Alternative to sleeping bag with zip?

Hi everyone, hoping someone can help please! My 13 month dd is currently in a standard sleeping bag with zip down the side and poppers over the shoulders for all naps and night times. She is absolutely obsessed with zips and at night keeps undoing her sleeping bag, consequently ending up in a tangle! I have googled for an alternative (was thinking poppers down the side) but no joy. Anyone know of such a product (avail in uk)? Thank you!

The Bambino Kids merino wool sleeping bags have a zipper that zips from top to bottom, i.e. when done up the zipper pull is down the bottom. And they're long (as they fit 6-24 mo). Would that work? Or would she just reach down to the bottom to find the zipper pull?

You could just sew a tag across the zip. My DS adult sleeping bag has one to stop the zip coming down during the night. Sew a piece of fabric on one side of the zip, near the top just under the pull. On the other side of the zip either sew a piece of velcro or a popper. Attach the other half to the end of the piece of fabric, then do the zip up and fix across the fabric strip. It should slow her down at least Grin

Grobags have a flap with a popper which fastens over the top of the zip to stop baby undoing it - any good?

My daughter manages to get out of any sleeping bag, I put a safety pin across the zip track once its done up to stop her being able to pull down the zip.

Jojomamanbebe do a toddler sleeping bag that zips from top to bottom. The bottom of the sleeping bag then folds to the back and is attached with poppers! (Hope that makes sense) My escapologist DD hasn't managed to get out of it yet. As with everything on their website they are not cheap.
