Mountain Hardwear Polarguard® 3D Upgrade Sleeping Bag Regular

Advantages: Very warm, great colour, comfortable & simple
Disadvantages: slightly heavy

...The orange glow of this sleeping bag kept us warm on the Northern Ice cap, south Patagonia. Our expedition took us through mozzie ridden temperate forest; snow and then onto the icecap itself. For a period of 6 weeks, this bag proved infallible. Having been snowed in for a long period on the icecap, warmth was paramount. The Lamina remained warm even after becoming saturated with tent condensate. The neck baffle system worked a treat; it was simple and easy to use. The chunky zips were ideal to open, even with gloved hands, and over the 6 week duration the zips didn't 'catch' once. If you're looking for a hard core synthetic sleeping bag then this definatley gets my seal of approval; if the icecap wasn't enough it's also stood up to some wet & windy wild camping in the UK lake district....

...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... Read 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... Read review
