Kids down bags?

[Gettincloser]

I have not found any information on here (less than 4 years old) about kids sleeping bags. I have a 2 and 5 year old that love to do everything I do. When my oldest was 2, I tucked her under my quilt with me in a bivy and she did great. (I managed some sleep but always waking to make sure she didn't wiggle down and always had a nose out for fresh air.) I figure I will be doing that again unless yall have a better idea. This one is an inch worm and continually works her way out the top of her simple rectangle bag.

My real question is for the 5 year old. She also has a simple mummy page that is rated for "50 degrees" but she get cold if it is bellow 60. Who make a "kid sized" down bag? Preferably with a 20 degree rating?

I'd start there. Torchlight is cool because its length is expandable so it has a longer usable life while your kiddo grows. FF just as nice as their adult bags, a buy once cry once deal.

Lots more options for synthetic

I had my daughter in a kelty callisto 30 which is synthetic. She constantly worked her way out of that as well, but it seems to be a great bag at the price.

The past couple times we've gone out I unzip a cabelas trapper mountain sleeping bag and we use it as a huge quilt across 2 sleeping pads.

I’ve used the rei bag for my kids over the years, but now I take one of my other bags (SG 0 degree) and put the extra material at the foot box in a stuff sack or another bag I can cinch off with, leaving just enough space for their feet. That closes off any extra space so their bodies don’t have to try and warm it. I’m also not needing to buy a new bag every couple of years as they grow.

Great info in here guys. I appreciate it. I agree with the buy once, cry once logic... I just did not want to cry that had!

I do like the idea of "balling up" the extra material. Makes me think I can toss them in my quilt with a sewn footboard and simply roll the top down and use the pad straps on the lower setting. That way they are able to "grow" into it and just roll the top up with time. I would just be dealing with 3 full sized quilts in my bag!

I might need a Larger bag!
