Tog and Care Information

  

It is a mistake to think that 2.5 tog bags are for Winter and 1 and 0.5 togs are for Summer. Summer nights can be very cool and in Winter we invariably have central heating and good insulation. The tog rating of the sleeping bag you use should depend on not just the season but the temperature of the baby's nursery. 

 

0.5 Tog Baby Sleeping Bag (only available in six designs)

Are suitable for very hot nurseries, hot summer months and summer holidays.  For use with room/nursery temperatures of 24°C and above.

 

1.0 Tog Baby Sleeping Bag

2.5 Tog Baby Sleeping Bag

Are suitable for all year round, except peak summer temperatures.  For use with room/nursery temperatures between 15°C and 21°C.

 

These are guidelines only.  

 

What your baby should wear with the Sleeping Bag

 

Use the table as a guide of what your baby should wear with their baby sleeping bag, depending on the nursery temperature but always check your baby is not overheating or too cold.  Recommended nursery temperature is 18°C*.

Safety First

  • Always follow the Feet to Foot rule when putting your baby to sleep, place your baby on their back with their feet to the foot of the cot.
  • Never use any other blankets, sheets or other bedding with a sleeping bag.
  • Use the above as a guideline only, check your baby is not overheating.
  • Keep away from fire.

Always ensure that your baby can not slip down inside the sleeping bag when it is done up and your baby can freely kick their legs.
