Buying Guide: Key Purchase Considerations
- Fabric and skin safety: For sensitive skin, opt for organic cotton or bamboo-based fabrics, and look for certified materials like GOTS.
- TOG rating and climate: 0.3–0.5 TOG is light for warm environments; 0.5–1.0 TOG covers most bedrooms; adjust with room temperature and sleepwear layers.
- Diaper changes: A two-way zipper and zipper guards reduce disruption and protect delicate skin during night-time changes.
- Fit and hip development: Sleeves or arms should be snug but not restrictive; waist and leg openings should allow natural movement without the sack slipping off.
- Care and durability: Check washability and shrinkage; quilted or padded designs may endure more wear and maintain shape after repeated washing.
