The Bubbaroo Joey Swag Baby Sleeping Bag

Since beginning our sleep diary with Bubbaroo we have been using the Joey Swag baby sleeping bags. –  I particularly love the quirky name of the Joey Swag. In Australia, a swag is a term used to describe a portable sleeping unit or a bundle of belongings, and of course a Joey is a baby Kangaroo. Pretty clever, huh?

Bubbaroo is a an Australia brand created by mum of two Nicole, selling an extensive range of boutique baby sleepwear Nicole grew Bubbaroo based on her own experiences as a mother.

I’ve always been paranoid that Taylor would pull a blanket over his face whilst asleep and opted for sleeping bags as a result of this. – Having used numerous brands of baby sleeping bags from supermarket own brands to popular baby brands I’ve found the Joey Swag to boast more features than all rolled into one whilst complying to British Standard BS 8510:2009 Safety standards.

My favourite feature, which may seem small, is the ability to use the Joey Swag with a 3 or 5 point harness. A feature as simple as a velcro opening in the back, allowing a buckle to be pushed into the sleeping bag, gives you the ability to use the sleeping bag on prams and car seats without compromising on safety.

Theirs nothing worse than getting home late and having to move a baby from their car seat to their bed whilst attempting to put them into a sleeping bag. The ability to put little ones in their sleeping bag before you set off makes this a much smoother transition!  The two-way zipper system also allows for easy nappy changes.

We started using the 1.0 tog bags which are light weight and perfect for cooler weather. As winter drew nearer and Taylor’s bedroom was dropping in temperature we moved onto the 2.5 tog Joey Swag which provided more warmth on chilly nights. Upon changing to a higher tog we immediately saw a difference and our routine took effect once again. 

The Joey Swag comes with a temperature guide and handy door hanger so you know which tog you require, getting the tog correct really does make a difference. Taylor now sleeps 7:00pm – 6:00am in the Joey Swag, amazing considering he previously slept 10:00pm – 5:00am with an average of 3 wake ups a night.

The Joey Swag looks and feels like a high quality product and has contributed greatly to our new routine. Taylor knows it’s bed time when he’s put into his bag and will happily sit in it whilst we go through our routine. We wouldn’t be without it!

The Bubbaroo Joey Swag bags start at £24.95 for a lightweight tog bag and go up to a 3.5 tog, available in a  range of colours the Joey Swag bags can be purchased on the Bubbaroo website
