I have a 7 y/o who is taking to backpacking. I tried her with my quilt but the worm wiggled out during the night. I have to wake periodically to recover her. I am thinking sleeping bag now and could use recommendations for kid size. Rating down to 20' F is good. Thanks.
I have gone through this with my daughters. I would recommend getting a good 20 degree down bag sized for a small adult. Your kid/s can grow into the bag, it can get passed down, or it has a wider resale market if they either lose interest or out grow the bag.
I also just bought women's down bags (REI Sub Kilos) for my sons to use.
My youngest started using it at 4.5 and is now 8. He's a major wiggler – woke up in the Wind Rivers with him laying across the 2-person tent down at my feet.
The oldest is 17 and normally uses the Long version I had gotten for him as a quilt but girth wise it would now be snug if he ever needed to zip it up so I just picked up a men's bag for him.
