How To Choose A Kids Indoor Sleeping Bag
Summer is just around the corner. Now is the time to research summer camps for your children or a daycare for your child while you have to go to work. Most of the kids summer camps are at sites were the kids stay in a cabin or in a sheltered area. Kids love to pack up all their supplies, clothes and special items to take with them for a long stay at summer camp, away from mom and dad. What better item to take to summer camp than a customized indoor kid’s sleeping bag?
Kid’s indoor sleeping bags come in many sizes, shapes, colors and options. A Toddler indoor bag is for the youngest of our children, ranging from 1 yr to 2 yrs. Toddler Sleeping Bags measures 22″ x 36″ and usually includes a sewn in pillow. The sleeping bag itself folds into an 18″ x 20″ toss pillow. The next size up would be for a child, ages ranging from 2-10, depending on how tall they are. These indoor child Size Sleeping Bags usually measure around 29″ x 56″ and sometimes includes a sewn in pillow and a built in pouch with carry handle. The Childrens sleeping bags open into a 56″ x 56″ comforter. Next on the size chart are the largest of the kids sleeping bags and they come in Teen Size. These teen indoor sleeping bags measure 31″ x 75″ and include a sewn in pillow and a built in pouch with carry handle. The teen sleeping bag opens into a 62″ x 75″ comforter. All these kids’ sleeping bags are machine washable and can be dried on low heat.
Now that you have a size in mind, what about all the great options provided by the manufacturers to make your child’s sleeping bag unique. First there are over 100+ designs to choose from. Whether you are looking for a boy or girl, you will find the perfect fabric to match your childs personality.
Next, do you upgrade the interior fabric? As a parent of two kids, I noticed that one of my kids is always hot and the other is always cold. We went with one upgraded and the other not. You can choose between two types of interior fabric upgrades on our sleeping bags. First would be flannel, which is like sleeping in flannel sheets. The flannel comes in about 5 different coordinating colors and you can customize which color you would like. It is warmer than the broadcloth, which is standard, but not too warm for the warmer climates. The cozy, plush upgrade would be our Minky Dot Micro Fiber selections. The minky dot fabric is the king of them all. It is much heavier than the flannel and plush and soft like no other. I would suggest this fabric for kids that want to me warm and snug all night long.
Last, do you monogram your child’s new sleeping bags? Most children take pride in ownership of their items, especially if their name is on it. You probably do not have to worry about your child getting their bags mixed up with other children because you probably already picked out a one of a kind custom sleeping bag. I can say for special features, personalizing the child’s sleeping bag does add a touch of excitement when the child sees it for the first time. The monogram and personalization is done on the pouch, so the child can see it when they are lying down. Then when they roll the sleeping bag into the pouch the name shows up on the outside of the pouch. Choose from 4 different font and 10 different thread colors for your child’s name or monogram.
I hope that this information is valuable to you when or if you do look to purchase your child a kids indoor sleeping bag. These kids’ sleeping bags last for many years and your child will love them. Our kids sleep in theirs every Saturday night on the family room floor. We take their sleeping bags to grandmas and they use them for sleepovers. Their friends also love the sleeping bags from what my children say. I believe that custom children sleeping bag is a must needed essential for kids growing up and spending time away from home. Your child’s sleeping bag will become a favorite possession of theirs for many years to come.
