Spring Bash! Grobag Baby Sleeping Bag Review and Giveaway
Friday, April 10, 2009 Posted by Piera Jolly
This is a regularly occurring scenario in my house: Get Lucas ready for bed. Dress him in either footed pajamas or two piece pajamas with socks on. Wake up in the morning to the sound of Lucas happily "talking" in his crib. Walk into his room. Naked toddler stands up, waves, and says, "Hi!". This has happened almost every day for months! Mike (my hubby) and I were seriously at a loss. How do we keep Lucas warm at night when he has figured out how to take every type of clothing OFF? He has a blanket in his crib, but it's useless because he won't use it. Well, I am happy to report that our naked and cold toddler problem has been resolved! I am so excited to tell you guys about the Grobag Baby Sleeping Bag by Keen Distribution!About Grobags Baby Sleeping Bags:
Popular in Europe for over 25 years now, baby sleeping bags help keep your baby covered all night long, even if your baby is an active sleeper. Baby sleeping bags are a safer, more comfortable alternative to traditional loose baby bedding. These “wearable blankets” help to keep your baby comfortable and warm throughout the night, which means peace of mind and more sleep for you!
So, I know pretty much every mom has heard of or used a baby sleeping bag, but it is impossible to find them in toddler sizes! Grobag Sleeping Bags are availabe in sizes 0 months to 36 months! That's not all though, Grobags have awesome features that I have never seen in other baby sleeping bags. First of all, Grobags have a toddler-proof zip-click zipper that will end the naked baby problem! The zipper is on the side and it has a snap button that goes right over the zipper pull. The snap is tough and pretty much impossible for a toddler to open. They also have double snaps at the top of the Grobag for extra security!
Also, Grobags are unique in that you can buy them in different togs, which is the European warmth rating. This is amazing! SIDS has actually been linked to babies overheating at night so this is a huge concern for parents. Grobags elliminates that worry because you can buy their baby sleeping bags in different fabric weights or togs to suit the season or the temperature you keep your home at. Grobags even come with a nifty room thermometer so you can be assured that your baby is dressed properly! Grobags also meet all British Standards and safety guidelines of the FSID (a leading UK baby charity promoting safe sleep).
Keen Distribution sent Lucas a Grobag in the Jelly Bean pattern (pictured left) for me to review and it is so cute! I got the 1.0 tog, which is suitable for the Spring and Summer. It is lightweight and very soft! I love the zip-click feature because Lucas cannot unzip himself from the sleeping bag and I am VERY HAPPY to say that we do not wake up to a naked baby ANYMORE! What orginally interested me in the Grobag was that it would keep Lucas warm and prevent him from undressing, but the Grobag surprised me with some additional benefits. The first night he wore it; Lucas slept more peacefully than he ever has! We watched him on the monitor and we immediatley noticed that he wasn't tossing or turning in bed. Also, we have been very concerned that he will start climbing out of the crib. He has hardwood floors in his room so I shudder at the thought of him attempting to climb out and falling. The Grobag is great because it actually prevents him from climbing out! Truly, the Grobag is the BEST baby sleeping bag that I have ever used, seen, or heard of!As if all of the above weren't enough, Grobags are available in so many cute styles! Here are a few of my personal favorites:
Want It: Grobags can be purcahsed online at Keen Distribution and retail for $34.99.
This contest is closed. Congratulations to the winner, Dina. Winner has been emailed and has 48 hours to contact me.

I'd like to try "The Mommy Hook", I've never seen that. I'd feel better knowing my purse couldn't walk off in the store.
I love the phrase, 'home grown baby'. I also like the "tutti fruitti" as purple is one of our favorite colors. Thanks =) priscillawallace(at)sbcglobal(dot)net
