Baby style zip-up sleeping bag for older kids - where can I find them?

My four and a half year old son is very wriggly in his sleep and he often tosses off his blanket/duvet and then wakes up crying that he?s cold. (Somehow he?s still unable to find the blanket and pull it over himself again). What I found works best is a zip-up baby style sleeping bag i.e. the one with holes for the arms and a zip at the front. The problem though is the size. I managed to get a large one abroad which has served him very well for the last couple of years but now we need to move to a bigger one still. Except I cannot really find this type of sleeping bags for slightly older kids - they all tend to go up to 24 or max 36 months whilst the search for kids sleeping bags only brings the standard type i.e. the same as for adults, which seem too hot for indoor use. Does anybody know of a source for such a thing? Are they called differently? Thanks for any suggestions.

i bought 2 for my then 4 year old and 5 year old, i got them from tkmax last year they are summer ones, [the label says 18-36 months/up to height 104cm]. they are huge and fitted great, in fact they will still fit my now 5 year old. they also have fleecy all in ones like big baby grows that i picked up in primark for £6 each, they wore these in our caravan a few weeks ago when on holiday, they were very warm and cosy.

grobag do age 3-6 year sizes. here. Actually on their website they do age 6-10 years too, although not currently in stock.

GroBags also do a duvet that zips to the sheets - not used it myself but spotted it a while ago and thought it looked clever

Thanks everyone. I'll try the fleecy baby grow from Primark. As for the sleeping bag I'm probably after the 6-10 years, which - it seems - the Gro company may have discontinued, as I can't see it even on their website. I guess the duvet that zips to the sheets is an interesting idea, except I've just invested in the waterproof Hippychick sheet - which is great BTW. The good news is that through a conversation thread elsewhere I've discovered a somewhat unusual source i.e. Fledglings who do them for up to 150cm size. Not cheap though...
