The Ultimate Guide to Choosing the Perfect Baby Blanket

When it comes to creating a cosy, safe, and beautiful nursery, few items are as timeless and essential as the baby blanket. More than just a piece of fabric, the right blanket offers warmth, comfort, and even becomes part of the memories you’ll cherish for years.  At boulevard kids, we know that choosing the perfect blanket can feel overwhelming, so we’ve put together this guide to help make your decision a little easier.

1. Material Matters

Your baby’s skin is delicate, which is why we only offer blankets made from the softest, safest fibres.  From breathable organic cotton to natural merino wool and silky bamboo blends, every option is designed to keep your little one snug without irritation.

Tip: Look for OEKO-TEX® certified fabrics — they guarantee no harmful chemicals ever touch your baby’s skin.

2. Size and Use

Baby blankets come in different sizes for different stages and uses:

• 70 x 90 cm: Perfect for the pram, stroller, or car seat.

• 100 x 80 cm: A versatile cot size that grows with your little one.

• Larger sizes: Ideal for toddlers and cosy couch snuggles.

3. Style That Lasts

Your nursery is a reflection of your style — and blankets can be both functional and beautiful.  Whether you love the classic look of cable knits, the modern feel of ribbed textures, or the airy lightness of muslin, there’s a blanket to suit every taste.

4. A Gift and a Keepsake

A baby blanket isn’t just for today — it’s something your child may hold onto for years. From first naps to long car rides and snuggly nights, blankets often become beloved keepsakes children can’t sleep without and parents treasure long after.  With options to personalise some of our blankets, you can create a one-of-a-kind memory piece that will always remind you of those early days.
