fully potty trained yet. Even if there is a little “accident”, comfort and a healthier microclimate next to sensitive skin are maintained, helping to prevent immediate rashes or redness.
4) Built to last, even for the next child
We know little ones need a lot, and as parents we want the very best. Bamboo-based viscose is durable, so the garment does not shrink, does not bag out, and does not lose its shape or wear thin after many washes and wears. After two to three years of use you can often pass it on so another child can enjoy it too, which also supports a more sustainable approach.
You can safely store a bamboo sleeping bag if you plan more babies. It keeps its shape and softness in the cupboard, ready to offer all the benefits of bamboo to a future sibling as well — for peaceful nights all round.
