We also want one of these so am very interested in peoples experiences of these. I have heard that SIM's could be better as there isn’t a layer of cold air underneath..

Hi I think its one of the best bits of kit you can buy for toddlers up to about 5-6 yrs. Far better than a ready bed which normally have very thin sleeping bag parts. Age wise I don't think I would put a small baby in one but 18 months up should be ok. Regards Gary

We have the kampa and have used it for 3 yrs now...great. Our son doesn't do sleeping bags so its duvet/sheets and blankets. The raised sides means theres no draughts and he kind of snuggles in there. I think he may have outgrown it this yr though and looking for plan b. Will try him when next go in trailer as thats where its stored

We have had the Kampa since last year (bought it when daughter turned 4) and its been fab, my daughter is very tall for her age though and we are thinking of giving her our airbed this year (we are getting a new raised one).
The Kampa was great though and daughter loved sleeping in it, think shes going to miss it when she does get too tall for it
I think you can prob start using one of these from about 18 months - if not before? My friends little boy stayed the night at our house once and he slept on my daughters kampa airbed and he was only 15 months old at the time.
As for a sheet, we just used a fleece blanket, which made it slghtly warmer for her aswell.
Amazing family weekend with old steam engines, classic car displays, market stalls, and full catering and bar. And camping on site - Save £25 by booking in advance.
