Purchasing a sleeping bag for kids camping is a great way to help children get enthused about camping. Sleeping bags made for kids will keep young campers warmer than adult-sized bags. The variety of styles and colors make selecting a sleeping bag fun for kids.
It is important to identify the uses of the sleeping bag in order to purchase the correct bag for your adventure. Lighter weight bags are useful in warmer climates, during summer camp outs or for sleepovers with friends. Heavier weight bags will allow for camping in more varied temperatures and will keep children warmer.

It is a good idea to check the size of the sleeping bag and purchase one that is a size or two larger than the child needs so there is room to grow. This will help to keep from purchasing one each year. It is also a good idea to select one that is machine washable, hand washable or dry-clean only, depending on your preference.
Styles in sleeping bags for kids vary greatly. Some bags can be fully opened and used as a comforter on a bed. Other bags come in a traditional rectangular shape. Both of these bags are offered in solid colors, fun prints or favorite cartoon characters. Still other bags are shaped like adult mummy bags and are geared more towards the grown-up kids with solid colors that mimic the adult versions. Here are three mummy shaped sleeping bags for kids from three different manufacturers.
