Our Story
Our Mission
For over 25 years, HALO®’s mission has been to create simple, innovative products that make safe sleep easier for you—and more comfortable for your baby.
When our founder Bill Schmid lost his firstborn to SIDS in 1991, he made it his life’s mission to ensure another family wouldn’t have to experience the same tragedy. Using his expertise as a professional engineer, he designed America’s first wearable baby blanket—also known as the SleepSack® Sleeping Bag.
Since then, the HALO® SleepSack® has continued to be a category leader and the number choice of American hospitals, available in over 1,700 nationwide.
Today, our responsibility and dedication to baby safe sleep continues as a trusted resource for the modern parent. Our growing line of products are thoughtfully developed and diligently tested to help babies sleep safely.
In 2020, HALO® debuted in Europe. We are proud to share our safe sleep mission and products with a growing international audience.
Our Products
The HALO® SleepSack® Sleeping Bag is designed to eliminate the need for loose blankets and ensure safe sleep, spanning from birth to 36 months.
The HALO® SleepSack® Swaddle adds an adjustable swaddle to our sleeping bag. It allows parents to easily swaddle in three different ways; arms in, arms out, and hands-to-face.
The HALO® BassiNest® is designed with a 360° swivel and patented lowering bedside wall, offering accessible close sleep without the risk of bedsharing. Our signature sleeper is available in two different models.
Our Collaboration with Hospitals
HALO® offers a dedicated professional line of products, with SleepSacks® and Swaddles currently being used in over 1,700 American hospitals. We most recently collaborated with NICU nurses to create the TrulyPreemie SleepSack® Swaddle – engineered to better fit the smaller size and unique needs of prematurely born babies – for exclusive use in American NICUs.
Our educational safe sleep materials are distributed at hospitals to over 100,000 American parents annually.
We also believe in giving back to hospitals with donations of over $9M in safe sleep essentials since 2010.
