Pros

With a 4.5-star rating, parents love the ergoPouch Sleep Suit Bag 2.5 Tog. One parent said it’s so cuddly and warm, with many agreeing that it’s perfect for winter. 

Another parent said: “The jersey material is beautifully soft and the quilting is perfectly snuggly and warm when the temp drops.”

Cons

One mum says her daughter finds it hard to walk in. 

“I found my daughter was unable to walk when the bag was used as a suit because the “legs” are quite baggy. So she mostly used it as a bag, which she loved,” she said.

Sample review

“Perfect bedtime attire. My baby absolutely loves his sleep suits, and so do I! They’re soft, warm, and give me the peace of mind that my babe will be warm at night. He can’t kick off his covers and be chilly or get tangled in his sheets. The tog rating is great for knowing what to dress him in at night too. I have all of the tog ratings so there’s an option for every night.”

Pros

Love to Dream is the cheaper of the two. Lots of parents say their children were kept nice and warm wearing this sleep suit during winter nights and also when they get up in the morning.

Cons

Some parents found that if their child wasn’t wearing ‘the feet’, the material was a little tight around the ankles.

Sample review

“I used this for my 2 older kids last winter and they were amazing. Both my kids don’t keep blankets on at night so these suits really helped to keep them warm on those cold winter nights and mornings. The sizing is quite decent, the ones I purchased last year can be worn again this winter as my kids still have plenty of growing room. My only downfall I found was if my son wasn’t wearing the feet the material was quite tight around his ankles, however he is a chunky boy. Overall excellent product and well worth the money.”
