Halo Sleep Wearable Blankets Review


Blankets are not recommended for babies due to the risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome. Luckily, there is a safe alternative that keeps babies warm during the cold winter months. The HALO Sleep Sack is one of the best selling sleep sacks in the United States. As more research supported the idea that blankets may contribute to SIDS, and studies showed that babies who wear sleep sacks have a lower risk of SIDS. A HALO Sleep Sack is essentially a wearable blanket made with cotton or fleece.

Pediatricians advise parents to avoid putting blankets in their babies cribs. Although once a child is older the SIDS risk lowers, many parents rather take the safe route and continue to use sleep sacks rather than blankets well into toddlerhood. Another advantage of using a sleep sack is that babies and toddlers move around so much in their sleep that a blanket could easily slip off of them, leaving them cold the rest of the night. With the use of a sleep sack, parents can rest easy knowing that their baby is warm and safe all night.

If you go to the store in search of sleep sacks for your baby, you may notice the vast array of options you may encounter. What distinguishes HALO Sleep Sacks from other sleep sack brands is that HALO Sleep Sacks are made of the best quality materials there are. The zippers are not cheaply made like some other brands, but rather sturdy, secure, and easy to use. Another great quality of HALO Sleep Sacks is that they are sleeveless, allowing parents to decide which pajamas are appropriate to wear under depending on the temperature so that your little one is comfortable enough for a full night’s rest. In regards to safety, the sleeveless aspect of HALO sleep sacks also ensures that your baby will not re-breathe air from fabric on his or her arm which could be a SIDS risk.

HALO Sleep Sacks are more expensive than traditional baby blankets.  Some parents don’t like the reverse zipper on the HALO Sleep Sacks, which zips from top to bottom, but I have found that it is easy to get accustomed to. The manufacturer also maintains that the reverse zipper is safer and also more difficult for the baby to unzip. Although I wasn’t sure sleep sacks were worth the money, I have been convinced that HALO Sleep Sacks are a must have item for parents of infants. Who wouldn’t want an item that makes nighttime routines much shorter and efficient? Not only do they keep babies safe and secure at night, but also provide the warmth babies need during those cold winter months. I would recommend the HALO Sleep Sack for it’s safety qualities, relative ease of use, and durability.
