Superb quality that lasts the best baby gift we received

We were given one of these Wild Poppy Merino Kids sleep sacks when we had our first child three years ago. He used it throughout his first two winters and it was so good that we bought a standard merino sleep sack for the summer months and when he got taller around the age of 2 we moved him up to the toddler sleep sack (Merino Kids Toddler Sleep Bag French Navy). The toddler sleep sack is just as good but bigger and will last him another couple of years. He's in it every night wouldn't be without it especially when we travel. He sleeps in it in the car seat on road trips and he wears it on aircraft when we fly.



The reason this Wild Poppy sleep sack is called 'winter-weight' is that it has an extra layer of insulation compared to the other Merino Kids baby sleep sacks. This keeps your baby warm if their bedroom gets cool. The guideline they give is below 65 degrees (18C). I think 68-72 degrees is what's recommended as the ideal temperature for a baby's bedroom so if yours dips below that in cold weather or if you have cold aircon then this winter sleep sack is for you.



We still have our original Wild Poppy baby sleep sack our daughter sleeps in it now during winter months and we bought her a lovely Rose Hip (Merino Kids Baby Sleep Bag Rose Hip) for the other seasons. Even after two years of hard use by our little boy and now two winters with our little girl the original Wild Poppy winter sleep sack is still going strong and it will last as a hand me down to some of their cousins.



It's testament to the superb quality of these Merino Kids sleep sacks that they last so well especially considering that a child spends probably more time asleep in a sleep sack than in any other item of clothing.More detail ...

excellent design

We purchased this after our 6 month old outgrew the various small sleepsacks we had been given and we were having difficulty finding larger products. This really would fit a tiny baby because there are snaps at the armholes that snug the top part right to the child and then as the child grows and the armholes need to be bigger you can leave the arm snaps undone. I'm not sure this would really fit a two year old but it will certainly fit our daughter for a long time to come (doubt there are any larger sleep sacks anyway). The price is high but given the range of sizes it accommodates it is not as expensive as it first seems. Also it is machine washable and can go in the dryer. Natural wool is also a selling feature.More detail ...

great value

This sleep bag is great value for money because it can be used for newborns up to 18 months old and it can be used all year. I tried cheaper synthetic sleep bags and they don't last nearly as long. They fit a baby for only a few months at a time and you need to buy new bags as your baby grows. I use my Merino Kids bag all year round whereas other sleep bags are suited to either warm or cold rooms and I have friends who have bought different sleep bags for different temperatures. For example microfleece when it's cold and cotton for warm days. Then there's the bonus of a safety belt slot. I can use my Merino Kids sleep bag in the car and I don't need a special sleep bag for traveling. My Merino Kids bag has lasted me two children over three years and it looks as good as new. It's kept its cuddliness and shape wash after wash. I've saved money in the long run compared to friends who own a range of different sleep bags. And the Merino Kids sleep bag is so much higher quality than anything else I've seen.More detail ...

Magic Sleep Sack

I was given this sleep sack when my baby was born she still wears it at night and she still has room to grow. It's been fantastic regulating her temperature and I know she is perfectly warm. When transferring baby to the car seat the merino sleep sack has a convenient design which allows baby not to be disturbed and makes going out a breeze. The dome on the shoulder unclips for feeding time and this sleep sack washes well and drys fast. I am very impressed and rate this an essential item for any new mother.More detail ...

Our Daily Diaper

When I was pregnant and researching cloth diapering I wanted to try all the different kinds out. I bought one or two of nearly everything: different brands of prefolds all sorts of All-In-Ones some contours various fitteds pocket diapers with snaps pockets with velcro etc etc! Once we figured out what worked best I expanded our stash of Fuzzi Bunz pocket diapers. My son is now almost 6 months old and we use them every day (we use something else at night.) The two rows of snaps make the diaper fit well around the waist and around his legs (and he has some chunky thighs!) He only rarely has any leaks and he doesn't get the ugly red marks on his thighs that some diapers leave. Pocket diapers are great because you can choose your level of absorbency by adding another insert for a heavy wetter or for nighttime. I wash our Fuzzi Bunz with Charlie's soap and machine dry on low and all of ours still look brand new! The colors are also very cute and we constantly get compliments! Overall Fuzzi Bunz are great quality easy to use and adorable. We definitely recommend them to anyone interested in cloth diapering!More detail ...

No more colds!

My baby girl kicked off her blankets every night and seemed to get cold after cold. I tried the merino sleep sack which fits her snug and doesn't ride up and she hasn't had a cold since. The merino regulates her temperature which keeps her sleeping all night and I recommend this to any mother.More detail ...
