Are Halo sleep sacks crap?

[indylady]

They're the only brand I have but so far, the zippers have broken on two of them. Is this just a fluke? Any other brand that's better?

I vote fluke. We've been using them for about 7 months now and haven't had any problems. They get washed about once every week or two.

[stealthmom]

Fluke. We're on kid 2 with ours.

[lulu21]

I'd say fluke too. I thought they were awesome. I tried a bunch of other sleep sacks and thought they weren't nearly as good.

[dcn]

Fluke, ours have held up really well.

Fluke

Sounds like a fluke. I have hand me down ones that are great. My DS is the 3rd kid using them.

[pierogigirl]

Fluke - we used ours for 2 kids. They both used them until they were 2 yrs old. DS2 liked them so much he would walk around in them. After him, they were too gross looking to give away, but they were still functional with no holes and working zippers.

Fluke. We have ones that are 4+ years old and been used for hundreds of nights, and not had any zippers break.

Make sure you're anchoring the zipper really well - when my H does it, the zipper will separate because he neglected to really lock the bases together.

Fluke. Ours have held up great.

Fluke.

I vote fluke. DS has been wearing them since he was 6 months old, he's still wearing them now at 33 months. He's had 2 fleece and 2 cotton in every size they make. We've never had a broken zipper.

bowies is right, you do have to anchor the zipper properly. That's likely your problem.

Hmm my halo sacks have held up great. I love the Hannah Anderson ones. My Aden and a sis sleep sacks zippers break easily and look like crap

[pugz]

Fluke. A&A break easy for sure

[shelbyann]

I have owned four Halo sacks and had one zipper break. It broke practically right out if the package, before I even used it. Amazon took it back and sent he a new one.

Probably still a fluke. The rest of ours have held up well I daily use.

[gibbinator]

I have 2 . one of them the zipper kind of sucks, it's hard to get it started and has been like that since we bought it this summer. , but my other one is going strong after being purchased second hand and used by me for a year.

I was going to say this as well. The only time we've had an issue, it was because H didn't line up the zipper perfectly.

All of mine have broken as well.

Ditto this. I had one that I thought had a defective zipper and when I emailed Halo, they suggested this might be an issue. I never had a problem after that. FYI, Halo did offer to replace the sleep sack, OP, so if you think the zipper really is defective, it might be worth contacting their customer service.

Fluke ours are great.
