What does your toddler sleep in/under?

My DS is 18 months and still in sleeping bags. He doesn't like them and cries when we get it out at bedtime. With the weather being hotter, we've just been putting him down and putting a cellular blanket over him which has been great and he's slept really well, so I think we're done with sleeping bags. Starting to think about a little, light duvet (no pillow as he's never had one so doesn't miss it!) but don't know if I should? What do your toddler's sleep in/under? Any recommendations?

2yrs 10 months is currently in a vest, fleece pjs and socks. A duvet seems to wake him up . 15 month old is in long sleeved popper vest and pj bottoms. He comes in with me when he wakes up .

2y1month in long sleeve vest, pjs and thick socks. Has a light weight duvet (has done for 2 months now) but generally wiggles out of duvet by morning so hence layers and socks in particular!

2 year old in pj bottoms and tshirt. She has a light duvet but normally kicks it off. She has never been in a sleeping bag and wouldn't let me put her in one!

My 14 month old has a vest and long sleeved pjs, only a light blanket as he doesn't like being covered. Temp drops of a nighttime so I try to drape it over him once he's in his deep sleep

2 yrs and 2 months in a t shirt and covered in a duvet cover and a light fleece blanket having kicked his duvet off in a sweat! We just have a normal lightweight duvet on him but he is in a full sized single bed. I cut down a lightweight aldi one to make him a cot duvet and that worked really well and so much cheaper than an actual cot duvet. One single duvet cover make two cot sized covers too

DD2 is the same age and still in sleeping bags. She doesn't seem to mind them.
DD1 was a terror and had a duvet around 18 months. I had a 4.5 tog one. They also sell them in 2.5 or 7. I would go for a thinner one myself and add layers if necessary.
All the supermarkets sell them, Dunelm, John Lewis etc

Ds has had a normal duvet (and pillow) since about 18months. He also hated his sleeping bag. Confused

DS is 22 months and we have just moved up to the 3 - 6 year size sleeping bag Confused. I think he still moves about too much for anything else.

18mo twins in long sleeved pyjamas and have a very very thin duvet/ quilt thing that they end up lying on top of. Our house is a stupidly warm new build

My 22 month old had had a duvet for the past couple of months, he has a wool one so it’s good for all temperatures. He hates his sleeping bag towards the end but loves his duvet!
