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

...Sleeping bags for babies are perhaps my favourite of the 'baby gadgets' I don't know what I'd do without ours so whoever invented them I am forever grateful! When babies are sleeping they are just like us adults, they toss and turn. but unlike us, they can't reach for their covers when they manage to throw them off or they can't get themselves back out from underneath them if they wiggle down under them. In the night we were forever getting up to put the blankets back around baby Hope or we would be forever checking that she hadn't managed to get underneath them. Now that it's getting cold again I would be worried that if she was able to kick her blankets off that she would be too cold in the night and would have to keep checking her again. Sleeping bags ensure that you don't need to keep checking on your baby for their covers as...

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

Safe, Snug & Sleeping

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

...getting cold · There is less danger of your little one slipping down under the covers and helps your child maintain the recommended sleeping position of ‘feet to foot’. · Your child will begin to associate the Grobag with sleep and this can certainly help you settle your baby with more success when sleeping in a strange place or when moving from moses basket to cot to bed · It makes it much harder for your toddler to attempt climbing out of its cot and is useful if you want to delay the move to a bed. Now all this is well and good and it all sounds very impressive but what you are most interested in is personal experience. Well here is my own experience of this excellent product. Firstly I have to say I had never heard of Grobag or baby sleeping bags before my son was born. I only came across Grobag by chance when they were...

Review of Grobag Sleeping Bag

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

...need to purchase top sheets and blankets and any risks of overheating or cot death associated with blankets slipping over baby's head are reduced. Your baby will not become cold in the night and should sleep more comfortably in the security of a familiar sleeping bag. The temperature inside the bag can be controlled by adding or removing night clothes and vests according to the temperature in the room and the bag can become somewhat of a security item which helps to induce sleep. Before you rush out to buy one, thinking this is the answer to all your prayers, please take the time toread on a little further. My daughter, as a newborn and upto the age of 6 months, was a nightmare sleeper, not helped by the fact that she suffered from acid reflux and objected to being put down flat for a sleep. As the nights closed in and cooled...

Review of Grobag Sleeping Bag

I will sleep if you put me in a Grobag

Advantages: Keeps Baby warm without the need for blankets
Disadvantages: The bags are expensive

...I remember when I was pregnant with my daughter reading about these bags that had been brought onto the market. They were like a baby sleeping bag which ensured that baby would be kept warm enough to sleep without the need for blankets! I decided it was a gimmick and never bothered. When my nephew was born my sister in law used them and I used to laugh at my nephew in it, but she always said that he slept in it no problem. When my son was about 10 weeks he kept wakening during the night as he liked to be swaddled and he kept kicking the covers off. We decided to go to John Lewis and have a look at these sleeping bags! We found them in the childrens department, next to the baby clothes! They had a range of designs. The smalled size they had was 0-6months and that cost £22! We got one. It was a to the moon one, which was...

Review of Grobag Sleeping Bag

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...

Review of Grobag Grobag Little Pirate Baby Sleeping Bag 6-18 months

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

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

Sleeping is Safer with this!

Advantages: snuggly, safe
Disadvantages: none!

...and they then introduced us to the baby sleeping bag or gro bag as they're often called and since then we have not had to worry about blankets! Sleeping bags are amazing little inventions! They are basically like a dress almost which then connects to the baby over their shoulders and poppers on a bit like dungarees would. The side of the sleeping bag zips up all the way round so it's easy to get your baby in. Once your baby is wearing the sleeping bag they can't kick it off! Baby B was zipped into it, the poppers snapped shut on her shoulders and then put down into her basket and the bag stayed in place! She didn't kick it off as it was stuck to her and moved with her, she was kept warm as it was nice and snuggly inside as it's fleecey lined and she wasn't in any danger of wriggling underneath it as it fits to her! It was brilliant...

Review of Lollipop Lane Cappuccino Bear Sleeping Bag

Good out of car camping sleeping bag

Advantages: Warm and good price
Disadvantages: Bulky and heavy

...I bought this as i needed a warm winter sleeping bag for some out of car camping and it is ideal. It is basically a duvet with a nylon outercoating. I am a very warm person and can often use the extreame guidence as my comfort zone regarding the temperature. Recently I was camping in the peak distict (middle of Novemeber) the temperature went down to -4c and I was as warm as toast. I have lent it to friends of mine who hs started to get cold at around freezing, which is probably a more realistic value for the bag. It is very comfortable inside, you cannot feel any seams or the zip, the hood fits nicely over you head without blocking your face and generally has a lot of room inside (im 6'1 and 16 stone). It has a nice soft feel inside and a general feeling of quality I do a lot of backpacking type camping all over the country in...
