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 .

* Keep grobag® baby sleeping bags away from fire
* If your baby shares your bed, make sure they are only in a grobag® baby sleeping bag and not under your own bedding as well
* Remember to check your baby regularly

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 sleep bag is when your baby weighs more than 8 lbs 8oz (0-6 mths size). It is very important to check that your baby’s head cannot pass through the neck-hole when the Grobag is fastened for use. Please remember that these are recommendations only as all babies are different.

Choosing the right Tog

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

What to wear with a Grobag

What your baby wears will depend on the tog of Grobag baby sleep bag and the temperature of the baby's bedroom. (In the same way as you would adjust nightclothes and number of blankets). As a guide, please refer to the table below. Please remember, though, that babies are all different and, just as with blankets and sheets, you will soon discover what your baby is most comfortable wearing -- placing your fingers on your baby’s chest is the best indicator of whether they are too hot/too cold/just right as babies’ hands often feel cool.
