Safety:  The sudden, unexplained death of a baby under the age of 12 months is known as SIDS. While little is known about the condition, it has been discovered that factors such as putting a baby to sleep face down or even using extremely soft bedding can increase the risk of SIDS

Parents have been putting their infants to sleep in sleeping bags as a result of preventative measures guidelines warning against putting them to sleep with blankets.  The sleeping bags are basically sleeveless sacks that protect the shoulders and contain the rest of the body, with the arms on the outside to keep the sack from rising over the head.

Why a front down zip works well for a sleeping bag:

There are many reasons that a sleep bag should still have a front zipper. It advises parents and guardians to place the baby on his or her back to sleep peacefully. For example, many research has suggested that if a baby is rocked to sleep and then placed in a front zip sleep bag, the parents/carers will place the baby on its back. If the zip is on the side, parents/caregivers should place the sleeping baby on its stomach and zip the sleep bag up around them. With a side zip, parents/carers can fail to completely zip the sleep bag, resulting in a rather large neck space and the risk of the baby slipping inside.
