My bb has been using sleeping bag since 3 mths old. Now, since our 2nd baby is coming, I am thinking of changing her to a toddler bed. However, since she's wearing a sleeping bag, I don't know how she could sleep on a normal bed, and get out from the bed herself in the morning. If she struggles, she might fall and hurt herself!!

Any idea/experience to share?
 
my daughter is 2yr9mths & she still wears a sleeping bag. she doesn't get out of bed by herself. she calls out, and the nanny comes & remove the bag for her. but my daughter knows how to take it off at around 18mths old. so you can try & teach you bb to open it.

i love putting them in a sleeping bag. it keeps my mind at peace knowing that she's covered. i did try to let her use a blanket, but i freaked out & went to check her every hour!!
 
my children stopped using the sleeping bag around 2.5 years old. by then they could unzip it by themselves and they could actually walk around in it quite well! i wish i could go back to those days...now they don't want the sleeping bag anymore, and i get out of bed at least 3 times a night to check on their blanket situation!
 
My daughter would always kick off her blanket so i finally found this "Big Girl's/Boy's SleepSack Wearable Blanket" by Halo Innovations for 2-5 years. I got it from the States and if I'm not wrong, HK doesn't have it.

HTH
 
knowing how to unzip the grobag is no problem. my daughter was walking aounnd with the grobag hanging on her tail. sometimes, i even leave the end of the zip open & only close it in the middle of the night. it's knowing that their back & chest will be covered throughout the night that gives my mind rest. she's now using the 3-6 years old grobag. difficult to find, but exist.
 
My daughter (2yrs) sleeps in a bed in pyjamas with no blanket, cos she was trying to climb out the crib in her grobag. Don't see why yours couldn't sleep in a bed in a bag as they can walk around. I just needed mine for my son and didn't want to buy more.
 
My daughter is 2 years and 4 months and still using a sleep sack. I couldn't find a bigger grobag so decided to make my own. I buy my own material at the fabric market and get it made for 15 rmb? Better quality and MUCH cheaper than the grobag.
 
Really? Maybe you can make more and sell them out!! :-) I live in Shanghai now and I always need to buy my grobag either in HK or online!!

My daughter hated the sleeping bag at around 2 years old, she could take it off at around 20 months. A little before she turned 2, we moved her to a big bed because I had a little one coming, we just put a small blanket on her but she always kicked it off. She also never got out of bed, we could hear her on the monitor and came to get her in the morning. Now she will use a blanket, we just keep reminding her to every night.
 
My daughter loves her sleep bag! It also gives me peace of mind that she keeps warm all night. I live in Dongguan...and we make our sleepbags here. Some of my friends did considering selling it...but....I hear requirements for child products are very specific.So i just make it for myself and my friends. =)
 
Why don't you just buy sleeping bags that exposes the bottom half of their legs? That way you wouldn't have to worry about them falling over and they can still walk around w/ it on. You can buy it from large dept. stores. I bought mine from Sei Yu (Shatin) and Fa Yuen St., Mong Kok.
 
My daughter is 4 years old and will occassionaly use a Grobag when the weather gets a bit too cold. We have the 3-6 year old one. Its massive but it keeps her warm.
 
I'm considering making one that doesn't have the bottom part or at least make it a zipper at the bottom so u can open or shut it. Good idea! I'll try to get one made here. =) 12 rmb u can't go too wrong!
 
Can get the Halo sleepsacks in Hk now- this is the online store below- excellent for toddlers who kick off their covers and get out of bed. My boy used to use the grobags until he progressed onto his toddler bed- we switched to the halo sleepsack bcos he kept getting out of bed and walking- at least with the sleepsack we don't need to worry about him falling over while walking!

oh yes, forgot to mention that we also brought the grobag duvet as well- brilliant until he started to kick off the covers again- didn't realise it until I saw him sleeping and wriggling and kicking off the duvet- didn't think it was possible because the duvet zips in quite snuggly- just guess I have a right little wriggler on my hands!!! and he was doing it WHILST STILL SLEEPING AHHHHH
