Amazing customer service. I was given the wrong tog sleep suit and they very quickly rectified it with the right one. The quality is next level. Keeps my boy very warm and comfortable. Highly recommend. Show details
Love the Ergopouch sleep sack, but not overly happy with the quality of the material. We bought one 2 weeks ago, it’s been washed twice (according to instructions) and the material looks like it’s been worn for years. I have clothes from my own childhood 30 years ago that looks better than this does after 2 washes. And our baby is now 6 months,… Read more
can’t imagine what one would have looked like if we used one the first 2 months with the constant blow outs and daily washes.
Appauling customer service what a joke. Been waiting 2 days for a response as to WHY the sizing is so off for exactly the same size. the 2.5 and 3.5 tog bags are heaps different. When emailed via their website and messaging the AI bot NOthing has come back. So went on instagram and whoever is controlling that needs to go back to customer service… Read more

I recently purchased two Ergo Pouch swaddle bags in the same size (0000 newborn) but noticed a significant difference in measurements between them—one being 50cm long and the other 54cm. The stitching patterns were also different, which added to my confusion about whether I had received the correct items. The swaddles themselves seem like great… Read more
quality, although I am yet to use, so the issue right now doesn’t lie with the product.
I reached out to customer service, and while they responded, they repeatedly focused on a standard 1.5-2cm manufacturing tolerance rather than acknowledging the 4cm discrepancy I was seeing and told me to just wait until my baby is born to see which on fits. She said next time I should adhere to sizing guidelines. I just didn’t expect to order two swaddles, and for them to arrive 4cm difference in size, along with different stitching. They also avoided clearly addressing my questions about the stitching differences, only mentioning in the final email that their products come from two different manufacturers.
While I appreciate handmade variations, a 4cm size difference in newborn sleepwear is quite significant, and clearer communication from the start would have helped. I was left uncertain about what I had actually received and what to expect in future orders. The ‘customer service specialist ‘ said it shouldn’t matter because it doesn’t impact function , only I ordered two of the same product and assumed they would be the same.
Considering I spent over $100 on these pouches, I expected better customer service. She wasn’t outright rude and attempted to be polite on the surface, but definitely dismissive and lacked any effort to help a customer. This experience has made me hesitant to purchase from Ergo Pouch again purely due to the poor customer service.
Too short and no customer service – I bought two sleep suits that are 8-24 months for sizing. My son is not even 14 months old and the sleep suits are so short his feet press against the bottom. When I tried to get through to customer service they said that I bought them in the outlet online so there is nothing they will do for me. This should fit considering it should be up to 24… Read more
months! Even at the outlet I still paid $39 for one and $49 for the other. Thanks for nothing, the customer service was non existent. These aren’t cheap and obviously made incorrectly. I have a photo for proof of sizing too.

Beautiful, warm and organic, but runs small – ErgoPouch have got the art of temperature-for-sleep down to a T. In fact, their whole product range of TOG rated sleep pouches and clothing slots nicely into specific room temperature ranges, which is displayed in the free Room Thermometer and What to Wear Guide that comes with an ErgoPouch (which is really just a card - see photo). Really appeals… Read more
to parents with analytical minds who love to be organised!
Ergopouch cleverly markets their whole system as a solution for sleep - for both babies and parents. Room temperature is one thing, cluster feeding is another…
PROS
TOG rated Organic material feels beautiful and warm The ErgoCocoon is versatile: a swaddle which transforms into a sleeping bag via snap buttons at arm holes (see photo) Easy to dress baby in it Classic, timeless graphics to suit most tastes Excellent, organised system to ensure your baby is wearing the right weighted ErgoPouch with or without a onesie or singlet (easy to figure out on the card) Baby seems comfortable in it, with arms swaddled in or out through the arm holes
CONS
Runs small. My baby is fairly average in size; I purchased size 000 which is meant for ages 0 to 3 months. He is 6.5 weeks and the ErgoCocoon is already snug. I can’t really use it as a swaddle anymore as it’s too tight. Purchase size up!
The material is starting to pill after a few washes.
Questionable materials, terrible service! – I gave up on this product nearly 4 years ago but I still laugh about my customer service experience today so thought it was worth writing a review. I didn't have any troubles with the arm holes or hand escaping through neck holes, however my baby would suck on anything she could get into her mouth, so she sucked on the zipper through the hood.… Read more
It quickly became obvious that there was some sort of chemical reaction happening causing a vivid blue discolouration to affect the cotton. My concern was that my daughter was ingesting whatever this substance was.
I wrote to the manufacturer hoping they could shed some light or offer a solution. After a string of emails they came back with the following:
1. We don't know what this is.
2. No one else has had this problem (read: it's not us, it's you.)
3. Unzip it so that she can't get it into her mouth (I'm sorry, WHAT?!!!)
4. We don't know.
By way of comparison, I had a minor flaw with a sleep sack that I purchased in the following months. The manufacturer replaced it without a question asked.
I never did find out what that zipper was made of.
Good choice for swaddling baby at home – This is a great product if you're looking for a zip up swaddle to use for your newborn bub. We purchased our Ergococoon from Toys r Us when our little girl was 3 weeks old. I was looking for something which I could use in the car and this was the only one they had in stock which said it could be used in the car - which it can - but you have to… Read more
take the arms out which kind of defeats the purpose of swaddling (in my opinion). Having said that - If I'd paid closer attention to the box when I bought it , I would have noticed this. However, it is still a good swaddle to use at home or whenever you don't need to transfer bub to a carseat or pram. It is soft against babies skin, organic which is fantastic for the environment and bub looks pretty darn cute while wearing it. The snaps at the arms will also be good when the time comes to transition bub from swaddle sleeping to sleeping bag sleeping. The main downside i've found is that it doesn't allow bub to self sooth - my little one loves to suck her hands and this swaddle doesn't allow her to do that. Sometimes she sleeps fine while wearing it but at other times she wakes herself up because she can't get her hand to her mouth and becomes frustrated. I also have the "love to dream swaddle up" and I've found it to be a much better all-round swaddle as the hands up position allows bub to be transferred to car and pram without having to remove arms from the swaddle and allows bub to self sooth. But, this is still a good product for what it is. Snaps at armholes allow you transition bub from swaddle sleeping to sleeping bag sleeping. Arms tucked in doesn't allow bub to self sooth, can't use in a car without taking arms out, thus removing the swaddled effect.

Ergopouch 4ever – I’m surprise at all the negative reviews! I LOVE ergopouch. It’s given me peace of mind being a first time mum that bub is always kept warm through winter being a July baby! Could not rave on about these sleep sacks enough… I always recommend them to mums when the topic of swaddling comes up. Ditch the swaddle and get an ergopouch! Show details
The best swaddle bag – After wasting money on the love 2 dream arms up swaddles (my bub hated them), I bought an ergoPouch praying that it would be better, as these things aren't cheap! Thankfully it was amazing and bub slept so much better with her arms swaddled to her chest comfortably and not tight. Material is comfy and good quality. I love that there are snaps for… Read more
the arms to transition out. Now that she is arms out, I've just purchased the 3.5 tog sleeping bag. Only thing is they take forever to dry when you wash them, not convenient of you don't have a dryer.
We use them everyday – I am so reliant on my ergoPouch cocoon swaddles and sleeping bags. During winter I use 2.5 tog and 3.0 tog. It great knowing my baby is comfy and safe while she sleeps and in natural fibers. I try and have 3 on rotation so that there is always a clean one available to use (I use them for day naps too).

I signed up to get the $20 promo code and nothing said that there were conditions applicable to it until after signing up. I think this is very much false advertising to entice you to sign up!!! This kind of enticement should be looked into very seriously.
Poor quality and customer service – What a joke! Sent a faulty 3.5 tog $100 took 2 weeks to get a response and told to take it to a tailor and $20 off next purches. Won't be repurchasing that's for sure!!

No response – Ordered 2 sleeping bags weeks ago , still haven’t received. Tried to reach out to customer service via emails and phone no reply or call back from the message I left . Assuming it’s a lost order but just can’t speak to anyone. Bad service

Don’t waste your money – Wasting money,3.5 ton is just a joke,not warm at all,maybe better than a t shirt i guess
Suffocation risk – These are terrible, I used the correct size for bub and the sleeping bag would always creep up over his face when his arms were in. Lucky I spotted this without leaving him in it overnight! Only good for arms out which defeats the purpose initially. I'll be sticking with the love to dream ones! Show details
Bad zip, fabric too stretchy – My baby was using 1.0 tog ergopouch cocoon and loves it although can’t seem to settle and sleep with 0.2 tog ergococoons as the fabric are stretchy and can’t keep his fists down and inside, he is able to wriggle them out through the top, zip also comes undone and fabric rides up over his face. Steer clear of 0.2 tog ergococoons Show details
Did not receive item – They apparently sent my bub’s sleeping bags but when I received the package, it was empty. Australia Post claims it was full and delivered, so I guess it was stolen. Ergopouch nor Australia post claims any responsibility. I did not give permission for the package to be left, and you would think an order of over $200 would require a signature. The… Read more
empty package was left outside the front door, which is not a secure location, it’s fully accessible to public. Very disappointed Ergo pouch and apparently wasted $200 with no product.
Ergo cocoon 1 tog way to spacious to actually work as a swaddle – I have bought other ergo cocoons in warmer sizes which are snug and keep babies arms down. For some unknown reason the 1tog is huge and baby can get arms right out. Very annoying as I bought a few under the impression they'd have the same sizing as the other products.
Well made and works great – Fantastic product with well built stitching, zipper and cotton based. Baby certainly feels secure in the ergo pouch Show details
It's good but there's issues – It's ok but there's a few issues. Armholes are small so for chubby bubs it's tricky to fit armes thew. Seems narrow around the hips and when he stretches it goes over his face. Also he can escape too.im needing 3 layers of clothes and a blanket still to keep him warm Show details
Very narrow in legs/hips – There is no room for legs and I feel this may be dangerous for hip development. The shape should be much looser for babies comfort and development. Wish I could return these. Show details

Fantastic – Absolutely love this product as my baby loves to kick off blankets. Keeps baby nice and warm, takes a while to dry if you need to wash it. Soft and cozy. Would recommend to other parents. Show details
I love the warmth but it covered his face – I was so so so shocked, I got the 3-12 month 2.5 tog, and was fine for the first two nights until I woke with his face completely covered and I freaked out. It happened again at nap time, and I’m so gutted as it’s such a perfect temperature. But I’m scared to put him into it if it’ll cover his face when I’m not there. Show details
Baby loves this! – We purchased the rolling swaddle and sleepwear pack from ergo pouch and the product has not disappointed. Keeps bubs nice and warm and it’s perfect for cooler nights. I wish they had adult sizes!
Love it – The ergopouches are a great alternative to swaddling your baby the old fashion way. They give just enough space for the baby to move around comfortable while keeping them warm and they can’t escape. I love that it comes with a temperature guide so there is no guessing involved when dressing your baby for bed. The transition bags are a life safer… Read more
with the little clips on the arms so when your babies ready you can take their arms out with ease, I also love the feel of them, so plush and soft.
I would honestly recommend this to all parents.
Love them!! – Love them! We have 2 1 tog and one .02 tog in size 000-0 and I love how long they are! I find it hard to find long sleeping bags for my skinny long baby and these are great! Nice soft fabric and bubba sleeps great in them! If I put her to bed without one she will not sleep! Show details
Favourite so far – I bought a 1.0 tog swaddle for my 2-month-old and I like it more than the Love To Dream swaddle. With the ErgoPouch, my son can have his arms up, crossed over his chest or down by his side. He can suck on his fingers as well. I got the swaddle in the cloud print and it feels like a soft sweatshirt. I just have to make sure the swaddle is pulled down to make sure there’s no bunching at the neckline. Show details
Best sleeping bags that I've found – I've tried a number of different sleeping bags for my biys and ergopouch are easily the best. Both my boys wiggle and roam around their cots while they sleep so sleeping bags are a must. The quality of fabric and fit are great with all the sleeping bags - I have a selection from 0.3 to 3.5 tog - and maintain shape even after being washed multiple times. Show details
Loved these for winter bub who didn't like wrapping! – I loved these for my winter baby born August 2017. They were warm and fit nice and snug. She went to arms out early on, and the MCHN praised these bags as being better than the Love to dream ones. Now 19 months old and she's in the Ergopouch sleep suits. Love the brand! Show details
Terrible. So unsafe. Suffocation hazard – This sleeping bag ends up completely covering my son’s face by the end of the night and he is definitely in the right size for his age (3 months). Will never use these again they are so dangerous. I’ve told all my mummy friends to steer clear and they just can’t believe the pictures of his face covered. I’m surprised this product is allowed on the market.
Meh – It worked well when my son’s weight was in the lower half of the sizing recommendation, but as soon as he got a little bigger (and should have still fit into the pouch according to the sizing), he would manage to wriggle till the zipper popped open and his arms could come out. This isn’t the best from a safety perspective and as my son was not yet… Read more
ready to transition out of a swaddle, having his arms free turned out to be a major distraction.
Meh. Worked for awhile. Product quality is not great and have had a number of sleepless nights resettling a baby (who would normally sleep 11 hours) as a result.
The best swaddle - my daughter loves it! – I used the 2.5 TOG ergopouch swaddle (0-3mth size) when my daughter was born (July 2018). For the first 2 weeks she liked her hands being down, but at 3 weeks she liked them up so i undid the poppers and she had her arms out and slept like a champ! From 6 weeks she slept through the night. I have since purchased another 2.5 TOG 1.0 TOG and a 0.3… Read more
TOG all in size 2-12mths. These are the only swaddles i have used, and will use as my daughter loves them and so do I!
They wash up great and i just put them in the dryer and haven't had any issues with zips or quality.
Cosy but hands escape – We have the 1.0 tog 0-3 month old ergopouch My bub sleeps better in the pouch as opposed to a swaddle but he can get his hands out the top unfortunately. He is a small bub however so that could be the issue Otherwise high quality fabric and he seems really happy to be in it
Terrible experience – I am a returning guest, last purchase is last year and I knew there is a bit waiting time to receive products. However this time is even worst. Received an item at different pattern and incorrect size, replacement is not what they promised again. Now I have no time to wait to correct it as I’m depart soon! And it supposed to be a gift for my nephew! Thank you very much
