Safe Sleep: Using a sleep bag correctly

New Zealand is one of the leading countries in the research of SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome). The Merino Kids™ baby sleep bag has been designed with the research of SIDS in mind:

1. It promotes baby / infant sleeping on their back.
2. It is sleeveless to allow complete air circulation whilst in the cot.
3. It regulates temperature, meaning baby is never too hot or too cold.
4. It is designed to ensure that baby never gets tangled or slips in bedding.
