hiya,
we have the vango one for DS , he was nearly 2 when he started using it and with the bottom zipped off he could still disappear into it!
he did take time to get used to sleeping in it but now loves it and understands it keeps him warm and snuggly.
happy camping.

Personally I think the zip off bit is a gimmick really, I just don't see the point of it.
We got a Vango Nitestar Midi - whch is the same length as the extended Wilderness for DD2 when she was 3 (though a quite a short 3). We've never had a problem with her disappearing into it, rather the opposite infact as she is more likley to wriggle out of it. But they aren't going to suffocate themselves.
Though the whole kiddy bag thing is a bit uneccesary really. They can sleep quite happily in an adult bag. Ypou can always tie something round the bag to shorten it to make it warmer.

We have the vango one for our 4 year old. I would definately recomend it. We've used it for the last 2 years and it's still at the shortest position so we will definatey have had our moneys worth.
I'm a natterer that he'll get cold while camping and I've got to say before I go to bed I check on him and he's always toasty and sometimes sweating!!
It is a good buy and will last for quite a while.

We have vango mummy style bags in the junior size for our kids - with mixed results.
One of my daughters hates her sleeping bag - so be prepared!
The other daughter loves hers, but almost without fail, tends to wriggle out after a couple of hours.
I think mine just don't like feeling restricted in the mummy style bags - I may try & replace them with envelope style bags this year (or maybe just duvets? - but somehow that seems wrong to me...)

My son who was 3 last month has a vango mummy style sleeping bag and he was fine in it last year - not got lost at the bottom and sleeps really well in it. He also has an infant mummy fleece liner for it when its colder. I was really worried about it as on our first trip of the year last year he was still in a cot at home & I thought he might make the use of his new found freedom but he was great - the Kampa junior airbed helped to keep him in aswell.

Well our youngest (5) ends up outside and on top of the duvet at home most night anyway - as did the eldest (now 9) when she was younger. Them seem to grow out of it abit as they get older.
We use a fleecy suit foir them when it's cold anyway

Hi gelert junior sleeping pod has arrived and looks great although very big for a 10 month old -
When they we little (up to about 3 I guess) we used the Grobag type sleeping bags, like at home, which they can't wriggle out of/down. With a fleeciy suit on and maybe a blanket over them, they were always warm enough.

Totally agree - we used grobags for the first couple of years - nice 'n' snuggly!
