This is a great item to invest in for your kids if you camp where temps drop at night. the size is 6 months-24 months, so it will last them a while!

Camping Gear
From tents, to chairs, to dishware
Regardless of how many people you have sleeping in your tent, get the 8 person or bigger. When you have children sleeping in your tent, it means more stuff. My husband, 3 year old daughter and I use this 9 person tent and it still feels cramped
