Help!

Can anyone recommend good rectangular bags please? .....looking to do weekend camping in the UK over the summer. I have a 5 and a 3 yr old ...any 'bag' advice for these two would be appreciated too.

I think I can't stand the 'snugness' of a mummy bag. The feeling of being strangled by your own clothes wrapped around up as many times as you twist and turn through the night might just drive me insane.

Look forward to hearing from you.

I always recommend Millets for sleeping bags. They do a good range, are usually very helpful and fairly cheap.

I don't know about the kids but for an adult (and after trying several including a mummy bag ) I went for one they call a 'Kingsize single' 2 season. Very large and square and warm. Plenty of room to squirm about.

I'm sure they must do child sized ones. 

Ill go with Bob on this we also bought from Millets kingsize singles, good sleeping bags

When we started camping (we now have a caravan) we soon realised that our sleeping bags were not cut out for outdoor sleeping - the temp varied thoughout the night from being too hot to shivering cold.  They also felt damp underneath from condensation (this was prob why we felt chilly at times).

Anyway did a bit of research and decided to invest in much more expensive ones and I have to say, I think you do get what you pay for.  Ours are extremely lightweight but keep a constant temp - they are a delight to snuggle into.  We now use them in our caravan.

Not cheap at 2 for £210 - (I hear you gasp!) - but they will last us forever, and were well worth investing in.
