From Tragedy to Triumph: How HALO is Protecting Babies’ Sleep

For over 25 years, HALO has been on a mission to make safe sleep easier for parents and more comfortable for babies. The story behind the brand is deeply personal: founder Bill Schmid created HALO SleepSack® after the heartbreaking loss of his firstborn to SIDS in 1991. With his background as an engineer, Bill used his expertise to design a wearable blanket that would help keep babies safe during sleep and prevent another family from experiencing the same tragedy.

Today, HALO continues that mission, offering a wide range of baby sleep products that prioritize comfort, safety, and peace of mind for parents. From HALO bassinets to baby sleep sacks, these products are carefully designed to support safe, restful sleep from birth through toddlerhood. Based in Columbia, Maryland, HALO has become a trusted name in baby sleep solutions, used by parents and hospitals alike to help babies sleep securely.

HALO SleepSack®: Comfort and Safety in One

The HALO SleepSack® changed the way parents think about safe sleep. Traditional blankets can pose a suffocation risk, but HALO SleepSack® eliminates that concern by keeping babies snug, warm, and safely wrapped. These wearable blankets allow babies to sleep in a natural position, without the risks of loose bedding. Available in multiple styles, including the best-selling 3-way Adjustable Swaddle, HALO SleepSack® has become the go-to choice for millions of parents and hospitals.

What makes HALO SleepSack® unique is its design. It fits babies from birth to 5 years old, offering a cozy, breathable option at every stage of growth. No matter how much your baby wiggles, HALO SleepSack® stays in place, ensuring they’re safe and comfortable all night long.

HALO BassiNest®: Close, But Safe

The HALO BassiNest® is another product that revolutionized safe sleep. This bedside bassinet lets you sleep close to your baby but without the risks of bed-sharing. The BassiNest® has a 360° swivel and a patented lowering bedside wall, which allows you to reach your baby easily for nighttime feedings or comforting. It’s designed to keep your baby close enough for bonding but in their own safe space.

With models available for single babies or twins, the BassiNest® is as functional as it is comforting. Parents can adjust the height for a perfect fit next to their bed, while breathable mesh sides offer visibility and airflow to keep your baby cool and safe.

Why Parents Love HALO Products

Parents trust HALO because they know the brand is committed to safety and comfort. HALO products are rigorously tested to meet the highest standards, ensuring that babies sleep soundly while staying safe. The brand partners with trusted organizations like First Candle and the International Hip Dysplasia Institute to ensure every product supports healthy sleep and development.

But it’s not just about safety, HALO also delivers on comfort. The soft, breathable fabrics used in their sleep sacks and bassinets are designed with your baby’s sensitive skin in mind. Whether it’s a cozy SleepSack® for your newborn or a BassiNest® for safe nighttime sleep, you can rest easy knowing that HALO has your baby’s well-being covered.
