Can anyone advise me what the best type of sleeping bag/bedding arrangements are for younger children (ages 18mths, 3 and 5)? We have just been away this weekend in our tent, the elder 2 slept in our old single adult-sized sleeping bags (not sure what their spec is but we were fine in them when we camped in chilly Canada in days gone by) on top of camping mats, and both complained of being cold. It was cold at night (I guess about 5C), and we were only just warm enough in our 2 season double sleeping bag, but even with a cardigan over PJ's the kids weren't. I haven't bothered buying kid-sized sleeping bags so far, thinking they'd be a waste of money as the adult-sized singles are perfectly good, but maybe I'm wrong? Suffice to say, by 4am each night I was squashed in a single sleeping bag with my 5 year old and cuddling up to the 3 year old - no fun! The baby rejected his travel cot outright, preferring to come in with us - he wasn't cold due to the number and variety of layers he was wearing, but maybe he wanted his cuddles too! I'm ready for a good night's sleep after all that!
Thanks,
Suzanne

Hi Suzanne.......
Firstly may I suggest insulation....
Put something under the airbeds and something on top of them.
On the floor you can use camping mats, picnic blankets, survival blankets, newspaper, cardboard etc
On top either opened up sleeping bags, a fleece, a blanket etc
There are some nice childrens sleeping bags around such as these or here .
If you are worried about the little ones falling out of bed then fill their bedroom with airbeds so the floor is cushioned.
Hopefully next time you will get a good nights sleep
Hope this helps
Angie.
