Baby duvets are a must if your child is to have a good night's sleep. There are several different models and types that vary in both thickness and design. One should be aware when buying a baby duvet whether it is only to be used indoors, or if you also want to use it in the stroller. In that case, it may be a good idea to have duvets of different thicknesses. The same applies to a summer and a winter duvet, as the child can otherwise become either too warm or too cold. When buying a baby duvet, it is important to consider whether you have a child who is sensitive to heat or cold, so that you find a duvet that fits the individual needs. You can also get both eco-labeled and allergy-friendly duvets, but here the price also comes into play, as these are often a bit more expensive. If you have a tendency to allergies in the family, it may be a good idea to invest in a good allergy-friendly duvet.

What thickness and fill power should baby duvets have?

When it comes to baby duvets, there are both thick and thin options. A term you will encounter when buying duvets is fill power. Fill power refers to the amount of filling and how good the down is at insulating and filling the air. The higher the fill power, the fewer down feathers are needed, as the down insulates so well. This means that a duvet with a high fill power, e.g., 12, will be more airy and fluffy than a duvet with a low fill power of e.g., 8. Typically, it is recommended to buy duvets with a fill power above 10. Duvets with low fill power do not insulate as well and may tend to become flatter and thinner in filling. It may be advantageous to buy two duvets, so you have one for both the stroller and indoor use. When buying baby duvets, they are often referred to as summer and winter duvets, but this does not mean that you cannot use a summer duvet in winter or vice versa; it is a matter of what is most comfortable for the baby. It also relates to whether the little one feels very warm or cold at night.

What kind of duvet should you buy?

As the market for baby duvets is incredibly large, there are also many different brands and many different types. You can get everything from a very cheap duvet with whole (and therefore coarser) feathers to a thick musk duck duvet, a more expensive wool duvet, or silk duvet. What you should keep in mind is that price and quality often go hand in hand, especially when it comes to how warm the baby duvet is, how high the fill power is, and what material it is made of. Additionally, if desired, you can also get an eco-labeled and allergy-friendly duvet. Many baby duvets today are allergy-friendly, and therefore they do not always have to be very expensive but can often be found at a reasonable price. Consider what your needs are in relation to the number of duvets and how warm a child you have. If the child has not yet arrived, start by buying a single duvet with a fill power above 10. This is somewhat in the middle of the spectrum and suits most.

Sleeping bag, stroller bag, or baby duvet?

There are often questions about whether to choose a Voksipose or one of the many different variants that resemble it. Or whether to choose a baby duvet. A sleeping and carrying bag with a carrying plate, such as the Voksipose and Trilleposen, has the advantage of covering many functions. It works both as a duvet in, for example, the stroller, it can serve as a cradle in the first period when using the carrying plate, it can be used as a sleeping bag in the stroller and pushchair, and finally, it can be used as a play mat. So here the advantage could be that, unlike a baby duvet, a Voksipose covers many needs. However, you will always need a baby duvet for the child's bed, and a Voksipose cannot completely replace a duvet.

It is also very individual what your child prefers in the stroller and what you as parents find most comfortable. An all-in-one solution or individual parts that cover their respective areas.
