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 sleepingbags 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 ...
the sleepingbag 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 sleepingbag was getting a bit small so we bought this one knowing that it would fit her for a long time!

Sleepingbags 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 ...
Advantages: Baby Sleeps! You Sleep! Disadvantages: They don't make them in adult sizes!
your child grows. I would recommend that you purchase a minimum of two Grobags of 2.5 Tog and at least one 0.5 Tog bag. You will need a minimum of two bags in case of night time accidents or illness.
You can wash a Grobag on a 40 or 60 wash cycle. Although the Grobag website recommends 40 as extra shrinkage can occur at 60.
I would like to add that Grobag branded sleepingbags sell exceptionally well second hand on ebay and you can quite realistically recoup at least half your expenditure on selling. They are also a popular listed item and there are always buyers and bidders. I recently sold a Grobag that I purchased for £26.00 on ebay for £19.00!
There are also some additional products that you can purchase such as a travel Grobag for use with car seats and pushchairs. Your child can fall asleep on the move and it is easier to ...
