I know a couple of manufacturers are making “junior” sleep systems. Are they worth it or am I better off getting a smaller bed chair for taking my eldest?

After recommendations on either.

Thanks

Ridgemonkey junior is a great bed, wish they had an adult version, never seen the Nash junior.
My 6 years old son love his Rm bed 100% worth it, high legs 50cm and super Spring loaded

Prologic Cruzade Bedchair 6 Legs 168 x 68, not the strongest but for -12 year olds good enough

Anaconda also have 2 kid beds
-Nighthawk CVR-6 170x75cm (seperate sleeping bag)
-Sleepsystem: Anaconda 4-Season Bed Chair 170 x 70

My 11 year old daughter is be using the Prologic next year I will buy her the Anaconda sleep system, if she comes with me alone I take the Rm junior bed for her she is 146cm (4.7ft) and still has plenty of room on it

Sorry forgot to mention that. He's nearly 7 and my youngest is 4. So I guess if I got a ridgemonkey junior it would get handed down anyway.

Carptrix do a junior bedchair at a reasonable cost. Available on eBay

Both my lads started coming night fishing when they were about 8 or 9. Initially, they just used roll up camping mats that they already had for cubs. Then they upgraded to full size bedchairs once I knew they would definitely take it up as a hobby. They were about 12 or 13 at this stage, just saved me shelling out for junior sized bedchairs which they'd only get a few years out of.

I got the Nash one for my 5 year old, used it all year round with no issues, nice and lightweight and fits perfectly at the end of the barrow no issues, i got mine off ebay brand new for about £100 (offers going on at the time so got lucky!) He loves it and should last him a few more years before its handed down to the next one, so got my monies worth!

Cant comment for ridgemonkey one but think they are pretty much both the same, would recommend rather than having to lug around two bedchairs!

Can recommend the Ridgemonkey one , ideal for my 6 year old. Can see it lasting him at least a couple more years sizewize. Comes in handy if your stopping away and need an extra bed for a little one as well.

Thanks for the info. I've ordered the ridgemonkey one for him.

I'm on the hunt for a Nash or RM sleep system for my daughter who I want to start taking with me next year. She'll be 4yrs old.

Stock seems to be depleted online everywhere from what I can see. I did find one website selling the Nash one but I believe it's fake (USA based).

The sleep system approach would be my preference over buying another large bedchair and separate sleeping bag. If anyone can help I'd be grateful!

Shame you didn't ask this a week ago. There was the Ridgemonkey sleep system in the pre loved items at the Tackle Tavern circa £100. I just checked for you, and unfortunately it's now gone.

I had considered it for my boy. But in the end just decided to keep him on his Fox Duralite, as it looked like he would outgrow the RM fairly quick anyhow.

That's annoying! But on the plus side you've given me another avenue to explore that I hadn't thought of, so thanks for that

Nice one. I did hear a rumour about this, looks like it's true!
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
