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.

    • I am trying to find out about people's experiences of the 4+ and 7+ assessments. I am a teacher and have a wealth of experience tutoring for theses assessments (including my own son), but it's always good to keep on top of things as they always make tweaks to them. TIA! 
    • "You have no idea why"   To be fair Sue, it's blindingly obvious to anyone who has a conversation with anyone who isn't a Corbyn supporter. And even some who liked Corbyn (like me initially) found him somewhat flaky even at his most popular But let's say you are right and I have NO idea why anybody might not vote for him. They still didn't vote for him. He lost two elections. The second one badly (and strongly predicted but the stubborn old goat wouldn't budge so we we were stuck with Johnson and another 3 million PMs in the 5 years that followed) So even with ZERO evidence, we have our eyes and ears and brains But we do have evidence   https://yougov.co.uk/politics/articles/27022-their-own-words-why-voters-abandoned-labour
    • As I said, it was my understanding. I worded it very carefully. I didn't/don't know for sure, so clearly not a fact. And hardly an "opinion", which is something completely different. You have no idea what reason anybody might have had for not voting for him (unless you can point to some opinion poll results which actually asked people?)
