Product Description

Manufacturer's Description

Peace of mind at a glance

The innovative grobag egg™ changes colour to let you know at a glance whether the temperature of a room is too low, too high or just right, helping you maintain a safe sleeping environment for your baby. As an added bonus it even works well as a gentle night light.



Easy to understand colour coded system indicates room temperature

A yellow glow suggests a comfortable temperature for baby to sleep in, whilst a blue glow suggests it's too cold and a red glow suggests it's too high. The colours act as a reminder for you to cool or heat the room, or to modify the baby's clothing, use a different tog grobag® baby sleeping bag or for non-sleeping bag users to alter the level of bedding.




Combined digital thermometer with permanent 'back-lit' LCD readout and a gentle night light
Please note that Grobag egg is designed to glow in darker conditions. In light rooms, please use the digital display.

Inaccurate 24 Sep 2008
We bought the Grobag Egg and have found that it's about 2 degrees C higher than it should be. I'm sending it back to the manufacturer. I emailed them and they replied saying that it should be accurate from between + or - 1 degree C.

Apparently they test all the Eggs that come back to them in a `draft proofed box for approximately 3 hours with a thermocouple attached to a calibrated Digitron thermometer' and observe the temperature readings through a window.

They apportion typical reasons for inaccurate readings down to customers handling the sensor, errors in other measuring devices, differences in air current and sunlight!

All I can say is that ours sat undisturbed out of direct sunlight on a bedside table, in a small bedroom, that had a window and door - much like most peoples nursery.

I tested the Egg against a mercury thermometer, a digital one and our room Digistat. The Egg was 2 degrees C over the other 3.

I think perhaps the manufacturer should test the Egg in a real life environment and not a lab, and should not set the display to read to 1 decimal place when they only regard it accurate to + or - 1 degree C.

It's not something that gives us peace of mind and in my view it's a fun gadget only and should not be relied on for accurate room temperature readings. We paid £20 for it and that's too expensive for what is really only coloured light. Even if they got the accuracy to within + or - 1 degree C, that's a significant temperature difference and you can get more accurate thermometers for a lot less.

I await the results of their test on our Egg.

I also found the Grobag Egg to be very unreliable. We just happened to have another thermometer in the room, and the two never agreed, with the Grobag Egg sometimes showing quite unlikely readings (usually too high).

On the positive side, if the room does go too cold (and the egg feels like showing it), the blue light is actually bright enough to wake you up, but as it's so hard to decide whether it's giving an accurate reading, even that is a bit useless. Looks pretty as a night light, though.

Egg-cellent Product 20 Feb 2007
By KAT
I purchased an Egg for my little boys room over a year ago. The product has worked for 24 hours a day, seven days a week since we plugged it in - we never touch it and it has been fine. We have had some power cuts and it just comes back on again afterwards and has been great. It looks really funky in his room and is very useful at night-time as we can just pop our head around his door and instantly check the room temperature without disturbing him. We checked the temperature against some other digital thermometers and we found that all vary by a degree or two, depending upon how they have been calibrated. We have found our Egg to be quite accurate and certainly as a quick visual temperature indicator has been very helpful.
