Child sleeping quilt /cover.

[Fred eric]

In 2 weeks ill have a 4 years old son :)
I am taking a 2 months leave so plenty of time for myog projects :)

With the delivery time to France if i buy from Thruhiker its time to order the materials.

I bought a shangri la 5 and will do a myog nanoseeum / silnylon inner like i did for my para tipi.

He will use for a few years my BPL torsolength pad.

But i have no sleeping bag / quilt for him ( i lean toward blanket shaped quilt + a foot box or maybe a top bag )

First i am hesitating between down and synthetic, is it worthwile to use down for a 32°F ( real 32°F comfort )child bag ?

Second i know now what weight of down i need according to the temperature and what my wife needs ( about 50% more…) but what about a child.

What synthetic clo / or weight /m2 or square yards should i aim for, if i do a synthetic one ?
What down weight for lets say a 35" x 60" blanket ( so he can use it for a few years) shaped quilt ?

Is there commercially available ones ?
I found Tim quilts ( but i have no idea what a 7.4oz means for a child as temperature rating )
