The colour changing feature is good and easy to see the average room temperature suitability, however the digital temperature display is useless. Although your instincts might tell you to keep your baby’s nursery warmer than the rest of the house, the safe sleep charity The Lullaby Trust recommends that the ideal temperature should be between 16°C and 20°C.

A room thermometer will help monitor the nursery's temperature and give parents peace of mind, and many models can be used to measure bath water too, so you only need to buy one thermometer to serve both purposes. Making sure your baby’s room isn’t too hot or cold is VERY important, with a temperature between 16 and 20 degrees ideal for their safety and comfort, whether it's during the day or night. I’ve found the Groegg2 to be both accurate and consistent when measuring it against the readings of my home’s Hive thermostat system. While there’s usually a difference of 0.2 degrees between the two readings, the results are close enough for me to feel reassured of the Groegg2's accuracy.

The Groegg 2 comes with an updated and improved night light feature with a brighter design than the original gro egg. This feature we didn’t use so much with the babies, however once they hit toddlerhood and discovered a fear of the dark, it became super handy. These colours are replicated across the tog labelling for all Tommee Tippee sleepwear. This makes it easier for parents to decide how to dress their children for bedtime for a comfortable night’s sleep.Is the Groegg good? The Gro-Egg includes a lot of features that give me confidence that my child’s room is at a safe temperature for sleep. It’s also really easy to use because all you have to do is plug it in! It can be hard to get the right balance though, which is why parents are choosing to invest in a digital room thermometer to give them peace of mind while their baby is asleep. After 12 months of consistent use with a baby, from the newborn stage all the way to toddlerhood, I think the Groegg2 is an accurate and well-designed baby thermometer that’s easy to use, simple to interpret and worth the spend, but only if you feel you need the extra reassurance. What we like You can buy more sophisticated (and expensive) models that have other functions such as a nightlight or colour-change feature so you can see whether the room is the right temperature – even with the lights out.

Alexandra: Yes I would I am not aware of many products which tell you the temperature of the room and give yoh a guide in this way I like the warm night light and compared to other night lights it doesn't get too hot which is fantastic as little hand get everywhere I have also been concerned with lights that get hot. Rachel: I think the flaw of the product is it’s longevity. If it can double up as a nightlight it would add so much as a feature for as the baby grows but also for a toddler to use. It would a great feature to have the amber light as an option to turn on in nightlight ‘mode’ rather than having it glow blue for example… It also changes colour depending on the temperature, to red for when it's getting too warm, and blue when it's getting coldSleeker than its predecessor, with an LED display that’s easier to read and new adjustable brightness levels, the silicone design of the Groegg2 means it’s softer to the touch than the original Groegg and more able to withstand accidental drops. How accurate and consistent is the Groegg2? Well-known baby brand Tommee Tippee has created a useful thermometer that does double duty for both using in the nursery and at bath time.
