Check the care label and follow the manufacturer's instructions. For machine-washable bags, use a gentle cycle with cold water and mild detergent. Air dry or tumble dry on low with tennis balls to fluff the insulation. Ensure the bag is fully dry to prevent mold.

For winter camping, choose a sleeping bag rated for -10°F to -20°F (-23°C to -29°C). Opt for down insulation for dry conditions or synthetic for wet conditions. Mummy-shaped bags provide better heat retention, and look for a water-resistant shell to keep moisture out.

Synthetic: Retains warmth when wet, more affordable but bulkier. Down: Lighter, more compressible, and warmer, but loses insulation when wet. Choose synthetic for wet conditions, and down for dry, cold climates.

For backpacking, choose a lightweight, compressible bag (1-3 lbs). Down insulation offers the best warmth-to-weight ratio but isn't ideal in wet conditions. Synthetic is more durable in damp environments. Look for a mummy-shaped bag for better heat retention.

Look for a bag that’s the right size for your child (typically up to 5' tall). Choose a synthetic bag for easier maintenance. For warmer weather, select bags rated 30°F to 50°F (0°C to 10°C), and for colder weather, go for 20°F (-6°C) or lower. Mummy bags are warmer, but rectangular bags are more spacious.
