Learn how to use the Sleep Suit Bag in either Bag or Suit mode, for safer, comfortable sleeping
The Sleep Suit Bag is a Sleeping Bag and Sleep Suit in one! With the use of some clever zips, you can transform between a Sleeping Bag and a Sleep Suit with legs. Here we explain the features of Australia’s most popular and loved sleeping bag product for your child, and offer some tips and tricks on how to best use the product to get more sleep
How to Use the Sleep Suit Bag
In 'Bag' mode:
1. Use like a regular sleeping bag. Given the zip configuration, we suggest only opening the upper zips to dress.
2. Put your childs legs into the bag first, in an upright or lying down position. Pull up over shoulders and put the arms in last. Zip up.
3. To change a nappy or use the toilet, undo the lower zips 3/4 of the way down. Remove their legs and lower torso as needed. Put legs back into the bag and zip up when finished.
To transition/use as a Suit:
1. Undo the zips in the lower portion of the pouch
2. Connect the front left zip to the back left zips, and zip up all the way to the crotch. Repeat on the right side and voila, you have two 'legs'.
3. Dress your child in the Suit by opening the upper zip only. Given the zip configuration, we suggest putting your child's legs in first, in an upright position, and then putting the arms in.
4. To change a nappy or use the toilet, undo the lower leg zips 3/4 of the way down. Remove their legs and lower torso as needed. Put legs back into the suit and zip up when finished.
Size Guide
Sleep Suit Sack
Please use your child's weight to find the most appropriate and safe size for them. The Sleep Suit Sack should be fitted around the neck and the armholes to avoid your child slipping through. In 'legs' mode, there should be enough length at the end of the suit to allow your child to move their feet freely. 2.5 TOG and 3.5 TOG Sleep Suit Sacks should not be used in a 5-point harness or car seat for safety reasons.
