My 20 month old is 99% for height and still has not really caught on how to use a blanket. He also overheats really easily. We were using the Halo cotton and muslim sleepsacks, but he's pretty much outgrown them. We inherited some woolino ones as hand me downs, which I know are supposed to be really nice, but he overheated really badly in them. Any suggestions for a sleepsack or wearable blanket that will fit a large 2 year old, and will provide some warmth for winter without being too heavy? I think there was a post on toddler sleepsacks a few months ago, but for some reason I can't find it now....

My DD has always been 99%, once she outgrew regular sleepsacks we switched to the Halo big kid sleepsacks that have openings for the feet. She just wore thick socks. It comes in a 2-3T or 4-5T. They come in a light fabric or fleece.

We also use the Halo big-kid sleep sacks with the feet holes for my tall 21 month old! She doesn't keep a blanket on yet and we keep our house a little cooler.

@catgirl: @kayla0416: Awesome, thank you!!!

Same vote here. DS didn't even need socks because he just didn't stick his feet through the holes. For comparison, the big kid sleepsack could still be worn when he was outgrowing the toddler section and moving into the big kid clothing section.

If your kiddo really prefers an actual sleep sack no feet holes I've had good luck with etsy and you can specify fabric, size, and even if they have arms or are just tank style.

@MrsSRS: @snarkybiochemist: Thank you!!!

Great timing! I have a 99% 16 mo old who is outgrowing her current sack and for sure isn't ready for a blanket. O was so tiny we never had this issue.

We bought him some XL sleep sacks on Amazon that worked up through age 2.5, but they're out of stock right now. You can find a bunch of others.

We use Kyte Baby sleep sacks and love them, double check the sizing. My daughter is 15 months and 90% for height and she still has room in the 6-18 months one (close to outgrowing). The nice part is they are bamboo so breath and they have 3 different weights to choose from. We have been very happy with them and I have the 18-36 month size waiting for winter.

I got my 2 year old a cotton sleepsack off amazon with feet holes so that the sizing didn’t matter as much. I got him a 24-36month soze size though. He overheats easily, but also gets cold easily and hasn’t figured out the blanket on his bed in the 5 months he has been in the big bed with it so I will be putting the sleep sack back on as the weather gets colder. It’s a slumbersac brand sleep sack and is only 1.0tog so it will be worn with long sleeved cotton pjs and socks.

I asked this same question a couple months ago
We ended up with Kyte Baby in 18-36 months like @MACSUNSHINE: mentioned. They're extremely soft and DD2 seems to love them. We're in GA so still using the lighter weight one, but I have 2 heavier ones for winter. One thing about them, though, is I have already noticed a few small holes in the lining from washing which I know is common with organic fabrics. Doesn't affect their use but I was surprised how soon they showed up. We bought ours during a big sale - not sure how often they do them but it brought them down to a reasonable rate.

Hudson Baby makes muslin sleep sacks and they are huge. My 37 inch 4 year old can fit in a 18-24 month size.
