Keeping toddler warm when camping

[gonejeeping15]

My kids grew up camping, when they were toddlers it was easy to keep them warm. We had two large down jackets that made excellent toddler sleeping bags, just snug up the draw string on the bottom till it's closed up. You have the opening for their face and the hood and your set. You also have your down jackets for the rest of the time.

Doesn't sound like you're a fan of letting sleep with you, but that's really the best way to ensure he's warm.

My kids keep me warm.

Fall on the north shore is a great time..can't wait.

I have to agree!! I'm leaving Sunday for a week up on the Arrowhead Trail!:elkgrin:

If you're heading up this week, the weather is supposed to be great!!

And though there are burning restrictions on right now, as of 0800 today, camp fires were allowed in a metal fire ring at designated camping areas.

Check these sites before you head out, for up to date info!

ended up going really well..wasn't to cold, upper 40's at night...two nights at Temperance SP. He slept in three layers...light sleeper, heavy sleeper, and and heavy fleece suit. Put blanket on three sides of the pack and play, and underneath. Gave him a couple blankets too, to nest in. He slept better than I did.
Good times!

I had thought about getting something like this for my toddler for the same purpose.
Columbia Snuggly Bunny Down Bunting
Comes in 24mo size

We use something similar for our toddler. Works like a charm, and no worries about them losing the blankets in the night.
