Composition

Almost all grobag® baby sleeping bags have 100% cotton lining to go next to your baby's skin. Much of the range also has 100% cotton outer fabric. This means that you can choose a 1.0 tog of a 0.5 tog grobag® baby sleeping bag for your baby which is 100% cotton.

A few of our designs do not have 100% cotton outer fabric. For example, for those who love the softness of polyester fleece, our "Fleecy Bee" design has a soft anti-pill fleece outer and 100% cotton jersey lining.

Our range of 2.5 grobag® baby sleeping bags have a soft polyester filling. This is lightweight and quick to dry.

Our organic range of grobag® baby sleeping bags are made of organic cotton jersey outer and lining. The filling on the 2.5 tog design is 100% cotton.

Zips and poppers are always a chosen from a reputable branded supplier to ensure ongoing quality and safety .

Washing information

grobag® baby sleeping bags can be washed at 40°C and tumble dried on a low heat setting. As with all cotton goods, we have designed the baby sleeping bags to allow for up to 5% shrinkage.

If your child has any allergies and you wish to wash clothes and bedding at 60°C, you should allow for a little more shrinkage. Our Organic grobag® baby sleeping bags can be machine washed at 60°C.

To ensure the long life of your baby sleeping bag the zip must be in the closed position throughout washing, tumble drying and ironing. Place a cloth over the zip when ironing.

Experience has told us that it is usually best to buy 2 grobag® baby sleeping bags - one to wear and one for the wash!

Sizes, togs and what to wear

Choosing a size
An ideal time to start using a grobag® baby sleeping bag is when your baby weighs more than 7 lbs (0-6 mths size). It is very important to check that your baby's head cannot pass through the neck-hole when the grobag® baby sleeping bag is fastened for use. Please remember that there are recommendations only as all babies are different. You will soon discover the best level of clothing for your individual baby.

Make sure that your baby's legs and feet have freedom to move about, by ensuring that the grobag® baby sleeping bag is long enough for your baby. The lengths of grobag® baby sleeping bags (from shoulder to bottom) are:

0-6 m 76cm
6-18 m 94cm
18-36m 112cm

Choosing a Tog

A tog measurement is a European warmth rating: the higher the tog, the warmer the product. grobag® baby sleeping bags are available in three tog ratings.

Please note: A number of external factors determine the tog rating of the sleeping bag that should be used. These include the quantity of clothing the baby is wearing, the temperature of the infant's bedroom, the baby's health and the amount of bedding necessary to keep an individual infant warm - this may vary as it does for adults.

Check your baby regularly to ensure they do not overheat.

Your grobag® baby sleeping bag comes with a free nursery thermometer to help you select which tog baby sleeping bag to use and what sleepwear to put your baby in.
