In conjunction with good supervision it can help with all of the above, and more.

DANGERS OF HOMEMADE/COPYCAT VERSIONS of the Safe T Sleep® Sleepwrap®
You could be tempted to make your own Sleepwrap or buy a ‘copy cat’ version. You may ‘get it right’ OR you may also be playing with baby’s safety.
The Safe T Sleep® Sleepwrap® has a 100% success record since 1992 with no injuries or fatalities. Consider that with a homemade, copycat you do not have the Peace of Mind that the original, tested and proven product can give. If something did happen you may find it difficult to come to terms with that. Consider that as the safe product life span is four years, over four years the cost works out at less than a cup of coffee a month! Is it worth the risk? It is always wise to use only TESTED/PROVEN baby safety products.
The main concerns include: incorrect, untested fabric, fastening strips and dimensions all of which may place babies at risk.


• The Safe T Sleep Sleepwrap product fabric was tested alongside five other types of cotton for a specific rating, measuring the strength and breathability of the weave. This is especially important for young babies in the high SIDS (cot death) risk period, especially in hot climates.


• Extensive trials and dimension testing ensures that babies limbs cannot become entangled and that the product cannot bunch up into a narrow cord, which could cause localised pressure around the baby’s torso or chest. This could cause breathing restriction.
• Weave testing and Hospital laundry testing also established the durability of the fabric and the length of safe product usage. This is established to be 4years.
