Gro-bag with an older child??

[MadameJ]

DD (20 months) always wore a gro-bag when she was younger but when she started standing/walking I just gave her a low tog quilt instead as she was falling over a lot by standing on the bag.

We have now brought a caravan and are hoping to have a few weekends away this year. A gro-bag would be really usefull as obviously it gets quite chilly in a caravan during the colder months and DD tends to wriggle out of her quilt several times a night at home.

Has anyone used a gro-bag with an older child or has anyone got any other ideas to keep DD snuggly? Thanks x

Ds was super attached to his and we got him a much bigger one that he was in until about six and a half

You can buy them up to age 10.

Thanks Gobblersknob, I didn't know they made them so big!! I will have a look online. Thanks!

DS2 wore his until at least 2.5 when he went into a bed.

Vertbaudet do ones with removable sleeves, they might be good for a caravan.

mine was in his till he went into a bed at 2.3. enjoying getting them out for DS2!

Well you do learn something new everyday....10 years old you say! Well I never.

We have one with arms, it was brilliant in the winter.

You can buy them much bigger in limited styles from jojo - seems like the I vinous choice but child sleeping might be cheaper

ds (3.5) has always slept in one and I am continuing to wedge him into his 18-36 month ones as I am too mean to buy a 3-6 years one .

If you have one near you, TK Maxx often has 18-36 month Grobags for sale, but they may be in "boys" designs, but that never bothered me (ds is using a flowery one of his sister's!)

There are loads on eBay.

John Lewis and h&m also sell them up to 36m. Ds is 2.8 and still uses them. Primark sell cheap fleecy sleepsuits that would be cosy underneath

I'd like one for myself.

You can also get babygrow type things that are furry/warm. We used these when DS went into a bed. Mothercare sell them as do (I think) primarni and so do sainsbury's sometimes

Mothercare call there babygrow things walk in sleeper. Sorry cant do the link. Buy one get one half price at the moment
