CHILDREN’S SLEEPING BAGS

Kids love anything that is sized just for them. They struggle daily to move chairs made for grownups, see over railings made for grownups, sweep the floor with brooms made for grownups. So if you give them kid-sized sleeping bags, not only does it make more room in the tent, they’re proud to have their own sleeping bags made just for kids. Children’s sleeping bags come in a wide range of styles and comfort ratings. Some are made primarily for indoor sleepovers or summer backyard campouts, while others are designed for high-altitude, winter-weather camping. They are smaller than adult bags, but otherwise good-quality children’s bags are exactly like those made for adults. Well, except they also come in a variety of colors (yellow, green, lavender) and patterns (cars, princesses, flowers) that you just won’t find in adult bags.

Slumberjack Go-N-Grow Sleeping Bag

One issue many parents face over buying quality children’s sleeping bags is the fact that children grow. All too quickly that special bag is just too short, but an eight-year-old can easily get lost in an adult bag. Slumberjack’s Go-N-Grow bag is a perfect solution. This sleeping bag features an expandable footbox that grows with your child, providing several more inches—and years—to the bag. Available in navy, sunset, or charcoal, the bag features Slumberjack HQ fill for a +30 degrees F. rating, polyester taffeta fabric, adjustable hood, and anti-snag zipper protection.

Eureka Grasshopper/Lady Bug Mummy Bag

This bag comes in two styles: the Grasshopper (green) and the Lady Bug (purple). It features mummy-style construction and premium polyester fill for a +30 degrees F. rating. Kid-friendly design includes a two-way, self-repairing zipper, an adjustable contoured hood, and an inside stash pocket, handy for keeping track of that favorite sleep toy.

Cocoon Kid’s Fleece Sleeping Bag

Design Salt’s Cocoon sleeping bag line includes Kidbags, created for sleepers five feet tall and under. This fleece bag is perfect for summer camping in warm climates. The ripstop nylon outer shell is water resistant and the micro-fleece lining stays dry in high humidity. And for those restless sleepers, the Cocoon bag is extra roomy.
