    Question Gro Bag or other brand

    Hi Just wondering what others are using?

    We have a basic sleeping bag that was given to us, bought from target i think.
    MJ sleeps in this plus blankets and i am thinking that i should get a grobag or something similar that has an actual TOG rating. Especially with Summer coming up as the one that we are using will be too hot.

    Anyone got any comments or suggestions?

    thanks

    we use a grobag thats for 20 to 24 degrees think 1.0 tog.

    I put Jacob in a wondersuit or easy suit depending how warm a night it is, no extra blankets thought I tend to put on heater if room cools down.

    I have the 3 different tog rated grobags and must say I love the ease of them. I did buy another one from best n less a few weeks back... just the light cotton one, thing is it's soooooo much smaller than the grobag! I also find that the zipper etc on the cheaper one not as good and the design isn't quite as good either. That's just my opinion though. I like that the grobag thermometer also tells you what to dress bub in and which grobag for what temp.

    I use a 2.5 tog grobag but also have 1.0 and 0.5 tog from Living Textiles (cheaper then grobags but still good quality). Not too sure where they sell but you can order online and they often have last seasons designs on sale online for 1/2 price.

    Oh thanks guys, will look up thise brands too.

    I have the grobag thermometer, we got that when she was a newborn... Its great to get an idea of the tempreture, sometimes i would have no idea how hot her room was/is... DH has a temp logger (he is a fridgy) and when she was newborn we were worried about the tempreture fluctuation, so he attached it to the cot for 7 days and we printed out the graph. It was interesting to see how much it changed in the 12 hrs overnight
