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.

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.

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

Belle & Boo

There’s a new range at John Lewis by Belle & Boo with some simply gorgeous children’s clothes and party accessories for boys and girls. One of my favourite dresses in the new collection is the Toys Long Sleeved Dress and I love the Party Bunting.

The creator of Belle & Boo is Mandy Sutcliffe who was inspired by French children whilst she was staying in Paris. She found inspiration in the children playing in the many Parisian parks and would spend many hours drawing them. Et voilà the Belle & Boo range is beautiful, charming and delightful!

Playing with Play Doh

| February 27, 2013

Imogen had lots of fun playing with Play Doh for the first time whilst we were on holiday in New Zealand. It was great being able to sit outside and play with it in the garden.

Squeezing pink and orange Play Doh for the first time felt very strange but it only took a few seconds and Imogen was right in there with her Play Doh shape cutters and tools!

Imogen loved the experience of Play Doh and the two pots lasted us until the last week of our holiday when they were taken into the paddling pool for a refreshing swim!
