Every now and then it hits me just how quickly Keira is growing up. Yesterday she was wandering around the house with a pink Hello Kitty purse over her shoulder pretending to shop for groceries, and I realized she’s not a baby anymore. She’s turning into a big kid right in front of my eyes!
Even though Keira’s growing up, she still sleeps in her crib sidecarred to our bed, and this child is a restless sleeper. It’s not uncommon for me to wake up with her feet in my stomach or stretched across me. A regular blanket wouldn’t last an hour on her, so I keep her warm with a wearable blanket every night. I’ve used Halo SleepSacks with both my girls since birth, and they’ve always kept my babies safe as well as warm.
As Keira gets older and more mobile, the next logical step is to move up to the Big Kids style of SleepSack with foot openings. I received this micro-fleece HALO Sleepsack Big Kids in size 2-3 years for review. This style of SleepSack looks oversized, but it’s important to remember that it’s a wearable blanket, not a sleeper. It’s designed to be roomy enough for kids to pull their feet in at bedtime and kick and move their feet around inside it. Keira’s only 19 months old, so this SleepSack has lots of room to grow into. I think she’ll be able to wear it until she transitions to a toddler bed and real blankets.
The foot openings are genius. Other wearable blankets can only be used in bed, but with these foot openings, Keira can wear her Big Kids SleepSack while she’s playing or snuggled up reading stories with me, and she stays warm yet still mobile. She had a similar SleepSack Early Walker in a smaller size so she already knew to stick her feet through the openings for easy walking. Keira loves the adorable little elephant applique on the front and often gives it a couple of hello pats when I first put the SleepSack on her. The zipper zips from the bottom for easy diaper changes in the middle of the night. The only thing is, while I like that feature right now, I’m not sure how well the reverse zipper will work when we start potty training.
The Early Walker and Big Kids SleepSacks come in micro-fleece (like the one I reviewed), comfort mesh (Early Walker only), and now in a new lightweight knit fabric. I like that I can choose different weight options depending on the season. HALO SleepSacks are made from 100% polyester and very reasonably priced. While I usually prefer natural materials, one bonus of using micro-fleece is that if Keira’s diaper leaks a little, the fleece repels the moisture and helps keep the sheets dry. The material is soft to the touch and easy to care for. Just throw the SleepSack in the washing machine with like colours. Plus I love how quickly the fleece dries!

We’ve been using our Sleep sack for well over a year now….about to order the Big Kids size.
Oh this is so cool! I didn’t actually know that HALO did SleepSacks for bigger kids. My son is 20 months and I’d love to get him a big kids SleepSack. Most of his pajamas are two piece sets these days, and he always kicks his blankets off at night and then his feet get cold and he wakes up. This would be a great solution for him.
I didn’t know they had them for toddlers – my daughter is nearly growing out of her early walker ones!
I love these they are so cute and my nieces would love them great gifts for Christmas.
I had no idea they made pajamas too. The ComfortLuxe sleepwear looks nice.
I learned that they make sleep sacks for toddlers, special ones for toddlers that have already started walking.
I love that they have so many different choices of materials , lightweight knit, comfort mesh, and microfleece! Perfect for all the different seasons we have here
These Big Kid Sleepsacks are awesome!
I love so many things from HALO, my favorite item is the Organic Cotton Infant Swaddle SleepSack. My first baby is due next month and I love reading up on all the great baby wear and gear available.
I never realized that they had Sleepsacks for toddler and big kids. Would love the one with the train on it for my nephew since he loves his Choo-Choo’s!
I had no idea they also made pajamas! Cute too.
We love the Halo sleep sacks for our son who is now 15 months. I’m thrilled to learn about the early walkers series and can’t wait to try it!
I like that it is basically a blanket that can’t be kicked off, ensuring that baby stays comfy and warm.
oh wow I didn’t know they made the sleep sacks up to a 5t!
How cool that there is a ‘big’ kid size?! I would love if they made the swaddle sleep sac for longer/bigger kids as well š
I learned that they make big kid sizes.
I love the HALOĀ® SleepSackĀ® 2-Piece Velboa Gift Set | Pink Flowers!
i really like their pajamas – both the design and the fabrics
I like that they make things for bigger kids. My son sleeps better with his HALO Sleepsac. Still swaddled.
I love the Big Kids Sleep Sacks.
Thanks for the chance.
I love that they make sleep sacks for bigger kids too! I read about hip dysplasia. I never knew that it was more likely to affect first born girls. My oldest daughter was breech (which is supposedly also a risk factor) and she had a hip click when she was super young too but it all sorted itself out very quickly. We swaddled her but we knew to swaddle with her legs not straight
I also like the Swaddle Changing Pad Cover
I would love to have their PureNight Pure Air System! You can slide it under the bed!
i like that they make them for big kids, not just for babies
I like the HALOĀ® SleepSackĀ® Big Kids Lightweight Knit | Truck
I adore the 100% cotton sleepsack in Rugby Red
I really like the early walkers, I wish I had one of these with my first baby. I also like the wearable blanket.
I didnāt know that HALO sold SleepSacks for bigger kids
These are so neat! The bedroom where our toddler is going to be moving soon is very cold at night no matter what we do and this would be a great option!
I really like that they come in several different fabric choices so you can customize your sleepsack choice to fit your climate and the season.
I like the HALOĀ® SleepSackĀ® Wearable Blanket 100% Cotton | Stripes Elephant
