Great sleeping bag for the little ones - Big Agnes Little Red 15 Sleeping Bag Synthetic

My son, 5, loves his Little Red. Mainly because its red and looks just like his older brother's Wolverine bag, but it keeps him warm and cozy when paired with a good insulated pad. We use the Big Agnes Air Core Ultra Insulated pad in petite size (20x66"). The pad is longer than the bag's sleeve, but it sticks out the top and and gives him a place to sit when he scoots into the bag for the night. Don't neglect to buy an insulated air pad for this bag as the back/bottom has NO insulation at all, just a soft nylon sleeve for the bag. On our first trip we only had self-inflating pads and they didn't work so well with this system. The great part of this system is that the bag only takes about half as much space compressed as a regular kids bag with synthetic fill. Its not the greatest for sleepovers though because there needs to be a good pad or mattress underneath, so there's the extra step of the kid needing to inflate their own pad if no grownups are around. My five year old probably can't inflate his pad by himself.
