just wondering, i (still) need to get eli a couple of new ones and i'm wondering where from - we had grobag ones first which were lovely quality but we can't really afford more, then mamas and papas dreampods which i can only describe as hit or miss! they went really bobbly easily and seem to be completely different thicknesses/materials...odd.

so i notice mothercare's ones are bogof just now i was wondering how they are longevity-wise???

Ive used them, and think they are good! I would advise the 'velour' ones over the cotton ones xx

are the velour ones warmer? they always 'feel' warmer to me but i don't know if they actually are haha also, does sick come out of velour? elijah is still a sicky boy!

I got Arwyn one out of Tesco and I prefer it to the Grobag one I've got

Wil has these

He has various designs and togs.

The sleeping bags with zips down the front where the zip starts at the top are good because LOs can't get them off. The ones with poppers on the shoulders are easy to get out of because you only have to wriggle a lot.

he has one with the zip at the front and one at the side - i think you are right the front one is better, he seems to sleep easier in it, plus i just saw a review of the mothercare ones...not only do they zip at the front but they only have one popper so he would pop that open!

i just got this from vertbaudet

i have fallen out with vertbaudet because non of their bloody stuff fits! even their 9-12 month stuff doesn't fit elijah, he is only on the 50th centile so he isn't a giant so.....i would need a 2-3 year sleeping bag?!

i just use matalan onces for alfie. theyre just the right temp and they have zips and poppers. hes in 12 - 18 months now x
