My daughter was two last year and we used a square adult sized sleeping bag for her. she was fine and didn't wiggle down at all.

Thanks for that, will try the 2 year old in the 4 year olds sleeping bag and if no good take his normal baby sleeping bag (no arms) and put a furry all in one sleepsuit on.

Some of Snugpak Softie chrysalis sleeping bags have clips to securely fold the bottom part of the sleeping bag under . Weve bought four as our girls have out grown there kiddy bags and our 19year old snugpak bags are still usable but weve had our moneys worth !

Just A thought.
What about folding an adult bag in half, there's nowhere to wriggle to & it would provide another layer on top or under depending on which way you fold it.

My wife used to do what Gumball suggests, she used to fold the lower half under when our two girls were very young.

We originally bought a junior sleeping bag for my 4 year old son and a vango sleeping bag designed for babies for my 2 year old. After one trip we realised that the baby sleeping bag was way too small for him and ended up putting my 4 year old in an adult bag and my 2 year old into the junior sleeping bag (which is an outwell cloud if my memory serves me correctly). The junior bag is not deep enough for me to worry about him wriggling too far down. In fact, the issue tends to be more about him wriggling upwards and half out of it, so we put him in thicker tops when it is cold just incase!

Has the idea this is what we did for our very wriggly son more out than inside.
A full adult turned right down and it gave him not only an extra mattress but another cover on top. what with his monkey stuffed toy he was fine .
For a boy that was a always at the bottom of the cot/bed he did alright and I knew he was welll tucked in no matter how cold it was going to turn.

Our son used an adult sleeping bag from 2 years old, just folded the bottom over. The one big recommendation I have though is to find one with a water repellent liner or take a spare, as those little accidents can happen (even if the child is otherwise dry) due to the different environment and not being able to get to the loo. My old hiking sleeping bag proved ideal as it had a water repellent liner that we could wipe clean if our son had an accident, rather than having to wash and dry out the whole bag....

Love our set-up and need no more tents or gear, so trying to stop looking!
