Can someone just spell out to me what makes a grobag a travel grobag?! I have a grobag that I inherited that has a velcro slit at the bag, but that looks like it's for nappy checking so I assume there's another with various holes in for seatbelts?!


Does anyone know of other makes than the grobag ones? For some reason I really struggle getting my big baby in and out of the grobag, with its central zip, whereas my Jojo ones with zip down the side, and poppers at the shoulder, are much easier.


Also he is only 12 weeks but almost touching the end of his 0-6months Jojo one when he stretches out - I assume there's no issue with getting a 6-18month one, as long as I am sure he can't slip down into it?


Thanks

As ClareC says, any travel sleeping bag will have a zip centre front and centre back so you can bring the buckle which goes between babies legs through to insert the shoulder straps into. I was lent one which I'm pretty sure wasn't an actual Grobag....have you tried Google - a search on 'travel sleeping bags' might bring something up. Edited to add I found these:

Looks good as you can actually turn it into 2 separate legs, so no fiddling trying to get baby out of car/bucket through sleeping bag, which I sometimes found tricky.

Size wise, no issue with going up a size, as long as they are not too huge on him. You may find that length wise he doesn't get a lot longer over the next few months as at his stage babies often go 'out' (i.e. getting chubbier) rather than up, so see how it goes. I have a couple of sleeping bags that fold up at the back and then popper fasten to themselves to make them shorter, then you open them up to the full lenth as baby grows - they've been very good. They have central zips but I don't find it tricky to get baby into them, so maybe yours are just on the small size in general?


Hope you manage to get sorted.

    • CPR Dave, attendance records are available on Southwark's website. Maggie Browning has attended 100% of meetings. Jon Hartley has attended 65%.
    • I do hope NOT, wouldn't trust Farage as far as I could throw him, Starmer & co.  He's backed by GB News which focus's predominantly on immigration while the BBC focus predominantly on the Israel - Gazza conflict.   
    • Everyone gets the point that Corbynites try to make with the "total number of votes cast" statistic, it's just a specious one.  In 2017, Corbyn's Labour got fewer votes than May's Tories (both the percentage of votes and aggregate number of votes). In 2019, Corbyn's Labour fewer votes than Johnson's Tories (both the percentage of votes and aggregate number of votes); and he managed to drop 2.7 million votes or 6.9% of vote share between the two elections. I repeat, he got trounced by Boris F***ing Johnson and the Tories after the Brexit omnishambles. It is not true that a "fairer" electoral system would have seen Labour beat the Tories: Labour simply got fewer votes than the Tories. Corbyn lost twice. There is no metric by which he won the general election. His failure to win was a disaster for the UK, and let Johnson and Truss and Sunak into office. Corbynites have to let go of this delusion that Corbyn but really won somehow if you squint in a certain way. It is completely irrelevant that Labour under Corbyn got more votes than Labour under Starmer. It is like saying Hull City was more successful in its 2014 FA Cup Final than Chelsea was in its 2018 FA Cup Final, because Hull scored 2 goals when Chelsea only scored 1. But guess what - Chelsea won its game and Hull City lost. Corbyn's fans turned out to vote for him - but an even larger group of people who found him repellant were motivated enough to show up and vote Tory.
    • I guess its the thing these days to demonstrate an attitude, in this instance seemingly of the negative kind, instead of taking pride in your work and have standards then 🤷‍♀️
