Mamas & Papas Dream pod

Quite expensive (£32) but is very soft cotton t-shirting material, has a convenient zip most of the way around, washes well and has been tumble dried several times. Nice colours too. I would buy it again.

I bought two of these in different togs - they look great, and the zip-up front is good, but there is absolutely no stretch or give in the fabric, meaning that it's almost impossible to get a child's arms through the arm holes to get it on or off.

The pros: it looks nice.

The cons: it is very pricey, fabric is stiff so bunches up around the face when carrying baby, and worst of all, it has fixed armholes (no poppers or stretchy bits) so is a real struggle to get into at the time when you want to be most calm and relaxed.
