I am looking at getting my almost 2 year old a proper sleeping bag this year. Last year we only went away once in August, and she slept in a travel cot with a vest, thick socks, sleepsuit and then a fleece sleepsuit on top of that and went in her 2.5 tog baby sleeping bag (the type you use in a cot) She's almost ready to move into her big bed at home, so am going to get her and her big sister a SIM each this year.

So i need to get her a half decent one, which isn't going to break the bank as i'm sure it wont last long with little leaks etc! over the next couple of seasons. I would like a square-ish one, but with the mummy shaped pillow area (because she doesn't sleep on a pillow at home and i would worry about her getting lost inside a normal square shape one) and also one with a sort of cotton or fleece type lining because the only cheap ones i've seen look rather hot and sweaty! My eldest has a mid range Tesco one, which they don't make anymore :)

What do other campers with young children use?

Thank you, i wasn't too sure about getting a vango baby bag as i wasn't sure how long it'd be before she outgrows it?

Is choice the next outlet?? I think theres one at Clacton Factory Outlet, thats not too far away from us, and £10 is a very good price for one of those!! x

We decided on a Vango - Nitestar Junior sleeping bag for our two and a half year old last season. Turned out to be a great purchase. Only problem is trying to wake her up in the morning (snug as a bug)...

For our 4 yo We have the gelert kids one where bottom end zips up to make it shorter.  Its a 3 season mummy bag and was around £25ish i think - only thing is the little so and so wont sleep in it so we end up folding it out flat to use over him alongside a duvet!
