I had the girls two years apart but both were born in the middle of Summer! It was very hot for me having a huge belly but it was also very hot for the girls once they were born. They mostly lived in singlets, nappies and their light wraps. However, sometimes the wraps just weren’t enough and they were like most little ones, talented houdini’s. You would usually find their arms flapping about when you went back to check on them.
So four years ago I started searching for a solution to stop the first little houdini, Miss C and discovered sleeping bags. I did lots and lots of research before I bought my first sleeping bag. I wanted it to be made of natural fibers. I wanted it to be generous in size. I wanted it to be easy to wash and quick to dry. I also wanted it to be comfortable for the kids to wear and last a long time, since kids grow so quickly!!
After looking at all the brands available at the time, I ended up choosing a Woolbabe from one of my regular shopping haunts, The Sleep Store. Little did I know at the time, just how fantastic this sleeping bag would be and how I would use still use them 4 years later!
My first sleeping bag purchase was the Side Zip 3-Season Woolbabe in Toffee Apple. The 3-Season has proved to be perfect for Queensland. Miss C used it throughout Spring, Autumn and the beginning of Winter. From when she was 3 months it was being used everyday, so I invested in a Sky Blue too. They were being washed everyday and they dried quickly ready to be used again that day or evening. They still look and work perfectly, just as they did when I bought them 4 years ago. A real testament to their quality.
Since then I have invested in 2 more Winter front-zip duvet Woolbabe sleeping bags that have keep both girls warm and sung during the cold winter nights. Perfect for kids who like to kick the doona off! However, the one time of year I hadn’t been able to use the Woolbabe was the middle of Summer. It was just to hot to use the 3-Season in Queensland, especially during Christmas and New Years. But they still needed a light sheet for the wee hours of the morning when it gets a little cool.
We still had the problem of sheets being kicked off and top sheets really weren’t an option when they were in the cot for safety reasons, so I was excited to learn about the latest Woolbabe release. The Summer Woolbabe!
The Sleep Store were lovely enough to to send me one to try out when I heard about them and knew they would be perfect for those hot Summer nights.
The Summer Woolbabe has the same great features of the other Woolbabe sleeping bags but the material is lightweight and like a light shirt and feels lovely on the skin.
It is:
- Machine washable and can be put in the tumble dryer on low
- Generous overall size and the 3 months (approx 6 kg) to 24 months fits well on Miss S and there is a 2 -4 years available too.
- Designed for travel with a travel slot for buggy and carseat.
- Low Fire Danger for peace of mind
- Made with a quality double front-zip for ease of changing nappies and getting it off and on
- Made with domes under the arms so you can make it fit snug on all little ones
- It can be used from about 24 to 32 degree room temperature
- Made from 1 layer of 100% natural fabric. 30% super fine merino/70% soft cotton blend fabric.
The sleeping bag has a lovely stretch to it, so when Miss S rolls over it moves with her. The fabric is super soft, not scratchy at all and feels lovely on the skin. The Merino helps regulate body temperature so she doesn’t end up sweaty and uncomfortable. All the Woolbabe sleeping bags do this and they perform exceptionally well. I have used it a lot recently, as some of the mornings have been a little cool just on dawn. The only days we haven’t used it was when it was 37 degrees while we were camping!
All our Woolbabe sleeping bags have lasted incredibly well and we have taken them to the USA, New Zealand and they have traveled with us throughout Australia. The quality is amazing, the fabrics are natural which is very important to me and they are priced very well too. Plus you can often pick up specials and discounts at The Sleep Store!

This would be perfect for our little man, as we have recently moved to a place that get’s extremely cold in the winter time.
All three of my kids have loved their sleeping bags.
Woolbabes are the best! I only wish I’d discovered them sooner and not bought all those other sleeping bags!
What a great site!!! It is even full of useful articles as well as fantastic products!
Right from a newborn my son loved to be wrapped and now he loves his sleeping bags. The sleep store website is wonderful and I wish I had have known about it when shopping for wraps. We went through so many brands and styles trying to find the perfect fit for my son, I trekked all over my city looking in different stores. To have it all is one place is fantastic.
such a great idea, all their products are gorgeous!
i love to browse your products, they are gorgeous
I was really lucky to find the perfect sleeping bag the first time I went online shopping.. a winter and summer Woolbabe twinpack from The Sleep Store, back in early 2011! They were in use constantly until my daughter grew too tall for them. Baby 2 is due in June, and I’d love to get a brand new Woolbabe for the cold Granite belt winter nights.. it’s going to be cold for both of us for those frequent night feeds – they don’t make them in adult size too do they??
Love these things. Thanks for all the giveaways.
This would be great for our little miss (17 months) who will not keep a sheet or blanket on!
The Sleep Store have got it right with this fantastic Woolbabe Sleeping Bag. How comfy, for the little ones. Great prize. Thanks too, to Divine Finds
Love sleeping bags for little ones! These look like a top quality product!
My little one can’t fall asleep without sleeping bag. If I won, I’m sure he would fall in love with his new sleeping bag, because it looks so comfy.
Awesome comp
Fantastic product
My baby is a premmie by 5 weeks so these sleeping bags are perfect for keeping him warm even in summer
These sleeping bags are brilliant
I havent tried sleeping bags – but my baby loves to swaddle and will soon be too big to fit in them! so this must be the next step up!
style and comfort for the bub sleepstore never fails
Sleeping bags are without doubt the best invention ever! And i love the idea of the woolbabe sleeping bags for all seasons…brilliant design!
Brilliant idea to keeps bubs evenly insulated against the heat and/or cold depending on the season with either the summer or winter sleeping bags
Love the Swaddle Ups too.
The seem to feel safer wrapped and in bags – what a great idea.

I am definitely going to need a sleeping bag for my 1 year old this winter. We moved her into a coold room! Look forward to seeing how this one may be!

Since having my last child 10 years ago I’m having so much fun discovering all these new products!
Definitely need one of these, onto the check list it goes!
30% super fine merino, sounds wonderful. Machine washable as well, wow.
Love the fact that this sleeping bag is great for 3 seasons, nice colour choices too.

What a great idea, thank you for the chance to win.
They look awesome. I can’t wait to buy my daughter some!.
These are such a great gift for a new baby

Those sleeping bags look great. They would help when my 6 mth old kicks his sheet and blanket off.
Those sleeping bags look great. They would help when my 6 mth old kicks his sheet and blanket off.
Do they make them in adult sizes? I’d love one for myself…
Such a great idea! my little one loves to kick and roll and im always worried he will suffocate!
Love these.
Great site. Nice to see something different.
I have fallen in love with the baby hammocks
Love that woolbabes are the best sleeping bags around for babies as they are made from natural fibres.
Been told these sleeping bags are brilliant, wanting one for my night time blanket kicker.
My four month old is just discovering he has feet, so kicks the sheets off within minutes of being put to bed. I love the idea of the summer Woolbabe – it means this mum sleeps better knowing those little tootsies are covered if the air turns cool overnight (which it does quite quickly where we live).
I’m a huge fan of The Sleep Store and have been thinking about getting a Woolbabe for my son – think it might help our sleep issues! Wouldn’t that be nice lol
These bags look super comfy!
