Bambino Merino Clearance

Bambino Merino are having a clearance sale at the moment with their sleeping bags (which are great, and absolutely fantastic quality) now being priced at £29.95.

Well worth grabbing a couple if you are looking for a baby sleeping bag. They are quite long, and go up to age 2 in the one size.

    Hi
    Thanks for posting, however I do not see how this is a good deal? Sleeping Bag Special Offer Price: £89.90 for 2!
    Even at half price its exxtortion imho. Me and all my friends and family use www.designerkidsandbaby.co.uk, great pruducts, value for money and perfect service every time. Its 24.99 for 2 on their special offer and not much more if you order seperateky.
  • The ones that are £29.95 are factory seconds or returns it appears -

    A genuine question here (from a newish mum!) - what is so much better about expensive sleeping bags over cheaper ones? I paid £6 in the sale (only £12 full price) for my last one from George (Asda) and it couldn't fault it to be honest. Just wondered what the more expensive ones have that mine don't?

    Asda/ matalan/ tesco ect, they are all one, they are all good enough quality and are certainly not going to harm your baby! as with other brands. £6 in the sale- you get as good a product for £6 imho. Only thing is Asda/ matalan/ tesco dont do the bigger sizes so we go to designerkidsandbaby.co.uk for ours.

    i really wouldn't worry! its just playing on your 'want to get baby the best' instinct!! most of my bags came from ebay for a few ££, i bought one new from mothercare 29.99!) when i forgot to take it on a trip and it was no diffrent to the second hand or ones i bought from asda.

    I have two of these for my little one, they are great. They cost more because they are made of wool which keeps children warm in the winter and cool in the summer. I highly recommend! :j

    I picked up really long ones in tkmaxx they were brill bit dearer at £12 but the lasted ages as they had a fold over bit with popper's which undid when my dd got longer. she was a little wriggler & always kicked the cover's off at night. I would recommend sleeping bags to any new parent but the cheaper ones are great, can't say anything about the dearer one's but does seem a bit much to me.
    Booo!!!
