a good children's sleeping bag?

Can anybody recommend a good children's sleeping bag for our first camping trip !

If it is for a little one then make sure that there isn't a drawstring or cut it out if there is. I once found my then 3yo with the drawstrings wrapped tightly round her neck and she'd slipped off the air mattress too. She was fine, had been wearing her "necklace" but it gave me a real fright as I'd thought she was past that stage so had left the drawstrings in.

We got these ones after that incident and have had them for a few years and been pleased with them. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Gelert-Junior-Sleeping-Pod-Distressed/dp/B00C20ITMM/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1457543007&sr=8-1&keywords=junior+sleeping+pod

we got one from camping world online and its been good.

but if its your first trip then consider taking a duvet - less outlay and super warm!

We also had the slipping off the mattress problem with a very wriggly 4 year old - we were on a double, he was on a single next to us, and I woke several times in the night to find him lying on the cold floor in the gap in between the two. After that trip I bought a cheap giant fleece blanket from Amazon to put on top of both mattresses and tuck under to hold them together. It makes the surface much less slippery, adds some warmth underneath you, and means he stays on the bed and we all stay warm and asleep. Some spare blankets to go under the air beds are also worth bringing - sounds weird but you actually lose more heat to the ground than the air.

(We tried just using a quilt for our first camping trip with a very wriggly three year old but were in a camping shop buying a sleeping bag on day two as he just didn't stay under the quilt and was freezing cold!)

I can recommend heading to Decathlon in Surrey Quays - we got pretty much all the basics we needed there for our first camping trip last summer, it's not too pricey. Our kids were very happy in their sleeping bags from there.
