Two go go bags for $200?

The sleep store is running a promotion for two merino kids go go bags for $199. Do you think it's worth it? I've just seen that one bag (on a different website) is $179 so it seems like a good deal. But are they really all they're cracked up to be? I don't want to fork out $200 for something I'll hardly ever use

Trouble is, Alex is still in his bassinet (not for much longer though) so I don't know whether he'll be a blanket-kicker-offer in his cot or not.

When you are looking at sleeping bags remember that the gogo bags are from newborn till 2 years. A lot of bags are just for a 6month period so you would need four to cover the same period of time as the gogo bag. I bought them as i think that they are good quality and as i said will last longer, expensive initial outlay but i've heard good reviews.

I didn't realise they last till age 2, that makes quite a bit of difference. Sounds like a good price if they last that long, especially if their resale is high as well

Hi

I bought the 2 for 200 deal, and figured I could sell one on TM if we didn't use it, and we wouldn't need to buy cot blankets, so would save $$ there.

I also thought the winter weight one might be good for using in the pram during winter.

Gogo bags seem to be the only sleeping bags that do until 2 years, so might actually work out cheaper than needing to buy a second or third bag. In saying that there are some new marino bags for sale on TM for $50 that look quite good.

gogo bags seem to wash well.

We have two over here too, one winter and one summer. Possibly one of our best buys!

The price made my eyeballs pop right out of my head but after using them for several months I would absolutely say go for it!

They are gorgeous to feel and do wash really well.

I don't know about the go go bags but the slumbersac came with a room thermometer and chart telling you what they need to wear at what temp. I expect the go go people probably have something similar.

wow, thanks I have been wanting one. Great price. and I checke dout trademe and the resell for over $100

It really is a good buy - one winter weight for temps below 18degrees (we're using this one at night at the mo) and a summer one for temps above 18.
When we first started using it we used it with blankets as well (Kaleb would kick his legs in the air) but the last 3 days we haven't and he's still settled reasonably quickly. Under the winter one he wears a woollen singlet, cotton pjs and socks then he wears mittens on his hands. At the moment he's asleep in a cotton vest/singlet and a cotton bodysuit (short sleeved) with the bag on.
I have found they are excellent for sleeping in when not at home - very easy to transfer baby to carseat then to cot when you get home
I initially didn't really like the idea of it and only started using it because it was a rather expensive gift but we liked it so much we went and bought the show special.
Sorry for the novel but HTH

Oh and FYI the special is running on the sleepstore website til SUnday.
