“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 Velcro
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.
