Hi everyone,

So now that its getting a bit colder I want to get my little guy another sleeping bag as he is waking up with freezing hands. At the moment he wears a Merino Kids but I was thinking of getting a more substantial one...have seen one called a Winter Weight Organic Cotton ergoPouch. Has anyone got one of these or can anyone recommend a reasonably priced alternative?

Thanks :)

You can get a merino kids winter weight one. It is much thicker than the standard one. I use that plus woolen blanketsand it keeps my girl warm. I also have a heater on low in her room as otherwise it would go waaaay below 18 deg. Her hands still get a bit cold but the rest of her is warm so its not a issue.

I have a winter weight Merino Kids bag and I put DS in a merino onesie and either long sleeved or short sleeved bodysuit and DS is toasty warm. The room goes below 18C so I sometimes put the heater on too. Love the Go Go bags...mainly because it's all natural fibres.

The sleep store seem to recommnend the woolbabe duvet sleeping bag. Its $150. But it looks like it would last longer than the ergoPouch, as its 3-24months, whereas the ergoPouch is 12 months. I'm looking at getting the woolbabe one, if his baby bundles bag doesn't cut it for winter.

So glad I checked in here as I guess everyone is thinking the same thing at the moment - which sleeping bag???
My sister and I are thinking of getting the 2 pack winter Woolbabes bags as we both have babies the same age. Has anyone used these? At the moment I have Go Go bags on loan but they are a bit of a pain to thread the zip each time with a wriggly 10 month old. Also I can't find anywhere that sells the duvet weight Go Go one now..

I love my woolbabe and its much longer than my gogo bag one. Both shoulders unbutton so DS just slips in and out the top, hardly ever use the zip!

I got the 2 pack dimples ones for DS2, cotton for autumn, though it is fine for Winter with a couple layers underneath and a merino one for winter which is lovely and warm, they are quite pricey thou, I think I paid $125 each. DS1 did fine with the dreambaby ones, which are like quilts, you can get them from Baby city and maybe the sleep store and they only cost around $60.

I'm looking at getting the ergopouch too. My wee boy has just outgrown his gogo bag (0-2?? whatever)
Right now he's in a grobag which is good but is too long and keeps getting tangled up.
I love the look of the ergo pouch and they do have one from 12 to 36months.

I have a woolbabe too (though mine doesnt undo at the shoulders at all - bumsauce, as pulling his hands in and out of the arm holes is a pain) and DS is snug in it. He has a wool blanket on top and sleeps in a long sleeved/legged merino AIO. Have a heater on low as well. We live in Mt Cook (the mountain, not the wellington suburb) and its already snowed 3x this year and he's warm as.

Hi I am from Australia and ergoPouch Cocoon couldn’t get much easier,they are the most soft and comfortable sleeping suits ever ,This worked wonderfully and I felt quite confident bringing my new born home wrapping her up each sleep
