Grobag baby sleeping bags are fantastic!

Advantages: easy to use, helpful, fantastic ranges
Disadvantages: may look a little like a dress on boys!

...The grobag is a fantastic invention which stops the constant getting up and down in the night to put the blankets back over your baby when they manage to kick them off in the night. Grobags are baby sleeping bags which fasten at the shoulders and are worn almost like a dress/dungarees. They come in different thickness- Tog rating- like a quilt. So you are able to decide which tog rating is needed, for example, in the summer when it's warm you will only need a 1tog or if it's colder you may need a 3tog. They come in different patterns and designs so you may chose whether you want a girlie pink one or a boy blue one etc. The main purpose of these grobags is to stop the baby from getting cold during the night as they may do with a blanket. Babies do not sleep soundly constantly, they do toss and turn and are able to shift themselves...

Review of Grobag Sleeping Bag

A snuggly sleeping bag

Advantages: see review
Disadvantages: see review

...the sleeping bag stays in place. You zip them up around your baby and the shoulders have little poppers like dungarees so that they stay in place and the baby can't wiggle down underneath them. This makes them flexible as they're baggy so as baby moves the bag moves with them instead of the blankets being thrown off. This bag is huge! Baby Hope is 8 months old and only just in 3-6 months clothes but her 6 month sleeping bag was getting a bit small so we bought this one knowing that it would fit her for a long time! There is plenty of space but that doesn't matter. The fact that it's double her length isn't a problem as it just means that she will grow into it, it doesn't affect how warm it will keep her. Sleeping bags come with different tog ratings like quilts and duvets do. In the summer we use a 1tog and in the winter a 2.5tog. This...

Review of Grobag Grobag Princess Lucy Baby Sleeping Bag 6-18 months

A great little sleeping bag

Advantages: snuggly!
Disadvantages: it's made me want one!

...The grobag is a new kind of sleeping bag designed for babies/toddlers and I really don't know what I would do without them! My daughter is now 5 and we never had gro bags for her. We were always getting up in the night to check her blankets were tsill on her or that she hadn't managed to get them pulled up over her head or, as she got a little older, stuffed in her mouth and being munched on! With gro bags you simply just put your baby/toddler in them and use the poppers on the side to secure them over your babies shoulders- like you would with dungarees- and then just zip them in by the zip on the side! This then means that your baby can't wiggle down under the material, they can't kick them off in the middle of the night and so you can sleep wth peace of mind knwing that they are covered up and the same temperature you left them...

Safe, Snug & Sleeping

Advantages: Baby Sleeps! You Sleep!
Disadvantages: They don't make them in adult sizes!

...· Child - From 3 years upwards Newborn/Young Baby sizes come with popper fasteners at the shoulder and a zip round the edge. Other sizes come with a zip at the front that starts at the top and goes to bottom. Grobag’s come in the following Tog ratings: · 2.5 Tog - Autumn/Winter use · 1.0 Tog - Late Spring to Late Summer · 0.5 Tog - High Summer/Holidays abroad/sick child You can also increase the warmth of your baby by adding and taking away clothes. I found that using the 2.5 Tog sleeping bag all year round was okay if I monitored the amount of additional nightwear my son wore. I also had a 0.5 Tog Grobag for very warm nights. Grobag provide you with a free nursery thermometer with each purchase with recommendations for correct room temperature and clothes to be worn listed. You do not need any additional blankets...

MY LIFE SAVINGS FOR A GOOD NIGHTS SLEEP!

Advantages: Security, comfort and aid to a bed time routine
Disadvantages: Not necessarily the way to a good nights sleep

....95, manufactured from 100%Organic Cotton and made in association with the Green Baby Company. Allergies seem to run rampant through my husband's side of the family, so I decided upon the organic bags rather than the ordinary cotton ones as the Organic Bags can be washed at 60 deg, killing dust mites and therefore reducing the risk of eczema and asthma. With it being summer, I chose a 1.0 tog bag, the other option being 2.5 tog, and a Young Baby size which is suitable for use for babies from 10lbs upto around 6 months. It is important to stick to the correct sizes as the head holes and arm holes are designed to prevent the recommended size of baby from slipping into the bag. The bag zips up from the base to ease nappy changes and complies to British Safety Standards. There are distinct advantages to using sleeping bags. You will not...

Cosy sleeping

Advantages: keeps baby cosy
Disadvantages: None

...of space to stretch and kick. My sleeping bag is the Iggle piggle one, and is mainly blue with yellow edging and a large picture in a circle on the front of Iggle Piggle striding forth. Whilst it wouldn't be my very first choice of sleeping bag design, it was in tkmaxx for £3 and so a bargain to keep little man snug when at my house. It is however nice and jolly and for anyone with older children at pre school age, they may actually chose it for their baby to please the older children. HOW TO USE IT... The sleeping bags are available in two different togs- 1 tog and 2.5 togs. Along with the sleeping bag we also get a thermometer for measuring the room temperature. This is handy because once room temperature is established then the thermometer actually indicates which tog is needed. On The back of the thermometer is a table which tells...

Review of In the Night Garden Baby Sleeping Bag

Bag it up

Advantages: Baby can't kick off the covers which means more sleep for parents - YIPPEE
Disadvantages: Quite hard to get hold of in High Street stores

...When my brother first gave me a baby sleeping bag as a gift when my son was about 3 months old I thought be was having a bit of a laugh - Sleeping bags, for babies, well it just seems odd. But it was the middle of Winter at the time and I was will to try anything to get a little more sleep. So come bedtime I bagged up my bundle of fun and laid him down in his cot and he slept like a babe, all night and from that day on I was converted. So mums I urge you get rid of those cot blankets this really is the way forward, they cant wriggle under them, they cant kick them off which mean baby is safe and happy so you can get on with whatever without worrying. When Sam was six months and with Summer approaching I visited the Grobag web site to get a bigger bag. They have an extensive range of varying fabrics and designs and diffent...

Review of Grobag Sleeping Bag

A full night's sleep restored

Advantages: Baby doen't wake up in night cold, a full night sleep for all
Disadvantages: none?

...the moses basket into his own cot. The blankets were abandoned while we gave the Grobag a go, and now we won?t go back. A full night?s sleep for baby, mummy and daddy has been restored. Grobags come in lots of lovely patterns, some neutrally type patterns, some more obviously for girls and some more obviously for boys. They come in different sizes: ? younger baby ? upto 6 months (from 10lbs) older baby ? 6-18 months toddler ? 18-36 months I?ve only tried the young baby size but believe the design is slightly different for older babies, in that instead of poppers at the top the bag zips up the front right to the top to create in my mind a top akin to a v-neck t-shirt shape. The generous zip round the side of my bag makes changing easy to carry out. Grobags also comes in different thickness ? 2.5, 1.0 and 0.5 togs. The Grobag...

Review of Grobag Sleeping Bag

Secrets of a good nights sleep

Advantages: A goods night sleep for all the family
Disadvantages: none

...failed to see how one of these devices could make a difference. But I was desperate so I went online to www.grobag.com and ordered the funky animals grobag in the 6-18 month size at a cost of £29.99. I was truly amazed when the postman rang the doorbell the very next day to deliver my goods ? Now that is what I call service! If you have not seen one of these before it looks like a big dress, which is enclosed at the bottom (like a sleeping bag) and has a long zip up the front. Basically the idea is that your baby sleeps in the bag doing away with the need for sheets and blankets. They remain at a constant temperature and are unable to kick it off like they can do with blankets. Using a grobag also helps to reduce the risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome or SIDS, as babies are unable to cover their faces with their bedding. Each grobag...

Review of Grobag Sleeping Bag

A Baby Bag with high expectations

Advantages: It is waterproof, hard wearing, durable and stylish
Disadvantages: Very expensive and not that big for all the little extra's

...*****Baby Bjorn Changing Bag***** For anyone due to have a baby, a changing bag is a necessity for the next year or more of your child?s life. I have been blessed with three wonderful children and also had the honour of owning three different types of baby changing bags. My first child had a bag that matched with his pram from Mamas and Papa?s, but the bag lining split so was sent to the recycling centre. My second child?s bag came from Argos, nothing special just cheap and cheerful but it lasted a good year before that too made the recycling centre. My daughter?s bag was a gift and it was the Baby Bjorn changing bag which I still have today and after 4 years, it looks pretty good. The BB is the Rolls Royce of nappy bags as it costs a hefty £50 plus. Is it worth the money or a waste of credit card funds? Read...
