GIRLS’ SLEEPING BAGS

Sleeping bags for girls take the idea of children’s bags one step further, adding touches that only a girl can appreciate. A quick internet search will bring up dozens of choices. There are bags with butterflies, flowers, lady bugs, pink ponies, fairies, ballerinas, and, yes, even princesses. A perfect choice for your own little princess! However, many of these bags are not intended to be used outdoors; they’re for slumber parties and sleepovers at Grandma’s house. Be sure to check before purchasing if your plans include outdoor camping. We chose three bags suitable for camping to highlight here.

Disney Princess Sleeping Bag

Your little one will be charmed by the bold, bright colors of this sleeping bag featuring Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, and Belle. This is a very lightweight bag and works best for summer camping in warm climates or indoors. Both the shell and fill are polyester, and the attached elastic straps provide carrying handles when slipped around the rolled-up bag.

Coleman Girl’s Lights Out Sleeping Bag

This is just one of several sleeping bags Coleman makes for girls. Sized for kids up to four feet, 11 inches tall, the bag features two pounds of synthetic fill to keep your camper snug and cozy in temperatures down to +50 degrees. She’ll like the anti-snag zipper, too. The real treat with this bag, though, is the attached light strip. Battery-free, it will stay lit for up to four hours from one five-minute charge in the sun or under lamplight.

American Trails Youth Urban Camo Sleeping Bag

After the princess phase and the light-stick-as-toy phase comes the “it-has-to-be-cool” phase. That’s when this bag will come in handy. Don’t let the Urban Camo name fool you, though; this bag is all-girl in bright-pink camo. The mummy-style bag features a nylon shell and soft nylon lining and the synthetic insulation will keep your girl nice and warm. At 66 inches long, this bag comfortably accommodates an older child.
