    Sweetie Pie Sleeping Bag Expander, Doubler & Kid's Bag
IMPORTANT NOTICE: When placing an order, please VERIFY YOUR SHIPPING ADDRESS FOR ACCURACY before submitting.

The Sweetie Pie is a patented, award-winning product from Functional Design™ that gives families 3 different sleeping configuration options for camping or backpacking:
  1. Doubler
    Zip both pieces of the Sweetie Pie into your adult-size mummy sleeping bag to create a roomy double bag for co-sleeping. Couples wishing to sleep together can do so warmly and comfortably while saving weight and creating space. The Doubler places the zippers on the edges of your bag and the extra space provides the luxurious feeling of sleeping in a bed. It is possible to sleep back-to-back with your knees pulled up, or even add a kid or two for a portable family bed!
    Adds almost 5 feet (152cm) across the shoulders and hips.
  2. Expander
    Unzip your Sweetie Pie into two pieces, and zip one half into your bag to create extra space - perfect for pregnant moms to stretch out and get extra room, nursing moms to cuddle with their babies. You can snuggle up with your toddler or even your dog! The Expander is also appreciated by robust individuals who just want more room, and for those who dislike the claustrophobic feeling of a mummy bag.
    Adds 28" of extra space across the shoulders.
  3. Kid's Bag
    Zipped to itself, the Sweetie Pie makes the perfect size sleeping bag for your child! Fits kids up to 4 feet tall.
    Measurements - Neck: 20 inches, Waist: 28 inches, Footbox: 18 inches.
