Hi
If youre going to use go outdoors then youre fairly restricted for choice as they are mainly selling Higear/Gelert bags with only the odd Vango-Coleman-Outwell listed

I am no expert when it comes to sleeping bags as we have always used a quilt but I have just bought my daughter a vango nitestar sleeping bag and it feels very warm - I got in it and felt toasty. My daughter also thought it was really warm - we bought her the kids size one but I think its only going to last her maybe 1 season as shes very tall for her age.

Best sleeping bags we have found for comfort and warmth are any of the 4 season fishing sleeping bags..made especially for those mad fishermen who fish all year round in sub zero temps..the only problem is they can be quite pricey..altho if you check out this chappie on ebay he is selling some really cheap

Don't rule out Millets - their 3 season Eurohike Adventurer 300s have an excellent comfort temperature range (-2 to +25) and are often on a buy 1 get 1 free deal (were last time I looked about a week ago) making them about £25 each. We got 3 at the end of last year to replace our old Vango Wilderness 350s (including one for our 4 year old) and they certainly proved warmer than our Vango bags and full of the features of more expensive bags.

Dont Dont Dont buy child sleeping bags google Snugpak sleeping bags 

 Weve bought 4 Snugpak softie chrysalis winter sleeping bags and there fantastic and made in the uk . Weve been using snugpak sleeping bags for over 20years and there still going strong .but we needed new sleeping bags for our daughters 10 and 7 so for winter and early season we went for the chrysalis and we'll still use our old snugpaks in the summer . They allso have a neat feature so you can fold and clip the bag so as to make it a smaller warmer bag for kids

If your not intending to camp in the winter id go for the Autumn bag in the range

OK.....Would this work.

As the boys are only 7 could I have them on airbeds next to each other, have them in the sleeping bags they ahve then buy one and open it up and use as a guilt over the two of them????

I am thinking this as then I only need to buy one bag and can get another at a later date, making the expense easier

What are you going to put between the airbed and your boys?
