This North Face Wasatch Pro kids sleeping bag is a winner. I've been using North Face bags since the time when they were still owned by Douglas Tompkins. The sleeping bags never faileth. I have two of the Kazoo series and my wife has one. They work perfect for us. So I assumed that a big old bulky, synthetic kids bag at 20°F would be perfect for my 3.5 y/o little lady while camping in 45°F weather near Capitol Reef. She has always seen mom and dad camping in sleeping bags. She was thrilled when she saw her favorite stuffed animal sleeping in it on the living room floor after dinner one night. She jumped right in. The colors are kid perfect. The bag is pretty cozy. But I did need to put one of her blankies in with her, just for that extra warmth. Since she is still small, I stuffed another blanket in the bottom just past her feet so the mass of dead air down there wouldn't get cold. Not sure I would take a kid camping in colder weather. If that was the case, I would probably need a warmer bag. But I think that is true for most of us with the sleeping bag ratings. 20°F bags generally mean you'll survive a 20°F night, but be pretty comfy at 40°F.
