How to choose the right sleeping bag?

Sleeping bag: why is there so much talk about it?

The use of the sleeping bag is recommended because, by replacing sheets and blankets, it helps to reduce the child's overheating and to avoid the risk of suffocation. In addition, especially in the first weeks of life, it creates a feeling of enveloping similar to that perceived in

But how do you choose the right one?

First of all, two factors must be taken into account: the size and the TOG (Thermal Overall Grade).

The TOG is the degree of thickness and thermal resistance of the fabric, and therefore determines how warm the bag will keep the child warm. The higher this is, the more the sleeping bag will keep the baby warm

To understand which TOG to choose, it is necessary to consider the temperature of the room where the child will sleep as well as the season, of course.

Here are the main Togs:

• 24/26°C, TOG 0.5
• 21/24°C, TOG 1
• 18/21°C, TOG 2.5
• 15/18°C, TOG 3.5

As far as the size is concerned, it must be chosen right otherwise the bag may be too uncomfortable (if small) or it may not keep the temperature at its best (if large).

Here are the main measures:

• 50/70 cm 0/6 months
• 70/92 cm 6/18
• 92/110 cm 18/36 months

In conclusion, the sleeping bag must be comfortable, breathable and safe. It is important to always check that the bag does not have zippers, buttons, elastic bands or decorations that may be annoying to your little

Now you are ready to choose the perfect bag for you!
