Winter is coming, which means really cold weather! I had the opportunity to try a Gro-suit, a sleeper for baby.

The Gro-suit has been specially designed to be used with a Grobag Baby Sleep Bag in colder temperatures. The quilted sleeves will keep your baby’s arms warm, with no need for additional bedding or layers.

We have always used our Grobag in the winter months but found that our daughter’s arms were cold because the Grobag doesn’t cover the arms. The Gro-suit solved this problem.

The Gro-suit has extra fabric in the arm area which is designed to keep the arms warm. The packaging suggests you only use the grow suit and grow bag together when it is 18 degree Celsius or below.

We had a few cold nights without the heat on, so I was able to test this out. It kept our daughter really warm. When it wasn’t as cold in the bedroom, I still used the Gro-suit with just a onesie underneath. I really liked how it was versatile and could be used with the Gro-suit or without it.

The Gro-suit is made with very soft jersey knit cotton and well made. I love that it comes in a twin pack, the value is great and I thought the flower pattern was really cute.  It was also very true to size.  I am not a fan of grommets (I love sleepers with zippers for easy night time diaper changes) but these were actually easy to open and close, which was a nice surprise.

The sleeves are extra long, so my daughters hands were kept warm all night. The sleeves could also be rolled up as well.  I even used the grow suit a few times without the grow bag on, when the house was warmer.  I washed and dried it several times and it kept its size, shape and softness.

All and all I really liked this product and will continue to use it until the spring.
