Buying Guide: Key Purchase Considerations
- Fabric and breathability: For hot nights, prioritize 100% cotton or muslin fabrics and a 0.5 TOG to maximize airflow while retaining warmth when needed.
- Safety features: Look for two-way zippers with zipper guards, collar covers, and safety-lock mechanisms to prevent skin irritation and ensure secure sleeping.
- Fit and size: Choose a sack that allows room for leg movement and hip development. Check size charts to avoid sacks that are too tight or too loose for growth.
- Ease of diaper changes: A two-way zipper that runs from top to bottom simplifies midnight changes without undressing the baby.
