i guess many of the questions do come down to personal choice.
my DD was born on the 2 sept and for the first 5-6 months we just swaddled her. so no need for sleeping bag (or blankets). i probably wouldnt recommend doing a sleepbag at the same time as swaddling - not sure if it is totally safe and on a more practical level could be a PITA to change nappies at 1am, 3am, 5am in a sleepy state with all those layers to get through...but i am unco at the best of times LOL!
the grobags i have heard are great. exxy though...we have used the bubbaroos. about $20 cheaper on average and have been perfect for both summer and winter uses.
the bonds winter ones we have also used when DD was in the 6-12 month range but this was only before we got the bubbaroo (i kinda felt that they werent warm enough...we lived in canberra without central heating though). the Bonds worked fine though and we have no complaints.
HTH!
