Am looking at getting a new sleeping bag for DS, just had a cheaper one that was given to me but am looking for something thats a little better ie made from better fabric, think the last one was polyester. Don't mind the cost as its something he will sleep in every night
I love my Grobags, I picked them up fairly cheaply off ebay, but it can be quite competitive! I've heard about some merino wool ones which are supposed to be really great (they are expensive), but because wool is a great insulator they keep them warm in winter and cooler in summer. I can't remember the brand though.
we have the merino go go bags - they are not cheap (around about $160 each) but you can use them year round and we have had them since 6 months (and will last til about 18 months).
With DS1 i did grobags and had to buy different togs etc so i would say this has actually been a cheaper option overall
I've heard the wool ones are good too.
We use living textiles, we got it from baby bunting, I think. Jordy's 2 1/2 and we still use ours.
Oh! I saw some really lovely bonds ones at kmart recently, too, that you can unclip to make them longer down the track.
If we still needed to buy one I would probably go with that
Grobags are better for older child as position of zipper harder for them to undo and get out of. DS1 used to get out of dreambags from about 16 months by pulling to undo press studs.
we've been using grobags since DS was about 12 weeks old & love them. as mamapan says though - we've had 2 in the 6-18 months size to have 2 different tog ratings (a 1.0 & a 2.5).
in regards to overall cost - as you say, they sleep in them every night & we use also them for DS' 2 naps each day so imo they've been worth the money
