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

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

Safe, Snug & Sleeping

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

...in a Grobag. For those of you that have never heard of Grobag before, I shall give a brief description. A Grobag is a baby sleeping bag. The baby or child actually wears this like an item of clothing. It has poppers or zips to fasten it up. It has head and arm holes (no sleeves). They come in a variety of different thickness (Togs) and different sizes. For the uninitiated you’re probably wondering what is so special about the Grobag. Well here are just a few of the benefits of this excellent invention: · Your baby or child can wiggle and jiggle as much as it likes and the Grobag won’t come off and leave your baby cold and likely to wake up · Your baby and especially your toddler can wake up play, move around and then fall back to sleep without you having to worry that their blankets have fallen off and that they are...

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...

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

...When a newborn baby arrives in your home you will try anything to get a good nights sleep. I would have quite happily handed over my life savings (£100!), four weeks after my daughter's birth to anyone willing to take over those bone numbingly exhausting night after night, night duties. At some point during those early weeks or possibly before you will probably have found your way onto the mailing list of the Grobag baby sleeping bag company, now called Bumps to 3. A bright little catalogue will fall through your door which when opened will promise you the earth if you put your baby in one of their specially designed Grobag Sleeping Bags. Being desperate, I ordered one and with it being the hottest summer on record last year I didn't get to use it properly until my baby was around 12 weeks old. It cost £29...

My Mummy's Bag and lots of goodies for me.

Advantages: Sturdy, safe easy to use.
Disadvantages: Such alot to do.........................

...Having had 4 children of my own, all now grown up I look after our grandson two days a week so I like to keep up to date with toys books etc. Wondering around the toy shops, book shops and department stores I find very little has changed in 26 years. My Mummy's Bag though is one of the exceptions. This "Book" is a little treasure. It is the shape and size of a handbag, made of sturdy cardboard and with red carry straps. Any yummy mummy would be pleased to be seen with it. It has six different compartments which hold various items. There is a mobile phone, hanky, lipstick, diary, note pads, electronic organiser, keys for car and house, in fact 70 objects and 30 activities in fact everything that would be in any working mummy's bag. Our grandson Callum and us have great fun playing with it. Also in the same design...

Review of My Mummys Bag - Paul Hanson

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 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

Sleeping is Safer with this!

Advantages: snuggly, safe
Disadvantages: none!

...Before we had Baby B I had no idea how much babies wriggle in their sleep and how often they are able t wriggle around under their blankets so much that they end up disapearing underneath them or uncovering themselves completely. For a while Mrs B and I were always going to check on Baby B and making sure her blankets were still in place and we were often woken up with an indignant baby crying about the fact that her blankets were no longer covering her and she was cold or uncomfortable. We had a coffee morning (Another new thing for me as daddy b!) where all the mums sat around talking about feeding and us dads moaned away about the fact that babies didn't sleep very well and the parents looked at us as though we were crazy. They couldn't believe we had never used a sleeping bag. We returned their crazy looks with confused ones...
