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:

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.

-
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.
