The Gro Company says: "The Gro Company is a Devon-based global nursery brand that has recently been acquired by its management team under a management buyout agreement. As an award-winning and industry accredited manufacturer of safer sleep solutions, we produce a range of much loved products for babies and young children. We are most famous for the multi-award winning Grobag, the No1 baby sleep bag brand in The UK and Australia which has changed the way babies are put to bed."
Harlow received the Tribal Travel Grobag to try which is suitable for a boy or girl due to it's unisex colours. It came packaged in a simple grobag shaped cardboard sleeve which has a wealth of information included on it. You can either recycle if you're used to using grobags or you can keep for future reference. It tells you the correct sizing to suit your baby and it also tells you which tog rating to use. This is really useful and takes the stress out of making sure your baby is snug, safe and content. Included along with the grobag is a handy room/ nursery thermometer which of course tells you the temperature of the room but on the back it also tells you what tog to use for which temperature and what your baby should wear before being put in the grobag. I love this thermometer and The Gro Company include it free for every 0-6 month or 6-18 month grobags, brilliant!
The Tribal Travel Grobag is available in a 2.5 tog and 1.0 tog warmth ratings, and is available in sizes 0-6 months, 6-18 months and 18-36 months. The 0-6 month size has handy under arm poppers which can be used for babies between 8.8lb and 10lb to stop their arms going back inside the grobag. It's worth noting that your baby cannot use a grobag unless they are 8.8lbs in weight or over. This is for safety reasons i.e. your baby's head may not be big enough yet so could slip into the grobag. I didn't use this grobag until Harlow was almost 9lbs just to be on the safe side. It fits her perfectly well now though and she's very happy in it. The 2.5 tog grobag has a quick dry polyester filling which is handy in the winter months since you can't really get your washing outside to dry but instead have to dry in the house. The 1.0 tog is 100% cotton throughout but both ratings can be tumble dried on a low heat.
The prices for this grobag vary depending on the size so it's £25.99 for the 0-6 month, £28.99 for the 6-18 month and £30.00 for the 18-36 month. Sounds expensive however if your child is wearing their grobag every night (or almost depending on washing) then the wears per price makes it definitely worth it. Stockists include Mothercare and John Lewis and there's plenty of online stores or you can purchase directly from The Gro Company themselves.
Overall I love Grobags, they make baby sleeping so much easier and safer and definitely give me peace of mind. They wash well and last the test of time. I even have all of Logan's old grobags from when he was little which he used constantly and Harlow will use them when she's big enough. I think the pricing is fair and they're an all round great purchase. A product which I'll definitely be recommending to friends and family.

HUGE fan of Grobags here, have used them with all my children, they seem to sleep so much better in them than with blankets etc. Thanks for linking up with #TriedTested
As always, your home is just enchanting! You have SO many, darling touches. Makes me want to move right in! Love the whimsical kitchen sink skirt and I'm determined to copy hanging one of my vintage sleds over my table this year.Calgary travel agency
I was looking for something like this for when we went to Spain. We visit relatives in Devon and this would be great to fit into the car rather than our bulky one. Vespa food tour siem reap
