can anyone please tell me the best bags to get for the kids {10,6,4} and two adults .cause our,s are no good our we are cold buggers

cheers away this weekend

You can`t go far wrong with Vango bags, and they`re not significantly more expensive than the Argos offerings.

Nitestars are almost all mummy style, and the Astrals have square ends. Both have hoods...recommended. If you don`t want a hood there is the Vango Orion. There are other Vango bags as well, both for family camping and hi-tec ones.

All of the three named above come in Midi, adult and XL sizes. (Actually, not sure about the Orion in Midi...) They come in a range of weights...250s are good for two seasons or if you`re chilly souls then go higher to a 300 or 350, especially if you camp towards either end of the autumn or spring.

My three year old is in a Midi, but I`ve tall children and her brother was too tall for it aged 5. I think you should get adult bags for the older ones. You can always shove a fleece blanket down to the bottom, or tie a strap round the tail of the bag.

haha..copycat..!!!!

If I get a night when I cant sleep I get my sleeping bag out  and put it on the living room floor on an airbed and I sleep like a log..

Im really proud of myself!!!

  Just made 2 liners for the kids bags out of an old space duvet cover! ,works a treat even stitched hoops and buttons into the corners of liners and bags to keep them in place !!

 Just saved atleast £15 !!

If you're cold, take an extra sleeping bag or blanket and put this under your normal sleeping bags - you'll be much, much warmer!
