does anyone have one of these? They look great and would keep DS1 feet warm cause he always kicks off his covers, but I have a couple of questions.
How long is it? DS1 iis over 85cm so is taller than the average 2 year old, will he still fit them? Are they easy for him to walk in? Are they easy to use for little babies? the folding seems like it would be hard to get to nappies for changes. thanks ------------- http://www.alterna-tickers.com">

I haven't used one but they do make a toddler size - which is 100cm long, so at least it should fit! ------------- http://lilypie.com">

This is probably a bit better if you want something they can walk in... |

Do you find yours heavy? i must say i have never had any other so i would'nt no if its heavy. I got them with 2 layers of merino and outside fabric. I love them. It was the price that made me go with them. Being only $70 and $80 and they dont look weird like some others  ------------- DD 12 DS 9.5 DD 6 DS 4 DD 23 months and here comes number 6 http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow"> |

Hi
I just bought an AWESOME one off trade me. It was buy now $40 + postage. My son is almost 2 and is quite tall as well. He has been wriggling out of his blankets for the last few weeks and waking up. He used to be in a go go bag but outgrew it months ago. I wasn't going to buy the next size up but after the last few weeks I decided it was worth it..... Well he's back to sleeping 12 hours a night so definitely worth the money. We just put him in a singlet & long sleeved pj's and the bag with no blankets at all but we do have a heat pump in the hallway set to 20 degrees.

It is quite heavy - ours is 2 layers of merino too, bit I figure it stops her moving around too much!! This is the only merino one Ive had - the others have been cotton - grobags. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

I know! Great price as I was looking at buying a 2nd hand Grobag off trade me and they were selling for more than the one I bought which is new! They're lovely quilted cotton. I had one merino and one cotton one for when my son was younger but am definitely loving this one too. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

I love those snugglesuits, but I can't really justify the price.
I bought two dimples sleep sacs from sleep store and they are both in them now, they are very snuggly, but I fear I have a teensy case of buyers regret, seeing those great sleeping bag people are posting, also I bought a sleeping bag from farmers today for $12.50 ( I figure it helps to have a spare) and since the dimples one cost 10x that amount to do essentially the same thing, it seems a little crazy. Anyway just quickly the sleep sacs fit my 85cm tall quite well, with it domed so it has legs, so that is good because he can climb back into bed when he falls out, but because they are domed I think it will pop a lot, how annoying, And nappy changes haven't been too bad.
