Why has the zipper on your baby's sleep sack stopped working?

The zippers on baby sleeping bags are quite delicate and can easily malfunction over time:

- The slider is worn and no longer works properly.

- The teeth no longer close correctly.

- The slider has broken or slipped off the zipper track.

Fortunately, you can repair your sleeping bag without sewing, using a Clip&Zip replacement slider.

What you need to fix your fly

• A Clip&Zip slider suited to the size and type of your zipper.

• Flat-nose pliers.

3 steps to fix a baby sleeping bag zipper:

1. Identify the type of zipper and the correct slider size.

Examine the zipper to determine the type of closure: is it plastic, metal, or nylon? For baby sleeping bags, they are usually made of nylon or plastic.

Then, check for a number on your old slider to identify its size (No. 5, No. 8, No. 10, etc.).

These two steps will allow you to choose a compatible Clip&Zip slider.

2. Remove the old slider (if it is still in place)

If it is stuck or deformed, use flat-nose pliers to cut the old slider and gently remove it.

3. Install the new slider on your baby sleeping bag.

• Open the new slider using your hand or the small red wedge provided with your order.

• Position it over both sides of the zipper.

• Close it carefully until you hear a "click."

• Slide the zipper up and down to ensure the teeth mesh perfectly.
