Review on 🛌 Merino Kids Sleep Bag for Toddlers 2-4 Years - Enhanced SEO by Christy Jordan

Just bought Merino Kids and Woolino in toddler (2-4) sizes. Woolino was lilac grey, Merino Kids was turtledove (light grey). We have several Merino Kids bags in sizes (0-2) and we love them, so we already know how good these wool bags are. However, I have never owned a Woolino so I decided to buy both toddler sized to compare. To be honest they are very similar (95% overlap). Here are the differences between them: * SIZE: Almost identical, but the Woolino is slightly narrower and longer (although the difference is less than 1 inch, negligible IMO) * WEIGHT/WARMTH: Similar, but the Woolino (standard weight) is somewhat heavier. / thicker than Merino Kids (standard weight). Based on that, I reckon it will be a bit warmer.* CLOSURES: Woolino snaps on both shoulders, Merino Kids on only one. a child's hand in Merino Kids size, but I find the double closures on the Woolino a real advantage. If you have a really naughty child, that difference alone can be significant. ie a disposable zipper that should be threaded under the left arm) in toddler size. In baby size, Woolino has a zipper that doesn't need to be tucked in every time, but there is no difference in toddler sizes. * ZIPPER LENGTH: One big difference, however, is that the Woolino Toddler's ZIPPER LENGTH is FULL LENGTH (reaches to the bottom left edge of the bag when you look at it), while the Merino Kids' zipper is about 15cm shorter. Merino Kids were full-length in kid size, but I suspect they were lazy in toddler size. Too bad, because this shortcoming (reinforced by the fact that the second shoulder does not open) makes it impossible for toddlers to fully open the Merino Kids. IMHO this is a useless feature for this age and can actually be a pain in the ass if your child gets their feet stuck in it like I did in the baby size. The Woolino opening has velcro on the front but not on the back. Merino Kids has no closure.* CUT HOLES: Merino Kids has a closure that allows you to adjust the size of the armholes. It's not Vulino. This makes a BIG difference for me as I plan to use this on a very petite 20 month old girl (just past her Merino Kids size). The Woolino arm slits on her are HUGE and I'm worried the fabric might pile up on her face while she sleeps. In contrast, the Merino Kids with the button closure fits perfectly and I have no security concerns. * ONE PIECE VS. TWO-PIECE: Merino Kids' exterior is two-piece front and back while Woolino is one-piece. I personally like the look of the Merino Kids better (where the stripes on the chest and body run in opposite directions) and I find that the chest cut on the Merino Kids suits the chest a bit better. but that's just personal preference. To be honest I think both are great products and you will be happy with either one (and pick the cheaper one). However, if you really need adjustable armholes for a small child, you can reach for Merino Kids. On the other hand, if you have a big kid and easy on and off is your top priority, I'd probably recommend the Woolino for the double shoulder buttons and full zip. Also, the Woolino's slightly warmer weight can be an important consideration for people living in particularly hot or cold climates. to make the right decision. I'm also attaching a photo of our Merino Kids 0-2 (which have shrunk a bit over time although never tumble dried; new ones are said to be 34" and ours are 27.5") compared to our new Merino. 2-4 years old children to give you an idea of the relative size. Much luck!
