Advantages: peace of mind, keep warm, no suffocation

Disadvantages: some babies cant move very well in them

My review is on the Grobag, however I have also used shop own alternative which are just as good.

The grobag is a great invention which comes in different sizes and different togs making them suitable for babies/toddlers and all seasons. Especially great if you have a little wriggler, so can guarantee your little one will sleep through the night in the comfort of being warm and no worry about suffocation from blankets or getting cold from becoming untucked.

I first experienced these with my 1st as had 1 bought as a gift, however my son hated it and found it easier to use a blanket. However once he turned 6mths and was wriggling all over and waking cold every morning, I decided to try again, so just bought a cheap one from matalan, which he took surprisingly well to. He then continue to wear them for bed every night. I had a 2.5tog for winter and a 1 tog for summer when it was needed. Even when he was crawling and walking he still slept fine in it and was lovely and cosy every morning. It wasnt till he went into a bed at 18mths we actually stopped using them.

With my daughter we actually started a lot earlier from about 4 wks when she was in her cot. She was fine from the start, which is a good job as she moves so much in her sleep I would never be able to keep her warm. She is now in the Grobag 18-36mths and can crawl all over and walk in it fine. Dreading the day I will have to take it off and stop using it as she will not sleep in one position.

They are great for peace of mind, knowing their warm and snug and cant suffocate. They are basically like an adult sleeping bag, but have straps over the shoulders to preventing baby wrigling in or out of it. Come in a variety of clours and sizes. Are slightly expensive for the proper grobags, but worth it for peace of mind. A lot of other shops such as primark, matalan, etc do sell cheaper alternatives and although the quality is not as good they still do the same trick.

Summary: the best invention - would be lost without mine, i have bout 8
