Grobag Baby Sleep Bag Review

| April 4, 2013

Last week we were sent a Grobag baby sleep bag to review by The Gro Company. Baby sleep bags have been made by The Gro Company since 2000 and today an astounding 95% of parents in the UK choose to use baby and toddler sleep bags for their little ones.

We received an all year round 2.5 tog sleep bag for toddlers aged 18 – 36 months old. With a 2.5 tog sleep bag it’s recommended that your baby’s nursery is between 16 to 20 degrees Celcius. The free nursery thermometer that comes with every Grobag has been helpful for keeping an eye on the temperature in Imogen’s nursery.

Grobag Review

Imogen is tall for her age so I was really impressed with the length of the sleep bag we received. It’s suitable for a child up to a maximum length of 98 cm. There is also a good width on the sleep bag which allows Imogen to move freely in the sleep bag during her sleep and when she’s awake in her cot bed.

Grobag Sleeping Bag Review

Imogen’s Grobag fastens at the front with a zip that has a thick cotton zip guard to ensure it never rubs on her skin. There’s a popper at the bottom of the Grobag to safely ‘lock’ the zip so a curious toddler can’t open their Grobag.

The design of Imogen’s Grobag is Treetop Tales. It’s a crisp white on the back of the sleep bag with colourful circles and friendly characters on the front including a giraffe, owl, snail and chick. It’s bright and cheerful with rich colours that will suit all nurseries.

Grobag Sleeping Bag Review

Some of the unique features I love about the Grobag baby sleep bag:

  • Imogen stays cosy and warm throughout the night so there’s no worrying about whether she’s too hot or cold
  • There are no covers or blankets to kick off which gives us peace of mind during the night
  • The Grobag opens easily for any night time nappy changes
  • 100% cotton fabric is used for the outer and lining of the Grobag
  • The Grobag allows Imogen to move freely during her sleep and when she’s awake and playing in her cot bed

Grobag Sleeping Bag Review

Grobag baby sleep bags have won many awards over the years and the Mother and Baby Awards 2011/12 Gold Award for Best Nursery Product.

Grobag sleep bags come in a range of sizes from 0 – 6 months up to 6 – 10 years. There’s also a range of three tog ratings so you can ensure your child is in the right Grobag for the particular season and temperature of the room.

You can find out more about Grobag baby sleep bags online at The Gro Store.

Owl Lover 2013 Calendar

| October 23, 2012

Owl Lover 2013 CalendarI stumbled across this beautiful Owl Lover 2013 Calendar when I was reading the inspiring blog by Oana Befort this morning.

Oana Befort has contributed her Owl art work for this project.

The idea and author behind the calendar is Shivani of My Owl Barn and is for all Owl Lovers and admirers of amazing art.

There are over 40 Owl pictures to choose from and you can personalise the calendar by selecting which picture you want for each month of the year.

This calendar will look lovely in a nursery or child’s bedroom and children will really enjoy selecting their favourite Owl pictures to make their own calendar.

I’ve had fun choosing and printing a selection of Owls and will be hanging the Owl Lover 2013 Calendar in Imogen’s bedroom so we can enjoy looking at the Owls. She adores Owls and says ‘coo coo’ every time she sees a picture of one!

Discover for yourself the stunning art work and download your free Owl Lover 2013 Calendar.

If you’re pressed for time here’s a pre-made Owl Lover 2013 Calendar.

This calendar makes a great gift for friends and family this Christmas.
