Winner:SILVER - Best Children’s Sleepwear Collection (Baby Sleeping Bags)
Who:Kitz Heimat
What:Sleep and kick bag
Why:
This simple and very cute merino wool sleeping bag really grabbed our judges’ attention. Easy to slip on, it offers great freedom of movement for babies while the magical merino wool keeps your baby’s temperature regulated. The high waistband gives a secure fit under the arms and stays firmly yet softly in place making it a safer alternative to blankets which can fall off or ride up over babies faces.
"Great design and super practical."
"Love the fact it keeps the baby feeling secure with its waist feature and really comfortable fabric."
"The bag offers sense of security with freedom of movement. It keeps legs and hips warm without restricting the baby, allowing natural movement. Great that it offers a safer alternative to blankets, as it cannot slip over the face."
"This is such a cute and dinky sleeping bag that is so easy to slip on and off when needed yet stays put for a lovely cosy sleep."
"Not all babies like to be tightly swaddled and this is a great option for parents who want to allow freedom of movement and let babies self-soothe with their hands."
