L.L. Bean Kid's Adventure Sleeping Bag 20

A Sleeping bag is essential for any child who wants to go on overnight adventures, even if it is just camping out in the backyard.  The L.L. Bean Kid’s Adventure Sleeping Bag 20 is a great option that will last your child multiple years.  Even if you’re child is like my son and sleep in it EVERY night.

My parents have bought my two youngest children sleeping bags for Christmas.  My daughter received a Kelty bag a few years back and my son got his L.L. Bean one last year.  The Kelty bag is a nice bag and about $15 cheaper than the L.L. Bean model but is designed like a child’s bag that you can find anywhere.  The Kelty bag has a flat hood and flannel lining like any kids bag you would find at a super store just built with high quality materials unlike the ones from a super store.  On the other hand the L.L. Bean Kid’s Adventure Sleeping Bag 20 is built like an adult bag.  High quality nylon lining and shell, an actual fitted hood and a ¾ length zipper.

The sleeping bag over the past year has proved to handle the abuse that most bags would take in a life time.  My son has slept in it every night since he got it.  We have always washed it in a front loading washing machine (essential for any outdoor family) on delicate and it has handled the many cleanings well.  The sleeping bag does compress nicely for a synthetic fill bag and is manageable weight for a backpacking trip.

All in all I personally think this is a great bag for a child who’s family has an outdoor lifestyle.  L.L. Bean consistently makes solid products at a fair price and the Adventure Sleeping Bag 20 is no exception.
