Snugbags Merino Toddler Marine Winter
4 reviews
Incredibly weak snaps DO NOT Recommend – I would really advise against this product, due to several flaws: one, after one wash and one wear one side of the velcro came off. So that morning I found my daughter with one foot sticking out of the sack, pulling on her foot and crying. Two, the underarm snaps are super weak, those did not hold at all, which allowed my daughter to slip her arms inside the sack - however one can sew the sides together, which I did. And three, the snaps at the shoulders are incredibly easy to unsnap, such that my 18-month-old daughter had no problem unsnapping them herself, so on morning two I found her halfway out of the sack in a 62 degree room. The neck hold is such that you cannot sew the snaps closed, you will not be able to fit it over an infant's head. Customer support from Snugbags was polite but basically said, "Tough Luck, we can't do anything for you, our snaps are fine." $115 dollars down the drain! By way of reference, my daughter is not any more able to get out of her other clothes and sleep sacks than any other child (ie, she's never undone the snaps on any other piece of clothing).
Snuggliest, warmest, lovely bag – I purchased the 0-2 bag for my first child (almost 4 years ago) after lots of research and was very happy with how snuggly and warm my son was, I will be using for my third child this coming winter too as I prefer it to my Go-Go Bag. The only negative about it is that my second child has worn away the padding (not the merino or the top cotton layer, but the duvet middle) where her feet were from kicking as babies do. This does not affect the usability of the bag and is only noticeable when on the clothesline (being held up to the light etc)
I also bought the 2-4 (2 years ago) and have found this to be of better quality with a slightly different finish around the edges, which i prefer. My son used this until he went into a bed, however my daughter soon learnt that she could pop the domes and would be out of it, I used to put her back in before I went to bed, however she would get out again and subsequently wake. In the end I purchased an alternative brand that had a zip down the front, but its not as warm, so she needed a blanket as well.
Overall I think these are a great product and value for money, the only improvement I could suggest would be to provide an alternative in the 2-4 size with a zipper front closure.
Has been great for the cold winter nights – While my grandson was little, under two years old, the snug bag was fantastic, it kept him warm and helped him sleep better, the car seat flap was very handy. I had considered buying him the next stage up but he has learnt how to pull the shoulder and get the domes undone and when I go in to him in the morning he has climbed out so unfortunately I wont be investing in the next size up unless there is a new design that is harder for toddlers to undo.
Beautiful sleeping bag,our toddler loves it! – We purchased a standard weight Snugbag (2-4yrs) for our little one and it we loved it, so we got a Winter one as well. The winter one is nice and warm and the merino in both bags keeps her at the right temperature. After trying a few other bags we found the Snugbag to be the best, it is by far the warmest and most comfortable sleeping bag on the market (we also have a Woolbabe Duvet but our little one MUCH prefers her Snugbag, as it is a lot softer and therefore more comfortable to sleep in). They are great quality and last really well and the fact they are made in NZ is very important to us. I couldn't recommend Snugbags highly enough. Comfortable, durable, great value for money!
