How To Choose The Best Sleeping Bag for Your Toddler

Choosing a sleeping bag for your precious toddler needs some consideration. Size, durability and other factors all need to be thought about when buying a sleeping bag, to make sure it will be perfect for your toddler’s needs. Here is what you should consider:

Size

The size of the sleeping bag is quite important. You don’t need a full-size sleeping bag as toddlers are much smaller than us, but you don’t want it to be too small that it won’t fit in a few years’ time.

Look for a sleeping bag that can accommodate your toddler’s growth and last a few years.

Durability

There is no point buying a sleeping bag if it isn’t going to last. Look for the design features to make sure the sleeping bag is durable with a long life expectancy, you never know if you will need it for another toddler in future!

Material

The perfect material for sleeping bags are ripstop nylon and polyester, these have been used for years and work really well. For extra warmth, you could look for a sleeping bag that is lined with a material such as cotton or fleece.

Temperature Rating

Temperature rating becomes important when you are planning to use the sleeping bag in cooler weather. There is a rating that sleeping bags use to determine their temperature range, such as a 20-degree bag being used in 20-degree weather, etc.

Waterproof

Even if you are not planning on using the sleeping bag outdoors, a waterproof exterior can save you from unfortunate spills and messes. The last thing your toddler needs is the inside of the sleeping bag to be soaking wet.

Compressibility

Whether you are planning on using the toddler sleeping bag for daycare, for sleepovers or for traveling, making sure it can compress into a small size to be carried can save a lot of effort and space.

Toddler Sleeping Bags

Toddler sleeping bags are so versatile. They can be used for camping, for daycare, for naps in the lounge or for sleepovers.

Choosing the right sleeping bag will help to ensure it lasts a long time, it is comfortable, it grows with your child, and that your little one will love sleeping in it!
