Sleeping bags are the perfect addition to any camping set-up, and this is especially correct for children as they can provide extra warmth on those chilly nights around the campfire in the outback, or even just out the back. Spending a night lounging around in a sleeping bag is every kids dream, and usually a first taster of what it is like to go camping. Some kids practice by getting cosy in a comfy sleeping bag while laying around on the loungeroom floor on a Friday night after a hard week at school or kindy, others might even take it a step further and set up a small tent in the lounge room and pretend they are having a proper camp out. But without a doubt, once they decided to push the camping past the realm of the sliding door to head out the back, then it is definitely prime time to ensure they have enough comfort and warmth to get them through the night without catching a chill or waking everyone up in the middle of the night so that they can go back to their own bed in the warmth of home. Most kids sleeping bags are made cheap to draw the eyes of parents and allow young ones to have something of their own to get used to using. However, this means that plenty of kids, even yourselves when younger, probably had sleeping bags that were perfect for exactly that, practicing how to camp, but on the loungeroom floor with siblings beside the nice toasty heater. The problem with this is that once they are ready to take it to the next level, the warmth provide by thin cotton of polyester sleeping bags with little to no insides, will definitely fail at keeping them warm, or even close to the right temperature on a winter’s night.

With evolving design and technology in the camping space, there are plenty of options for kids sleeping bags available on the market, and not all of them cost an arm and a leg to purchase. With this in mind it is a great opportunity for families to still purchase their kids their very own mini sleeping bag, but in doing so, selecting one that is going to be perfect for inside and outside use, basically 2 for the price of 1 if you ask me! The first thing you want to look for in a Childs sleeping bag is the quality of the materials and whether or not it has weather bearing insulation to hold in warmth and keep out the cold. You will want to find a sleep sack that has sub zero capabilities, will leave you certain that warmth will not be an issue, unless you’re hitting the wilderness during the extreme cold nights. A lot of junior sleeping bags are now even capable of withstanding temperatures of as little as 0°C and -5°C depending on the pricing and how much you are willing to pay. But generally anything that has the sub-zero capability is going to be worth it for future adventuring.
