Fitted Neck and Armholes: Ensure the sleeping bag has a snug fit to prevent baby’s head slipping down or arms getting caught inside, which can pose a suffocation or entrapment risk.
Hoodless Design: Avoid sleeping bags with hoods to keep the face and head uncovered and reduce the risk of overheating.
Appropriate TOG Rating: Select a TOG (Thermal Overall Grade) that matches the room temperature to help your baby stay comfortably warm without overheating.
Correct Size: Choose a bag suited to your baby’s age and size for proper fit and safety.
Unrestricted Arm Movement: Choose a sleep bag that allows arms to be free to protect their airway. This can be a sleeping bag with fitted armholes or firm fitting sleeves for cooler conditions.
Warning Labels: Look for labels about correct use, flammability, and other relevant safety information.
