Muslin bag ripped first time used
Bought a muslin sleep bag for summer. It came apart at the seam the first time I used it. Used again the second night and another seam has come undone. where is the quality?

Have since been contacted by Plum and have been sent a new one. It seems to be more layers (thicker) muslin which hopefully will hold together better, but thicker means it isnt as useful on the 30+ da...

DISAPPOINTED!
I have only ever bought grobag brand sleep bags for my two year old and have loved all of them with no complaints. They are very good quality and remain in excellent condition even after my daughter has outgrown them. I also love that you can tumble dry the grobag brand sleep bags. I was reluctant to try another brand but decided to buy a plum sleep bag in size 18 - 36m a few months ago as this size in grobag was sold out when I visited David Jones (I also thought that since this is the only other sleep bag brand sold on the SIDS website that t...
Read morehis constituted an endorsement of sorts). All I can say is I am very DISAPPOINTED! You cannot tumble dry the plum sleep bags and if you do (like I did) it will unevenly distribute the filling. Compared to grobag sleep bags, the plum bag also feels thinner (despite same tog rating 2.5) and more flimsy. But I haven't even gotten to my biggest problem (and reason for this review). The plum sleep bags in the size I bought have a side zip and two stud buttons to fasten each shoulder. My daughter has worked out that with a couple of tugs around the sleeves she can pop the stud buttons open and pull the sleep bag down - and off. So thanks to this awful design my daughter wakes up cold during the night after pulling the bag off and just woke up from her afternoon nap after 20 minutes - once again because she had pulled the bag off prior to falling asleep. I am now pulling my hair out because I normally get to rest myself for at least 2 hours in the afternoon. Never again will I buy the plum brand. Off to buy another grobag now. Nothing Stud buttons at shoulders pop open with a couple of tugs and the bag is easily pulled offPlum Sleeping Bags
I bought two winter sleeping bags last year. Recently the filling has started to form lumps, making them unusable. It is forming lumps on the back near the neck. I am very disappointed as initially I was impressed with their quality. I will only be buying Gro bags in the future...
The filling is clumping together.

3-12 month 3.5TOG long sleeve sleepbag.
Concerned about this as i couldnt try on when at shop but measuring it up to him once home i dont see how its compatible to that big of a age range..
Is it safe to use even thou the arms are way to long, i feel like his arms will slide out of the arms.. Hes 4.5 months so well into the age rage suggested?

I don’t think it’s safe for little babies - the arms are too thick for them to roll back if they manage to roll over. I returned mine, my daughter couldn’t roll back in it and she was 7 months old at the time.

Passing on what i think
Tried the latest style of muslin bags and thought they initially held together better, after a month of use again it is coming apart at the seam (this time around the zipper).
