Red Nose Education
Red Nose has always recommended not using a sleep bag once a child is no longer in a cot due to the risk of trips/falls.
Red Nose recommendation for a sleeping bag is one that fir appropriately around the neck, has arm holes (or sleeves) & no hood. See photo in linked article below.

Also , have a look at “Cot to Bed” information under “Alerts” p2

Or are you referring to a sleep suit that looks like a “onsie”?
