I bought this because it does not have buttons and that is safer for a baby. I do have a heavy, lined, outside pattern for a sleeping bag or cocoon with buttons, but as I wouldn't leave the child in it for too long, I am okay with that. I can also leave this lighter sleeping bag without the hood as we have from very cold to moderate to very hot weather here.
Perfect! Exactly what I’ve been looking for. Thank you ☺️
