Sizes, togs and what to wear

Choosing a size




An ideal time to start using a baby sleeping bag is when your baby weighs more than 7 lbs (0-6 mths size). It is very important to check that your baby’s head cannot pass through the neck-hole when the baby sleeping bag is fastened for use. Please remember that there are recommendations only as all babies are different. You will soon discover the best level of clothing for your individual baby.

Make sure that your baby’s legs and feet have freedom to move about, by ensuring that the baby sleeping bag is long enough for your baby. The lengths of baby sleeping bags (from shoulder to bottom) are:

0-6 m 76cm
6-18 m 94cm
18-36m 112cm
3-6yrs 128cm

Choosing a Tog

A tog measurement is a European warmth rating: the higher the tog, the warmer the product. grobag® baby sleeping bags are available in three tog ratings.



Please note that only the 2.5 Tog range is available from the SIDS and Kids website. Please visit www.grobag.com.au for the extended range.

Please note: A number of external factors determine the tog rating of the sleeping bag that should be used. These include the quantity of clothing the baby is wearing, the temperature of the infant’s bedroom, the baby’s health and the amount of bedding necessary to keep an individual infant warm – this may vary as it does for adults.

Check your baby regularly to ensure they do not overheat.
