sleeping bags...

[black_rose]

I used a Bubbaro Joey sleeping bag for DD and will again when bubs is born, there hands stay in the sleeping bag so they stay warm and they can't whack themselves in the head. It was about $50 but it was worth it as DD slept much better and I didn't have to worry about her being cold. We used it until she outgrew it and then swapped to the ones with the arms.

I just use target ones. I use them with long sleeves in the really cold nights and no sleeves when it's a bit warmer but still cool. When it's over about 15 degrees overnight I just have DD in a jumpsuit or flannel PJ's and don't worry about a sleeping bag and she's fine but she's a bit older than your bub. I think once the really hot nights hit I'll probably just leave her in a singlet and nappy and that will be it for hot nights.

DS has been in a grobag since about 9 weeks has been great, what annoyms me is cost so we only have 1 so needs to be washed lots. I do have a snugtime one also which i have used a few times when cooler.

I love grobags but aggree overpriced for what they are, however well made, nice looking, feeling and TOG

We've used the grobag ones and also the bebe ones from DJ's. They are both very similar.

If you find they are a bit expensive in the shops, try ebay. I bought my grobag off there and it only cost about $45 plus postage and it was Brand New. You can buy them 2nd hand from there also for a bit cheaper.

I was in KMart the other day and they just got in new ones that are sleeveless and cotton so I grabbed one for Bethany, it is good. And at only 13 dollars I figured if she hated no loss, maybe try something like that first before making a big investment??

ooh thanks ladies that's very helpful information! I'm going to trot off (when I'm brave enough to dare go near the Xmas crowds) and check out Kmart/Myer/DJ's until I find some (rather than shelling out $$$ for grobags). I've been sleeping him in the one that we have, and he loves it, so I think a "summer" one (or two) would be great.

SamiH & Tan - great to see you're still both very good at stalking my threads much appreciated!

I recently got two grobags on sale online for about $50 each. I got sleeveless summer ones and I think they are great. One of them is a travel bag. It has a velcroed slit in the back which you open up for the seatbelt to fit through so it's great if we are out of an evening and can transfer DS straight from the car into his cot in his sleeping bag without having to change him and wake him up.

We also had a winter sleeping bag from Target which was really good as well, it was that nice cosy material.

I'm happy with the grobags as they will fit him for another year and in winter I can just dress him in warmer clothes under the grobag. Then they will be used for the next baby. So, that's my justification for the $$$.
