This mummy-style sleeping bag has a patented expandable footbox feature that grows in length as your child grows. The trapezoid footbox also provides space in which the feet remain in a natural position for better comfort. And this Slumberjack sleeping bag includes a Weather Wedge--a small piece of triangular fabric that is sewn at the base of the zipper to prevent heat loss at the zipper opening. This also reduces stress at the point where the zipper is sewn.

Sleep Well: Finding the Right Sleeping Bag
Sleeping bag technology has come a long way from the days of cowboy bedrolls. These days, there are a number of high-tech materials and designs available to keep you warm during the coldest outings. Here's a short list of things to keep in mind when you're shopping for a bag:

Buy for Cold
It's a safe bet that on at least one of your adventures, the nighttime temperature will drop unexpectedly. That's why it's smart to buy a bag that's rated for the lowest possible temperature you expect to face on your camping and backpacking trips. For summer trips, a bag rated at +35 degrees or higher will likely do the trick. If you like to camp in higher elevations in the summer, or if spring and fall outings are in your future, consider bags rated from +10 to +35. Winter adventurers should look for bags in the -10 to +10 range, while those on serious winter alpine climbs and expeditions will want a bag rated lower than -10.

Keep in mind that sleeping bag manufacturers' temperature ratings only estimate the minimum temperature at which the bag will provide warmth. Take these numbers with a grain of salt, as different folks generate different amounts of heat when they sleep. If you're the type who likes to pile on the covers even on warmer nights, go for a bag that's rated ten degrees colder. The opposite is true for "warm" sleepers--a 35-degree bag will probably work for you on a 25-degree night.

Goose or No Goose?
The most important component of any sleeping bag is its insulating material. Modern sleeping bags offer two choices: goose down or synthetic. While both materials have advantages and disadvantages, down bags are considered superior because of their phenomenal warmth-to-weight and warmth-to-bulk ratios. While providing great insulation, down is extremely compressible and light. There's a reason why geese can fly and stay warm through the winter! Down also boasts great long-term durability and will typically retain its insulating properties after years of use.

All of that said, there are many high-quality synthetic bags on the market and synthetic materials are getting better all the time. While a synthetic bag will weigh somewhat more than a down bag at an equivalent temperature rating, synthetic bags perform better when wet. (Yes, the Achilles heel of down is that it loses all insulating properties when wet.) If your trips take you to wet climates, you may want to consider a synthetic bag for this reason alone. Keep in mind, too, that many people are allergic to down--synthetic bags are non-allergenic. Finally, down is considerably more expensive than synthetic, which might tip the balance for adventurers on a budget.

Bags for All Shapes
Sleeping bags come in two basic shapes that reflect their intended use. Mummy-shaped bags offer the best warmth because they conform to the body's contours. This minimizes the amount of body heat the body must put out to maintain a constant temperature. Many mummy bags are offered in women-specific shapes and sizes, as well. Rectangular bags, while they do offer more room to toss and turn, are less thermally efficient because they contain more open air space. Also, they are typically heavier than mummy bags, and are generally not offered with down insulation, making them best suited for car camping or short backpacking trips.

Pad Yourself
No matter what kind of bag you choose, a sleeping pad is a required accessory. Not only do they provide much-needed comfort when sleeping on the ground, pads also offer crucial warmth for your backside, as the weight of your body compresses--and renders virtually useless--the sleeping bag insulation that lies beneath you.

3 out of 5 stars zipper get caught on material a lot, but ok bag   September 20, 2009
Isabella E. Bertelli (Staten Island, NY)
This bag made my two year old happy and has plenty of room for him to grow. Washes well. The only downside is that the zipper gets caught in the yellow material at the botttom a lot. I guess if the child was old enough not to open the bag all the way (the zipper comes down with just a pull on material, if if you don't want it to) and no matter how careful I am, it still gets caught on material 75% of the time. This is why I only gave it 3 stars. Otherwise it would have been a 5. This is a medium weight bag, so as long as it not winter months or really high altitude, they can use it outdoors. We have only used it in the backyard or livingroom floor so far.


4 out of 5 stars Will Do the Job   June 30, 2009

Not the best value on the market. But a solid little sleeping bag that appears will stand the test of time. Ours has already been on a campout and through the wash without any trouble. The expandable foot is cool but probably does not justify the price difference between this bag and its competitors. In any case, a great bag for children that actually go camping.

We got this little bag for our 2 year old. He LOVES it!! Although we have not used it for camping yet, it will be ideal when we do. Slumberjack has been around for a long time, and this little bag is a good example of durability and quality. It is one of the smallest bags for toddlers that I have found---that is not a "novelty" sleeping bag. It is intended for actual outdoor camping--not only for the family room floor! It is a small version of an adult bag, and is also expandable. Our son will be able to use it for years!!

I was nervous about purchasing this bag because I couldn't really find many reviews on it, and the description didn't seem to give enough details. However, I was very pleased with the bag when it came. I purchased two bags for my 4 yr. and 6 yr. old boys, and I think they are perfect for them. The sleeping bag is soft and fluffy, and seems to be a good quality.

The sleeping bag has a section at the bottom that easily zippers up to make it about a foot shorter. (I have seen gym bags that do the same thing) When it is at its short length, my 6 yr old has about 4 inches left in the bottom, so I think it will still fit him until he passes 5 ft. tall -- possibly more. The bag cinches around the head with a draw-string/clasp. It seems like it will be plenty warm for summer camping.

Overall, I think it is a great value if you can get it for around $30.

At first I was hesitant about purchasing this sleeping bag, but after I received it and my grandson slipped into it I was very happy with the added feature. The bag was not a perfect fit but it should last him for a while. I recommend this bag highly for anyone who has kids. It's a great buy.
