Grobags...
Hi ladies, hope you are all keeping well.
I've been spending the evening researching or buying baby products.. Just been looking into Grobags and didnt realise the variety. I was looking at 1.0 for 0-6months, on one website the prices range from ??16-??30! I thiught the only difference was the design but i believe there is more to it than that.
How much has everybody else spent / what styles do you recommend as being the best?
Im not sure where to start looking...i dont like lots of choice...it means more time needed to make a decision!
Look forward to hearing what you have all gone for. xxx

Zoey - i didnt realise places like matalan do them
Bedhead - looking at bump to 3 which seems to be the website for 'Grobag' the orginial. Have you tried the socksuit? thanks for the infor regarding travel.
Have only started looking so your advice is a great help on what styles are best etc. How many would you suggest is it worth buying?
I personally like the idea of grobags over blankets, as i jst feel baby is safer and baby is less likely to be to hot or kick off sheets and get to cold. My cousin recommended getting them...havent had chance to speak to her since,

She's crocheted us loads of lovely blankets so I will see how lo gets on with them first. If he turns out to be a right wriggler at night, like his mum lol, then I'll try the grobag. He'll be too young to realise he looks like a girl, hehe. xxx
chellebelle...hadnt thought of ebay. but im a bit picky on hygiene so they would have to be from ebay shops and none used!
Does three sound about right. 1 in wash, one in need of a wash maybe and 1 in use. I've just noticed it will get quite expensive if i buy too many. As hubby pointed out, sheets are cheaper and can last all ages! I do have a quilt for cot but will probs use it for decoration or when baby's older.
thanks for the kind words of advice. Keep them coming xxx
I think il have to wait for some more postings yet to decide......
I dont have an asda nearby...shame.....I think im just going to have to do on a shopping trip just for grobags at this rate lol!

For those who ahve used them with lo's already, some of you mentioned that you used them from 3 months. Is their a recommended age to use them or did anybody use them from birth. As you can see its my first and Im a bit clueless!
frags_jones....i hadnt thought about tkmaxxx....thanks for the suggestion. xxx
I found the Tesco one to be loads thinner than all the other brands even though it said 2.5 tog??? Plus it had poppers insead of a zip so it was too fiddly.
I would say if you're trying them out for the first time go for Matalan or Asda, purely cus they're cheaper. But George tends to outgrow these ones quicker, so although Grobags and Slumbersacs are tons more expensive, in my opinion, they will last you a lot longer
