Joey Swag Organic Cotton Baby Sleeping Bag Platinum 1.5 TOG Pink Dot

A Baby Sleeping Bag or Baby Sleep Bag is a wearable blanket designed for babies to be used instead of sheets and blankets. Baby Sleeping Bags have a neck opening and armholes and are actually worn by the baby, toddler or child and help bub remain at the right temperature through the night or day without the issue blankets and sheets being kicked off or becoming tangled.

Yes. A well-fitting, low-TOG Baby Sleeping Bag, when used correctly, are one of the safest forms of bedding for your baby, toddler or child. The baby has complete freedom of movement within the Baby Sleeping Bag, the fitted neck and armholes ensure that there is no danger of either slipping down or out, provided the baby is placed in the correct size of Baby Sleeping Bag for their age and weight. Also where a suitable level of nightwear is worn, bub can sleep safely at a comfortable and constant temperature throughout the night.

Bubbaroo conducts exhaustive research and product testing to ensure that all the components of our Joey Swag Baby Sleeping Bags conform to the British Safety Standards and safety regulations. Our Joey Swags are also tested in accordance with Australian Standard AS/NZ 1249:2003 Children’s nightwear and limited daywear having reduced fire hazard.

We do not believe that sleep suits with feet enclosed should be used to walk around in as this is a trip hazard for a little one.  In addition, a sleep suit loses it's magic as a sleep cue if your little one is walking around in their bedding which is meant for sleep!

• A Joey Swag stops bub kicking off their covers, getting cold and waking themselves and the whole house up.
• A Joey Swag can’t be kicked over your baby’s head
• Bub won’t become tangled in a Joey Swag
• A Joey Swag keeps bub at a comfortable temperature for all sleeps whether day or night
• Your baby can wake up, move around their cot, and fall back to sleep their own without you having to keep rearranging the bedding.
• A Joey Swag is a great sleep cue and will become a part of bub’s regular bedtime routine, and will help your baby feel familiar, secure and confident and understand when it's time for bed, even when you’re away from home
• A Joey Swag may delay the age at which your baby is able to climb out of its cot.  Some bub’s never even attempt to climb out of a cot.  My kids never did and they were and still are very active.  They learnt that when they’re in their Joey Swag it was time for sleep!

The TOG rating describes the warmth or "Thermal Resistance" of a product and is widely used in the UK to explain warmth levels of duvets, doonas or quilts. Joey Swag Baby Sleeping Bags are TOG tested to conform to British Standard BS 8510:2009. It is recommended by Health professionals that Baby Sleeping Bags should be ‘lightweight' and to satisfy the new British Standard BS8510:2009. Baby Sleep Bags must be between 2.0TOG and 3.5 TOG for temperatures between 10°C and 20°C. As such our Platinum range of Joey Swags have a maximum TOG value of 2.5 TOG for the recommended ideal nursery temperature range of 15°C and 20°C.

Both our 1.5TOG and 2.5TOG Platiunum Joey Swag Baby Sleeping Bags are padded with Australian wool certified by Woolmark. Wool is a natural insulator and designed as nature intended to keep your little one at just the right temperature!

Our 2.5 TOG Platinum Joey Swag is ideal for Autumn, Winter and Spring and could be used right up until the days and nights become warm. If you little one’s room temperature is usually below 20°C, we recommend a 2.5 TOG Joey Swag.  

If you live in a warm climate or if you have well insulated and heated accommodation and little one’s room is usually 21°C or above, you may prefer a 1.5 TOG Platinum Joey Swag for year round use. Our 1.5 TOG Joey Swag is ideal for use from during Summer when bub’s room ranges from 20°C to 23°C. The 1.5 TOG Platinum Joey Swags are also handy in early Spring and Autumn for day-time naps whilst your baby is still in a 2.5TOG Joey Swag at night.

0.5 TOG Platinum Joey Swag Baby Sleeping Bag is for use when little one’s room is above 24°C, for summer holidays overseas, or if your child is unwell and has a high temperature.

What your baby wears will depend on the TOG of the Platinum Joey Swag Baby Sleeping Bag and the temperature of your baby's room, in just the same way as you would adjust nightclothes and the number of blankets. As a guide, please refer to the table below which provides a guide of what to wear with the Platinum Joey Swag. Please bear in mind that all babies are different and, just as with blankets and sheets, you will learn what your baby is most comfortable wearing. Once asleep, check baby’s temperature by placing a hand on baby’s chest to ensure they’re comfortably warm and not too hot. Your babies’ hands and feet are often too cold and are not indicative of bub’s core temperature. We provide a free door hanging temperature guide providing suggestions on what to wear with bub’s Joey Swag.

SIDS and Kids, the Lullaby Trust and Health Professionals recommend that the ideal room temperature for your baby is between 16°C and 20°C. Our 2.5 TOG Platinum Joey Swag Baby Sleeping Bags are designed to be used in this temperature range. If baby’s room is warmer or cooler, simply adjust the level of clothing your baby is wearing. During warmer weather, if baby’s room is between 20°C and 23C we recommend using our 1.5TOG which is made from organic 500 thread count cotton sateen exterior and lining padded with Australian Wool certified by Woolmark. During the summer months or in very warm climates we recommend using our 100% cotton 0.5 TOG Joey Swag.

The best way to keep baby’s room at around 18°C in the winter, without having to have the central heating or reverse cycle air conditioning going all night is a small thermostatically controlled heater. These can be purchased from a hardware or electrical store. Please ensure that the heater is well away from your baby’s cot and out of reach of your baby. Simply adjust the heater to come on when needed to maintain the ideal room temperature, thus saving time and money turning on and off the central heating or reverse cycle air conditioning. Please remember to remove the heater if your child can climb out of their cot.

If your baby has woken up because they are too cold, pick them up and adjust either the temperature of the room, or your baby's clothing. If your baby feels hot, you should cool them down by removing some clothing, then either adjust the temperature of the bedroom or the clothes your baby is wearing before returning them to their cot. If you think that your baby has woken due to being unwell then seek medical advice from a Healthcare Professional. You may find our Blog article 'Is my baby too hot or cold for sleep' useful

Our Platinum Joey Swag baby sleeping bags are made from 100% natural fibres.  Provided you follow the What to Wear guidelines on the back of Platinum Joey Swag Baby Sleeping Bag packaging, there should be no danger of your baby over-heating. Always keep your baby’s head uncovered NEVER use a hat or beanie. It is safest to use a Baby Sleeping Bag without sleeves and never use any clothing or bedding with a hood attached. Decrease the amount of sleepwear and bedding if your baby is unwell and has a high temperature. If you are in any doubt, please seek medical advice from a Healthcare Professional.

Babies come in all shapes and sizes and the most important thing is for you to feel confident that your baby is not in a Baby Sleeping Bag which might be too large for your baby.

Our 0-6 month size Joey Swag Baby Sleeping Bag is suitable from birth if your baby weighs 8lb 8oz (4kg) or more or from when your baby is this weight. The size 0-6 months will last until your baby is 6 months old and may well last longer as our Baby Sleeping Bags are the longest on the market.  Many babies are swaddled in their first few weeks or months of life until their startle reflex settles down. You can use our Joey Pouch Swaddling Wrap or Joey Pod Transitional Swaddle Bag to swaddle your baby for the first few months.
The 6-18 month size Joey Swag is suitable from when your baby is 18lb (8.1 kg) and is generously sized so may well last until your baby is between 18 and 24 months.
Our 18-36 month size Joey Swag is suitable from when your toddler weighs 25lb (11.4kg) and many toddlers are still wearing their Joey Swags after the age of 3 years.
We also have size 3-6 year Joey Swags available.

As the larger sizes last for at least a year, we recommend you buy at least 2 Joey Swags, this way you’ll always have a spare one if you need one suddenly!

Baby Sleeping Bags should be sleeveless to aid heat loss and air circulation. Babies sleeping under normal blankets rarely sleep with their arms covered. British Standard BS8510:2009 also states that Baby Sleeping Bags should be “without sleeves or hoods”. In cooler weather, we recommend long-sleeve bodysuits, in addition to a long-sleeved pyjama top, pyjamas or a sleepsuit.

Our Platinum Joey Swag Baby Sleeping Bags can be machine washed on a warm wash of 30°C. They can be line dried in the shade. The 0.5TOG Platinum Joey Swag can be tumble dried on a low setting. We have designed our Joey Swags to allow for up to 5% shrinkage as is the case with all cotton garments. If you wash your Joey Swags at a higher temperature, you should allow for more shrinkage. Please take into account the environment and if not dirty wash at 30°C!

When washing, keep the zip closed. You can iron your Joey Swags on low heat but always keep the iron away from the zip or covering the zip with a cloth.

We recommend that you wash dark colours separately for the first few washes. We also recommend that you wash your Joey Swag with detergent free from bleaching agents so they retain their original colours.

Joey Swag Baby Sleeping Bags can be used right up to the time your child is ready to move from a cot to a bed. A Joey Swag can also be used in a bed because of the freedom of movement they allow. Even though your toddler will happily stand up in a zipped Joey Swag, cot-climbing will not be easy, and your Joey Swag may delay the age at which you have to move your child to a bed - hooray! Our Joey Swags are available for children aged 3-6 years! It is important to note that this size is very generous – so don't consider the size 3-6 years until your child has grown out of the 18-36 month size Joey Swag.

You should use a Joey Swag instead of traditional blankets and sheets. The only other bedding required is a fitted bottom sheet. The Platinum Joey Swags come in 3 TOG/warmth ratings for your individual baby and the temperature of your baby’s sleep environment. Duvets, doonas, quilts and pillows should not be used for babies under 1 year old and never with a Baby Sleeping Bag. SIDS and Kids and the Lullaby Trust recommend that the safest place for your baby to sleep is in their own cot or crib in your room for the first 6-12 months. If bub shares your bed, please ensure they are only in a Joey Swag, and not under your own bedding as well. It is important to note that Joey Swags are designed to replace blankets and sheets in your baby's cot or bed or when out and about strapped into a pram or a car seat. Baby Sleeping Bags are not intended to be used as dressing gowns or pyjamas. Walking around in a Baby Sleeping Bag is a safety hazard and negates the use of a Joey Swag as a sleep cue and use as part of a regular bedtime routine.

Important: never use your Joey Swag Baby Sleep Bag with a duvet, doona or quilt.

Babies grow significantly between 6 months and 3 years and we believe that it is not safe to develop a Baby Sleep Bag that would fit, and be safe for, both a 6 month old baby and a 3 year old toddler. In the first 6 months of life, babies grow at the greatest rate and then their rate of growth slows down gradually. This is why our smallest size Joey Swag 0-6months will last for 6 months, our size 6-18months lasts for a whole year, and our size 18-36months lasts for 18 months.

The key safety point is to ensure that babies cannot slip down inside the Baby Sleeping Bag. As such the neck size has been designed to be as large as possible to allow for comfort and heat loss, whilst being smaller than the average head circumference of the younger age/lower weight of baby for the Joey Swag Baby Sleeping Bag. The new British Standard BS8510:2009 for Baby Sleeping Bags is based on average head circumference linked to average weight. Most new parents do not know the head circumference of their bub but they keep track of their bub’s weight and this is why weight is used as a guide.

You must always ensure that your baby's head can’t slip down and get covered by any bedding, whether that bedding is a Joey Swag Baby Sleeping Bag, blankets or sheets.

The size 0-6 months Joey Swag Baby Sleeping Bag can be used for a full-term, 8lb 8oz (4kg) baby from birth. However, if your baby weighs less than 8lb 8oz (4kg) at birth, we recommend you wait a short time, until your baby grows. For the first few weeks and for babies under 8lb 8oz (4kg), we recommend the Joey Pouch Swaddling Bag as a safe and easy alternative for your baby. Our 0-6 month size Joey Swag includes under-arm press studs (YKK brand) to reduce the size of the armholes for babies up to 10lbs (4.5kg).

Our highly safe, functional and chic range of Platinum Joey Swags are made from 100% natural fibres using organically grown 500 thread count cotton sateen with our 1.5 TOG and 2.5TOG Platinum Joey Swags being padded with Australian Wool carrying the Woolmark logo. My journey in establishing Bubbaroo follows in close step with my first child’s sleep story.
