Children's 4 Season Sleeping Bags

[Dan00001]

My son wants to continue camping with me over winter. I won't be taking him anywhere crazy like the Brecon beacons, just local hills or maybe even some 'wild' camp sites.

His current sleeping bag from Go Outdoors has reached it's limit and I'm struggling to find a really decent kids 4 season sleeping bag. The other option I have considered is buying a down quilt and combining it with his current sleeping bag i.e he sleeps inside his sleeping bag with the quilt over the top/ wrapped around his sleeping bag.

Has anybody any experience with winter camping with young children, can recommend a good 4 season children's sleeping bag or offer any input on my idea of layering up a sleeping bag AND a down quilt?

Thank you.

No experience with this but dont some folk use an adult bag and tie it around with a strap or belt?

I did consider buying an adults bag, cutting and sewing it smaller.

I have purchased a Thermarest Corus 32 from Ultralight Outdoor Gear which are on sale for £115. I think in theory this should take his 3 season up to a 4 season. I can also continue to use it through the summer, it's half the weight of my summer sleeping bag.

Big Agnes make a few, 20° which I presume is in Fahrenheit.

Kids’ Sleeping Bags

All of our Kids sleeping bags are insulated and have an integrated pad sleeve, so they won't roll off their pad overnight (you’re welcome).

Big Agnes are the only ones I could find that looked pretty decent.

I think I will likely upgrade his current sleeping bag to a big Agnes at some point.

I had the same issue some years ago, there just didn’t seem to be anything available for children's 4 season use.
In the end I got some fibrepile and made a mummy shaped liner for his Vango bag. Worked well, a few nights at circa -10° / -12° and no complaints of the cold.
