51B2pLdkCxL._SL210_Now she sleeps in her own room!5
My daughter loves this set — and we love that she now sleeps in her own room. She was so excited about the tent and sleeping bag that she even suggested that she could sleep in it in her room. THANK YOU DISNEY PRINCESSES! It’s good quality, and we use the tent as a playhouse in our living room on rainy days. It’s cheaper than buying one of those big playhouses, and more fun because it’s only out some of the time. So look for your children s sleeping sleeping bags.

Coleman Kids Explorer Sleeping Bag

Introduce your kids to the great outdoors and ensure their warmth and comfort with the Coleman Explorer mummy-style sleeping bag, which is rated to 25 degrees for three-season outdoor camping. Measuring 30 by 66 inches, this bag fits kids up to 5 feet, 2 inches tall. This gray bag also includes a unique bright yellow interior that glows in the dark with star constellations.

Coleman’s ZipPlow feature prevents zipper snags by plowing fabric away from zipper.

Two layers of insulation with offset quilt lines eliminate potential cold spots. This bag is filled with 28 ounces of Coletherm insulation, exclusive to Coleman, which is a hollow-core fiber, allowing for greater loft (a measure of the amount of space the insulation occupies and the amount of air the insulation can trap). The hollow-core fibers create pockets of air that serve as an extra barrier between the sleeper and the environment, maximizing thermal efficiency.

The sculpted hood surrounds the head to retain warmth, and a 3-inch insulated draft tube runs the length of the zipper to keep out chilly drafts. A trapezoid-contoured foot box gives feet more wiggle room. Other features include a durable polyester cover and liner, included stuff sack, and a two-way ZipPlow zipper that plows fabric away from zipper to prevent snags (and glows in the dark). This sleeping bag is machine washable.This will be a great kids sleeping bag for camping.

31LIZ6TpeXL._SL125_I believe this would depend on the size of your washer and the size of your sleeping bag! Have you checked the sleeping bag over for tags that might give washing instructions? If you have a large capacity washer, you should be OK. Try putting the sleeping bag inside the washer without any water in it to see how well it fits. If it looks like it does, then you should be able to wash the sleeping bag like you would a comforter, on regular cycle. When drying the sleeping bag, use dryer balls or buy some new tennis balls to put in the dryer with the sleeping bag; this will help to move the sleeping bag around in the dryer so that every part will get dry. This is how to take care of a goose down sleeping bag.

About Coleman

200326929-001About Coleman
The Coleman Company has been creating and innovating products for recreational outdoor use since W.C. Coleman started selling gasoline-powered lanterns in 1900. Inventor of the hugely popular fold-up camp stove, Coleman developed a plastic liner for his galvanized steel coolers in 1957–the birth of the modern cooler–and the company has been improving their utility and design ever since. The array of products that bear the Coleman name now includes just about everything you might need to work or play outdoors, from tents and sleeping bags to boats, backpacks, and furniture. So when going camping look for coleman sleeping bags.

Eureka Sleeping Bags

October 22, 2009

About Eureka
Though the exact year is unknown, Eureka’s long history begins prior to 1895 in Binghamton, New York, where the company still resides today. Then known as the Eureka Tent & Awning Company, its first wares were canvas products–most notably, Conestoga wagon covers and horse blankets for nineteenth century American frontiersmen–as well as American flags, store awnings, and camping tents.

The company increased production of its custom canvas products locally throughout the 1930s and during the 1940 and even fabricated and erected the IBM “tent cities” just outside Binghamton. The seven acres of tents housed thousands of IBM salesmen during the company’s annual stockholders meeting, which had since outgrown its previous locale. In the 1940s, with the advent of World War II and the increased demand for hospital ward tents, Eureka expanded operations and began shipping tents worldwide. Ultimately, upon the post-war return of the GIs and the resultant housing shortage, Eureka turned its attention to the home front during the 1950s by supplying awnings for the multitude of mobile homes that were purchased.

In 1960, Eureka’s new and innovative Draw-Tite tent, with its practical, free standing external frame, was used in a Himalayan Expedition to Nepal by world renowned Sir Edmund Hillary, the first person documented to summit Mt. Everest only six years earlier. In 1963, Eureka made history during its own Mt. Everest ascent, with more than 60 of its tents sheltering participants from fierce 60+ mph winds and temperatures reaching below -20°F during the first all American Mt. Everest Expedition.

For backpackers and families, Eureka introduced its legendary Timberline tent in the 1970s. Truly the first StormShield design, this completely self-supporting and lightweight backpacking tent became one of the most popular tents the entire industry with sales reaching over 1 million by its ten year anniversary.

Eureka tents have also traveled as part of several historic expeditions, including the American Women’s Himalayan Expedition to Annapurna I in 1978 and the first Mt. Everest ascents by a Canadian and American woman in 1986 and 1988. In recent history, tents specially designed and donated by Eureka sheltered Eric Simonson and his team on two historic research expeditions to Mount Everest, this time in a quest for truth regarding the 1924 attempted summit of early English explorers George Mallory and Andrew Irvine. During the 1999 expedition, the team made history finding the remains of George Mallory, but the complete mystery remained unsolved. Returning in 2001 to search for more clues, the team found amazing historical artifacts which are now on display at the Smithsonian.So look for the sleeping bag you need.   Eureka

“Real” Kid’s Bag! Field-tested Colorado Rockies
Our family just returned from a weekend camping trip near Steamboat Springs, CO. My girls, 3 and 5, were excited to use their real Children s sleeping bags (an upgrade from Winnie the Pooh or Dora bags really made for indoor sleepovers). Inside the bag, there is a little pocket with Velcro41TM8MQ5M9L._SL210_ to hold a small stuffed animal. Stowing a travel pack of tissues would’ve been ideal as we all got a souvenir cold.

The real test came the first night out . The sky was clear with millions of stars and a near full moon so we left the fly off the tent. I never realized how insulating a tent rain fly is…we awoke to 37 degrees! The girls were toasty warm, happy and cute as bugs in their grasshopper bags.

The length of the bag is great as they will be able to use them until we’re ready to upgrade to adult down bags.

41hGLM8eBaL._SL125_One of the most Important in buying a kids sleeping bags is length and size. If the child is small try buying a little bit biger sleeping bag where it can be used years to come.

It is advisable to look for a kid sleeping bag that has deep sleeve holes. This allows the air to move unhindered and circulate around the child which prevents overheating.

There are a lot of designs for kids You can get them in various colors and characters on them Childern are not ready to go camping yet so buy them where they can play camping indoors to have fun.
