Adjustable children's sleeping bags for camping, travel & little adventures
The first camping trip. The school trip. A night at a friend's house. Or the big family adventure in a camper van. For many children, having their own sleeping bag eventually becomes a must.
Grüezi bag® children's sleeping bags are designed to accompany children on many adventures. All models in this collection are adjustable and designed for children with a height of approximately 100 to 170 cm .
An extendable foot section allows the length of the sleeping bag to be adjusted to the child's height. While the child is smaller, the sleeping space remains more compact. As the child grows, the sleeping bag can simply be lengthened.
Depending on the intended use, you can choose between easy-care synthetic fiber children's sleeping bags, models with AlmWolle insulation and a particularly lightweight DownWool® children's sleeping bag.

Why do children need their own children's sleeping bag?
A child is significantly smaller than an adult. Therefore, the sleeping bag should also be the right size for the child.
If a sleeping bag is much too large, the body has to heat an unnecessarily large amount of air inside. A properly sized children's sleeping bag reduces this excess space and at the same time creates enough room for the child to move comfortably.
That's precisely why Grüezi bag® children's sleeping bags are designed to grow with the child.
A suitable size instead of a lot of empty sleeping space
The sleeping bag can be lengthened via a horizontal zipper in the foot area.
For younger children, the foot area remains closed initially. As the child grows, the additional area can be opened.
Thus, a sleeping bag accompanies the child for a significantly larger portion of its growth phase.
Height approximately 100 to 170 cm
The children's sleeping bags in this collection are designed for children with a height of approximately 100 to 170 cm.
This means that, depending on body type and individual growth, they can be used from childhood well into adolescence.

Which children's sleeping bag is right for my child?
Not every overnight stay has the same requirements.
You need a different sleeping bag for a warm night at a friend's house than for a trip in spring or a multi-day outdoor tour.
That's why Grüezi bag® offers three different concepts for children.
Kids Grow Colorful – the uncomplicated children's sleeping bag for warm nights
The Kids Grow Colorful is a children's sleeping bag that grows with the child and features easy-care synthetic fiber insulation.
It is particularly suitable for warm conditions as well as for camping, motorhomes, cabin stays, school trips and overnight stays with friends.
The three-dimensional microfiber filling stores insulating air while simultaneously supporting the transport of moisture to the outside.
The sleeping bag is easy to care for, washable and offers plenty of freedom of movement thanks to its comfortable cut – especially practical for children who often turn over at night.

Wolle Kids World Traveller – Children's sleeping bag with Alpine wool insulation
The Wolle Kids World Traveller is interesting for families looking for a versatile sleeping bag for camping, travel, cabins, school trips and overnight stays.
Its special feature is the AlmWolle insulation . Wool can absorb moisture and helps to balance temperature and humidity fluctuations in the sleeping bag.
This is especially pleasant when children sweat at night, the humidity changes, or condensation forms in the tent.
This model also grows with the child's height thanks to its extendable foot section, which can be adjusted from approximately 100 to 170 cm.

DownWool KidsTeen – lightweight and compact for bigger adventures
When weight and pack size play a bigger role, the DownWool KidsTeen comes into play.
This adjustable children's sleeping bag combines 70% duck down with 30% wool in its insulation.
The down provides warmth, loft, and a small pack size. The wool complements the insulation with its ability to absorb moisture and support climate and temperature regulation inside the garment.
With a weight of approximately 730 g plus pack sack and a compressed pack volume of approximately 5,5 liters, this model is particularly interesting for families who also need to carry the sleeping bag – for example, on trips, hut or trekking tours.
The DownWool KidsTeen also grows with the child, from approximately 100 to 170 cm in height.
Synthetic fiber, wool or DownWool® – which is better for my child?
The answer depends on where the sleeping bag is primarily used.
Synthetic fiber: uncomplicated and easy to care for
A synthetic fiber children's sleeping bag is particularly practical when easy care is a priority.
This makes Kids Grow Colorful interesting for, for example, the following reasons:
- Camping in summer
- Overnight stays with friends
- School trips
- youth hostels
- Motorhome and caravan
- Overnight stays in mountain huts in mild conditions
AlmWolle: pleasant sleeping climate under changing conditions
Wool can absorb moisture and thus helps to maintain a balanced climate inside the sleeping bag.
This is particularly useful when camping and traveling, where humidity, temperature and condensation can fluctuate significantly.
The Wolle Kids World Traveller is therefore a versatile choice for families who travel frequently.
DownWool®: lightweight meets moisture management
DownWool® combines down and wool in one insulation.
The KidsTeen filling consists of 70% down and 30% wool.
The down provides high loft and a small pack size. The wool can absorb moisture and complements the insulation, helping to regulate climate and temperature.
Which material should you choose?
For uncomplicated warm nights: Kids Grow Colorful.
For camping, travel and a wide range of uses: Wool Kids World Traveller.
When low weight, small pack size and versatile outdoor use are important: DownWool KidsTeen.
Children's sleeping bag for camping
For many children, the love of being outdoors begins with their first camping holiday.
And anyone who has ever spent the night in a tent with children knows: A good night's sleep makes the next day much more relaxed.
When camping, a child's sleeping bag should therefore not only insulate. It should offer sufficient freedom of movement, fit the child properly, and be able to handle moisture, such as that caused by sweating or condensation in the tent.
All models in this collection are designed for camping.

Children's sleeping bag for school trips & youth hostels
For many families, a personal sleeping bag becomes a topic of discussion at the latest during the first school trip.
A child's sleeping bag should above all be uncomplicated: easy to transport, comfortable and quick to pack and unpack.
Another advantage of having their own sleeping bag: The child is already familiar with it from home or previous trips. Especially during the first overnight stay without parents, something familiar can be comforting.
The kids' models from Grüezi bag® are therefore also suitable for:
- School trips
- youth hostels
- holiday camp
- Cabins
- Overnight stays with friends
- Family travel
A sleeping bag that grows with you instead of needing a new size every year.
Children grow quickly. That's why the length of the Grüezi bag® children's sleeping bags is not limited to just one body size.
The foot section can be extended via a horizontal zipper.
If the child is younger
The additional foot area remains closed. This means there is less unused space in the sleeping bag that needs to be warmed.
As the child grows
The foot area opens up and the sleeping bag lengthens.
Up to about 170 cm height
The models in the collection are designed for a height of approximately 100 to 170 cm for people of normal build.
This means that the same sleeping bag can accompany a child through several growth phases.
How warm should a child's sleeping bag be?
When choosing children's sleeping bags, you shouldn't simply refer to the comfort temperatures of adult sleeping bags.
Children's sleeping bags do not have exact temperature ratings according to the same scheme as adult sleeping bags.
Which sleeping bag is suitable depends, among other things, on the child's age and build, sleepwear, sleeping pad, humidity, wind protection and personal warmth sensitivity.
Therefore, it makes more sense to choose according to the planned use.
For warm nights and summer
The Kids Grow Colorful is the lighter option in this collection.
For spring to autumn and diverse travel.
The Wolle Kids World Traveller offers particularly interesting moisture and climate management thanks to its AlmWolle insulation.
For versatile 3-season use with low weight
The DownWool KidsTeen combines down and wool and offers a particularly low weight and small pack size.

What details are important when choosing a children's sleeping bag?
When it comes to a child's sleeping bag, it's often the small details that are important.
Growing design
All sleeping bags in this collection have an extendable foot section and grow with the child from approximately 100 to 170 cm in height.
Movement
Children rarely lie completely still at night. A comfortable cut gives them room to turn and move around.
Rustle-free material
The children's models are made from pleasantly quiet or rustling-free materials. This can be especially beneficial for restless or noise-sensitive sleepers.
Hood without drawstring
In certain models, a drawstring is deliberately omitted in the head area. The product design thus takes into account the special safety requirements for children.
washability
A child's sleeping bag has to withstand a lot in everyday life. Always follow the care instructions for the specific model when cleaning it.
How to wash your sleeping bag properly
OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 for children's sleeping bags
The listed children's sleeping bags use materials that have been tested for harmful substances according to OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 .
Instead of deriving a general environmental promise from it, the labeling specifically means that the materials used meet the requirements of the respective OEKO-TEX® test.
Children's sleeping bag for motorhome, caravan & van
Even when traveling in a camper van, a separate sleeping bag for children is practical.
It can be quickly stowed away, brought out again for the next overnight stay, and can be used just as well at the campsite, in a cabin or at friends' houses.
This is precisely where the versatility of a model that grows with the child pays off: A sleeping bag accompanies many different trips, instead of being intended only for a single vacation.

Choosing the right children's sleeping bag: 5 questions will help you decide
Still unsure which model is right for you? These five questions will help:
- How tall is your child? The models in this collection are designed for body heights of approximately 100 to 170 cm.
- Where do people mainly sleep? At a friend's house, on a school trip, in a camper van, in a cabin or outside in a tent?
- What time of year are you traveling?
- How important are weight and pack size? If the sleeping bag needs to be carried, a lighter model is particularly worthwhile.
