    What TOG to get?

    Oh I am so confused! I need to get DD a new sleeping bag. She is fast growing out of the ones she has. I am wanting to get a summer one and are so confused on the TOG's.
    I have found an ebay seller who sells cozy touch bags at a reasonable price. However my dillemma..... Do I get the 0.5 TOG or the 0.8-0.9 TOG? She has no air con in her room, only a fan. I am in Melbourne so I am expecting the weather to heat up over the next month.
    What would be the way to go?

    I have DS in a 0.5 tog atm, but last night, his room was 28 degrees, and i just slept him in a nappy and singlet, with a muslin wrap thrown over the top of him for a light airy covering. We have been using the 0.5 tog since Oct/Nov.

    it depends on the temp - I used a half tog bag if it was over 21-22 in DS' room. On nights when its cooler you can always change the clothes/jammies that your DD has on to make up for the difference.

    I'm confused with the togs as well. What is the best brand to buy a light summery one. M ds gets hot really easily, and i dont want to spend to much on it either

    I ended up getting a 0.2 TOG snug time one from baby bunting. It is so light that it has been great for DD in the last few warm nights. It was on special for $25 which I thought was reasonable too.

    That is a very good price jenjams. I bought a 0.5 6 - 18 month Grobag for DS which cost me about $65. The SA said that it's better to buy a thinner one and add more clothes.
