The Ehrenkind baby sleeping bag proved its quality in the practical test. The zip works smoothly and without blockages, and the cuffs show excellent elasticity, returning almost completely to their original shape after stretching. Even after repeated washing, the shape, colour and structure of the sleeping bag remain unchanged. We were particularly impressed by the perfect fit and the unrestricted freedom of movement that babies enjoy while sleeping. All seams were tight and without any visible defects, which once again confirms the high-quality workmanship. However, additional padding on the zips could be improved to protect the baby’s skin even better.

On the Amazon platform, consumers rate the Ehrenkind baby sleeping bag with an average of 4.5 stars. Customers particularly praise the quality and softness of the sleeping bag as well as the workmanship and the organic cotton used. The design and freedom of movement are also mentioned positively.

The freedom of movement and workmanship were convincing, while the zip was rated as in need of improvement.
Prices of up to €66.90 are charged on the internet for equivalent products. Very affordable products are available from as little as €18.00 . The Ehrenkind baby sleeping bag is therefore currently in the middle price segment with a price of €45.90. For the quality and performance received, the price-performance ratio is very good.
