Tog fot cot bed duvet

I would like to get DD a duvet rather than a gro bag as she is two now. Any ideas on the tog I should get for this time of year. Her room is around 17c at the moment. I get bamboozled by choice. Thank you :)

Sorry for typo in the title, she was crawling on me whilst I was trying to post. Must preview.

DS is 3.4.

We have 3, 4.5 and 9 to duvets for him. Just gone from 4.5 to 9 and his room dips to 16 ish at the mo and goes as low as 14 in deep winter.

Just a tip but we bought single duvets when he was at cotbed stage and just used them horizontally, with the major benefit of loads to tuck in so the don't fall off. And you don't then need new duvets and cover sets when she gives to a single!

Meant to say I'd start with a 4.5 and see how you go. She's used to 2.5 tog presumably anyway from the grobag.

Interested in this thread?

We have a 4.5 tog duvet with gro to bed cover in her pj's with vest dd 2.3 seems more than warm enough on a chilly night

Thanks BarberryRicePud & Notonthisplanet for your replies. Will for a 4.5 tog duvet and good point about a single duvet. I had not thought of that.

Thanks again :)

I'm sure I read a 4.5 tog for cot beds because the surface area underneath the duvet is small - so retains heat. Then toddler bed/single beds can go up in tog as the surface area is bigger? I'm sure I read that on Mothercare.
