Premium Sleeping Bag 0.3 TOG Critters

A sleeping bag is suited to babies and infants who are out of the swaddling phase and arms-out sleeping, usually from around 3 months old. This transition is usually heralded by reaching the rolling mileston, and a noticeble decrease of their startle reflex (you may notice it gone altogether).

Your baby is still too young for loose blankets in their sleep space, and still requires a TOG-rated wearable blanket (i.e. a sleeping bag) for sleep. If you have a baby younger than this that is rolling, or a newborn who doesn’t like swaddling, our Cocoon Swaddle Bag is still the safest option for them to use, with the arm-poppers in the shoulders opened for arms-out sleeping. Your infant and toddler will continue to wear a TOG-rated sleeping bag until the big bed transition where they will blanket-train, between 2-3Y old.

This decision comes down to your child's sleep style preference, and their weight and height. Our Sleeping Bags cover 3-12 months, 8-24 months and 2-4 years and 4-6 years old. Please see our Size Guide for dimensions.

A sleeping bag should be fitted around the neck and the armholes to avoid your baby slipping through, or prevent them from pulling the material over their mouth and nose. The sleeping bag should be bell shaped from the hips down, to help prevent dysplasia of the hip joint, and to allow for easy leg movement.

Our general recommendation for your child's progression through our sleeping bag range is:

0-3M - Swaddled (arms in or out) with our Cocoon Swaddle Bag
3-12M - Transition to a Sleeping Bag, which has a similar slim-fit design and fabrication to our Cocoons.
12-24M - Choose between a wider fit Premium Sleeping Bag, or for active toddlers who move a lot during sleep, a Sleep Suit Bag. The Sleep Suit Bag is also versatile for use in a 5-point harness.
2-3Y - Continue with your toddlers preferred pouch (Premium Sleeping Bag or Sleep Suit Bag). Introduce a Toddler Pillow to help them learn to stay in one place during sleep.
3-4Y - Continue wearing a Sleep Suit Bag in 'legs' mode, or try a Sleep Onesie or 1.0 / 2.0 TOG PJ's for warmth under a blanket, while you blanket train and transition to a big bed.
4Y+ - Your big kid has graduated to sleeping with our TOG-rated Pyjama's and Convertible Quilt, congratulations!

Several of our Sleeping Bags & Suits come in sleeveless and sleeved versions in sizes from 3m+. As a general rule, choose sleeves when wearing in room temperatures below 21°C/70°F.

Our Sleeping Bag is an organic baby and toddler sleeping bag designed for arms-out sleepers (usually from around 3 months of age). The Sleeping Bag is made from organic cotton and elastane, similar to how a t-shirt feels. It has a slim-fit, stretchy design and is recommended as baby's 'first sleeping bag' after the swaddling phase is over.

Our Premium Sleeping Bag is a wider-fit premium baby and toddler sleeping bag designed for older infants (from 8+ months of age) and toddlers who prefer more room in their pouch. It is made with a 400 thread count woven organic cotton fabric that is non-stretch, similar to the sheet on your bed. It feels smooth and luxurious on baby’s skin. The ergonomically designed bag features a wide-fit and unique stretch jersey cotton inserts on the sides and shoulders to allow babies to move more freely and stay comfortable while they sleep. Parents have reported the Premium Sleeping Bag is harder-wearing and longer-lasting through washes, although both will give you several years of use.

Both pouches are safe for sleep, come in multiple TOG ratings with options for sleeves or sleeveless, and filled with 100% organic cotton.

This will vary from a nappy (or underwear for toilet-trained toddlers), through to Bodywear and/or a Layer/Pyjamas depending on the room temperature. Follow our Room Thermometer and What to Wear Guide (included in your packaging) to layer appropriately underneath, according to your room temperature and what TOG pouch you use. ergoPouch's under Layers are also TOG rated to help make dressing for sleep easy.

We recommend two lighter TOG bags, and two warmer TOG bags to see you through day and night sleeping, depending on your room temperature. Having two in each TOG provides one for wear if one is in the wash.

Our Sleeping Bags are TOG rated meaning they have an insulation grade making them warm enough to use for sleep without loose bedding, and are designed to replace blankets. It is recommended by safe sleep guidelines to sleep your child with their face and head uncovered in their cot, free from loose bedding, pillows and toys. Please follow our included What to Wear Guide for simple-to-follow instructions on how to layer underneath the sleeping bag, for warmth.

We designed the ergonomic stretch panels for two reasons:
1. As a baby starts to wriggle, the stretch panels allow for comfortable movement and prevent them getting tangled in the non-stretch sheeting material.
2. The panels help with breathability, avoiding temperature variations and overheating.
