Do we need sleeping bags for children, or will gro bags and lots of layers do??

[LittleMonkiesMum]

What do we need and where do we get them from? Going to St Ives in late June so think will need to be quite warm. Children will be 21 months and 6 months.
Thanks x

My DS(2) goes in a 2.5tog grobag with cardigan and a blanket over the top. We have an 18-36m one.
DD (3) has a kidsize sleeping bag from a proper camping shop, she loves it. Will get DS one for his birthday next year.

Would also recommend double self-inflating mattresses - they are much thinner than lilos so nobody rolls off the edge or down the gap.

We used grobags and a few fleece blankets. we put them in jumpers too if it was particularly cold.

id go for grobags but if you dont have some sleeping bags and blankets are fine.

If you have adult sleeping bags you can always tie something round the middle to make them shorter
