Columbia Trekster Junior Mummy Sleeping Bag

I was having a very difficult time choosing a sleeping bag (well, finding one for that matter) for my 3 and 7 year old that was an actual quality bag for kids. I looked at the eureka grasshopper and the north face tigger but I kept coming back to this one because of reviews/price. We have not taken them out in the cold yet so I cannot reply on there level of protection but I will say that the build quality is very good for the price. The kids have been playing in them for a couple weeks now in the house and have had no zipper issues like other reviews have mentioned and they seem to be holding up fine. I will update after a couple weekends in the woodsies.

We got this bag for my daughter (age 7) to go to Girl Scout camp with,
thinking ahead for future fall trips when the weather will be cooler.
She loves the bag. It's a great size for her and will last through middle school/high school. Wonderful quality. Cool color.
The zippers work smoothly but are hard to start for a child (or adult).
Other than that we would easily buy another one for our son.

I searched for a long time trying to find a real kids sleeping bag that was rated in the single digets. This is the only one out there! This kid sleeping bag is a real sleeping. It will keep your kids warm and they are very well built.

Why was I looking for a sleeping bag that was rated in the single digets. Because sleeping bags are highly over temperature rated. A bag that is rated for say 0 degrees Fahrenheit to 10 degrees Fahrenheit is just right for 32 degrees Fahrenheit to 50 degrees Fahrenheit.

The only con is the open is not round. so your kids face will be some what cover up.

I gave these to two of my grandsons and they love them. They are well made, and have all the little bells and whistles. And the bags keep them very warm.

Two comments:

1-The bag is described as being suitable for kids up to 4'3" tall. I believe it is more realistic to say it is suitable up to 4' maximum.

2-The zipper is not kid friendly. It can be difficult.
