Who: ergoPouch

What:Cocoon Swaddle, Butterfly Cardi and Jersey sleeping bag

Why:

The team at ergoPouch have made it their mission to make sure babies from newborn to toddler are given the best chance of great naps and nights with their collection of innovative sleeping bags. The JDA panel loved the soft fabrics, the clever way the Swaddle Bag and Butterfly Cardi can be used together to help ease the transition from swaddling to independent sleep and the practical details like dual zip openings, breathable organic cotton for temperature regulation and hip healthy designs.

"Great design and super practical. Love the patterns!"

Julia Diogo, Manicurist, @paintedbyjools

"Love the soft fabric and the functionality of these sacks. Love the range of togs they do and also such a great range of products."

Laura Coleman, Model & Content Creator @misslauracoleman

"Competitively priced, good material used. Dual-zip openings make overnight nappy changes easier and less disruptive, and silhouette allows for unrestricted movement."

Dr Monika Sharma, NHS GP, @lifewithdoctormom

"When sleep is the Holy Grail, a well-designed swaddle and sleeping bag can make all the difference!"

Eleonore Crompton, Deputy Editor, Junior @juniormagazineonline

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."

Julia Diogo, Manicurist, @paintedbyjools

"Love the fact it keeps the baby feeling secure with its waist feature and really comfortable fabric."

Laura Coleman, Model & Content Creator @misslauracoleman

"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."

Dr Monika Sharma, NHS GP, @lifewithdoctormom

"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."

Bonita Turner, Editor of Junior, @juniormagazineonline

"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."

Eleonore Crompton, Deputy Editor, Junior @juniormagazineonline

Winner:BRONZE - Best Children’s Sleepwear Collection (Baby Sleeping Bags)

Who:Snüz

What:SnüzSwaddle

Why:

This 3-in-1 newborn swaddle bag designed to support safe, comfortable sleep was a big hit with the JDA panel. Created for babies from 0-6 months, it is extremely versatile allowing babies to sleep swaddled, arms-free with sleeves on, or sleeves removed giving plenty of options. The judges loved the unique nappy-change zip that enables a quick, easy night-time change with minimal disturbance.

"Great design and super practical. Super chic. Love the tones and colours of these."

Julia Diogo, Manicurist, @paintedbyjools

"Love the range of sacks. Soft fabrics, great functionality and super comfortable for little ones. Love how one sleep sack can be with or without arms etc. Really great and chic fabric patterns and designs."

Laura Coleman, Model & Content Creator @misslauracoleman

"Innovative, practical, good price point. 3-in-1 functionality giving parents the choice between the options of being fully swaddled, arms free with or without sleeves."
