Novelty sleeping bags are a great way to add a little fun to bedtime whether it is in a tent on a campout or in the living room during a sleep over. With so many great designs to choose from, there is sure to be something for every child or child at heart.
Uses for Novelty Sleeping Bags
Novelty bags are great for kids or even adults who enjoy adding some whimsy to their lives. Typically, these bags have fun prints or are shaped into unusual designs. They can feature cartoon characters or a favorite activity. One thing that they all have in common is fun.
If you are planning a rustic family camping trip you might prefer children's down filled sleeping bags to keep your children toasty warm at night. For a summer backyard campout or a living room slumber party however, they'll love a novelty bag that is just their size and easy to tote anywhere.
What to Look For
There are a few things to consider when shopping for a novelty sleeping bag.
- Size-novelty bags can be found for infants through teens so know what size you have before you make your purchase. Choosing the right size will make it easier for the child to carry as well as being more comfortable to sleep in.
- Extra features-some bags have a built in pillow so a child doesn't have too much to carry. Others have an attached inflatable mattress to ensure comfort no matter where it is set up. Still others come with a drawstring bag or carry-case to make toting less of a task for little ones.
Another feature to look for is a zipper that works from the inside as well as the outside-it can be scary for a small child to feel stuck in their sleeping bag
- Easy care-look for a bag that is machine washable and dryable.
