From the excellent recommendations here I've decided to get myself a Vango Astral 350 (3 season) sleeping bag.  Was intending to get my 5 year old the Vango Astral Midi but I believe that's only a 2-season bag (kinda feel guilty getting myself a warmer bag).  Can anyone recommend a good 3 season junior bag, preferably envelope style.

I have checked out the Coleman Hudson Junior but I believe that's a 2 season also  

Much appreciated!

Our two were warm enough in Vango Wilderness 250 bags on Tuesday night of this week which went quite cold. We have the Nitestar 350 bags for us but figured that it was easier to add a blanket for the kids than to start trying to get them part-unzipping etc if too warm! Our kids are 3 and 6 - we got them full size bags and they were fine in those. Kids seemed happy in the mummy-style bags although I wasn't too keen on first try!

Thanks kippygirl.  I did read somewhere that kids don't feel the cold as much as adults so maybe a 2 season with blankets (if required) is the way to go.  As you suggested a full size bag is an option but I would probably stuff a pillow in the bottom to reduce the air space and stop them sliding down.

Many thanks!

tesco - kids mummy sleeping bag

Currently out of stock on-line, but available in Tesco Extra stores.

£8, 3 seasons. My 8yr old son used one last weekend at a Scouts Centenary camp. He said he was warm at night, considering it was very cold and with hail showers!

As my OH keeps reminding me, an extra layer underneath is worth 2 on top!

Our 2 girls (4 & 6) never seem to feel the cold. We were camping last weekend , they had 2 layers of blanket btw airbed & sleeping bag and said they were too hot! ( junior mummy bags from Dunelm last year), about £8 each if I remember.
