Hi there, my daughter is just over 2yrs old and has previously slept in a travel cot and her regular "grobag" style baby sleeping bag (which she sleeps in at home). She has now outgrown the cot so we need a new sleep solution - advice please...?
I guess we'll go for a kids sleeping bag and SIM - any particular brands you can recommend? We camp early and late season so need a decent set up. We have a couple of Fat Airic SIMS and Outwell Lux bags and they are snuggly but the kids Outwells seem a bit "style over substance"...? Thanks for any suggestions!

Jack wolfskin grow up wolf bag. Outwell have done a very similar one for 2014.
Our daughter will go up into a camper lux eventually, but she was warm enough in the jack wolfskin at New Year.

How tall is she? If she's small enough the Vango Nitestar mini is a good bag for a low price.

My 4year old twins have vango nitestar minis which they have used for the past two years. They are always very snuggly in them. They share a vango 7.5cm double sim.

I have never had the childrens sleeping bags for my Girls .
My youngest was 3 when we first camped with her and she was in an adult bag , just folded in half length wise, worked great as it gave some more insulation underneath.
Great thing is I haven't updated sleeping bags for 4 years and they still have lots of life left in them (more savings means more money for other must haves)
As for the bed this has changed from SIM which leaked (I think after jumping up and down on it) to an air bed or two ( changed due to leaks and that nasty plastic smell) back to SIM.
We used the luggage bags at the sides to keep her in the bed to start off with.

If your bags are big enough they make great cots as well.. Hard sided and if they get really naughty a lid as well.
Nb please don't Dob me in with child welfare as the draw I put my eldest in was much worse...

Thanks guys! My daughter is tall, almost 97cm at age 2yrs4m... the length of the Vango Nitestar Mini is stated as 100cm so perhaps too small. I myself prefer a wide bag, not a "mummy" style which tend to get wrapped around you, and think she would too...so the junior probably out aswell. Any other suggestions? And a SIM?
