Hi,

Does anyone have any views on whether it is best for younger children to have branded (Gelert) mummy sleeping-bags, or to stick with the standard ones I bought last year?  I wondered if the more cosy head bit was better for keeping the warmth in, or if there really isn't much in it during the summer?

Thanks!

Since the munmmy bags have lots of draw cords around the neck area to tighten up the opening I would either remove them and lose all the advantages or stick with what you have. A woollie hat can do wonders and give the same effect as the hood on the sleeping bags anyway.

The junior bags don't have cord they have to be elasticated for safety.

my grandson loves his vango midi but unfotuatly he may well have out grown it this year Hes a very tall 7 and half  but it was well worth the money as hes never woken up whilst camping

My 4 year old loves his Vango nightstar convertible, and the advantage is...when he grows we can zip the extension on, and it's goo till he's a teenager!

Depends how young is young!

We bought ours kids vango mummy adult bags last year when they were 5 & 7.  I initially bought some cheapie child sized ones from Argos which were perfectly good, but I took them back because the 7 yr old would have out grown it within a year and it wasn't worth replacing them again so soon.

If yours are a lot younger I guess it depends to a degree how sensible they are.  Mine have always been quite good about things like that, whereas my friends son would be guaranteed to have done himself some mischief by morning!
