Definition:

A bag sleeper may be one of the most popular types of sleepwear for infants and babies. This is due primarily to its unique construction.

Rather than having two legs like footie pajamas, a bag sleeper looks similar to a child's nightgown. The difference is that is has a zipper, or snaps, across the bottom that make midnight diaper changes a much easier affair.

One of the reasons that bag sleepers are favored by parents is simply because they're roomy, they allow easy access to diapers, they're available in a wide range of fabrics, and the zipper across the bottom means they're less likely to accidentally zip sensitive skin up.

Also Known As: sleep sack, dressing gown, blanket sleeper
