Sleep sacks with sleeves can be safe, but it's essential to use them correctly. Ensure that the sleeves are well-fitted and not too tight around the baby's arms to prevent restricted movement or discomfort. Additionally, select a sleep sack made of breathable fabric to avoid overheating. Always follow the manufacturer's guidelines for size, age, and proper use. If you have concerns or are unsure, consult with your pediatrician before using a sleep sack with sleeves for your child.
Sleep sacks can be a safe option for 2 year olds if used properly. Look for sacks designed for toddlers with features like wear-resistant seams, reinforced openings, and breathable fabrics to prevent overheating.

Some 2 year olds may be ready for loose blankets instead.
