We had a problem. When sleeping in separate sleeping bags from your child, how do you know when they are cold? how can you easily feed breast milk naturally at night without turning the light on and waking every one up?
When in Kathmandu we spoke to a manufacturer of sleeping bags if they ever made an adult bag and child bag zip together. There said "this is to hard for when once in every 2 years someone wanted it"
So after buying an adult and child bag we got thinking and came up with this simple way to join any two sleeping bags.
We bought 2 extra zips for 50rps each. These were not full length but about 50 to 60 cm.
Spent a couple hours chilling in stunning Nepal country side hand stitching them onto the existing zips
This could have been done by a local in the village for a dollar, but Clarissa wanted to do it.
So now we have two zips top and bottom sewn onto the original bag zips. Simple to remove and does not damage the existing bag.
It is a little tricky to sew the extra zips on some times as the width on the existing zip base can be rather short. Take your time.
Photos to come once we have better internet connection!
