Sleeping bag for DD

I'm planning our first family camping trip since DD was born and she will be 2 when were going. I'm wondering if anyone has suggestions about a sleeping bag for her?

DH and myself camped lots before DD was born but I've no experience of having a toddler away and don't want her to be cold.

I plan on her sleeping in between DH and me on a double air bed (if its too cramped DH will get kicked out onto the single air bed!) also bringing blankets and will have her pjs and fleecy suit and a hot water bottle in case!

Would this be an ok bag for her www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ANDES-PICHU-300-CHILDRENS-KIDS-2-3-SEASON-SLEEPING-BAG-PINK-BLACK-CAMPING-GIRLS-/360656659643?pt=UK_SportingGoods_SleepingBags_SM&hash=item53f8cfe4bb

Sorry links are being strange!

The most important thing is she cant slip down inside the bag, I bought adult bags for the kids and placed a tight belt around the bag to adjust the length.

I bought a vango wilderness for my ds who is a little bit older than your dd at 3. The bag has a longer end piece which you zip on as the children grow. It was a bit pricier though in the sales at 27 quid but is pretty warm.

I second a fleecy onsie and hot water bottle!

The belt thing is such a good idea! That was a concern! I'm off to look at Vango bags now, my sleeping bag is a vango one and has lasted me forever so I might just invest in one.

Getting stupidly excited about this trip even though its only 2 nights fairly close to home to see how DD will cope but she's an outdoor child so fingers crossed!

Thanks for your help!
