Coleman Youth 45 Sleeping Bag

Published · Researched 2026-09-21

Coleman's youth 45°F rectangular sleeping bag — the current mass-market kids' car-camping bag. Correction disclosure: the planned "Coleman Kids mummy bag" description matches a legacy purple mummy variant (model 2000014157); the currently sold Coleman Youth 45 is a rectangular bag, 66 × 26 in, model 2000019647 / UPC 076501117097.

Community verdict

The default cheap kids' bag. Nobody reviews the Coleman Youth 45 with passion — it's bought at big-box stores, used for backyard campouts and summer car camping, and replaced when outgrown. That ubiquity is the verdict: it does the warm-weather job at a price where a ruined bag (marshmallows, mud, juice boxes) isn't a tragedy. Parents stepping up to 3-season camping graduate to the TETON Sports Celsius Junior 20°F or a specialty youth mummy.

Durability & warranty reality

Rectangular ThermoTech bags are nearly indestructible in car-camping use; zippers fail first. Machine-washable is the durability story — wash it, don't baby it.

Yearly history

• Pre-2023: purple mummy variant (2000014157) in circulation.
• 2023–2026: rectangular 2000019647 is the current model.

Comparisons (existing catalog rivals)

• Coleman Kids 50°F Sleeping Bag: The fancier sibling — ComfortCuff draft tube, flashlight pocket, tribal print. Youth 45 is simpler and lighter-duty; Kids 50 is the "nicer" gift bag.
• Kelty Kids' Callisto 30: The specialty upgrade — 30°F, lighter, packable, ~3× the price. Youth 45 for backyard; Callisto for real trips.
• TETON Sports Celsius Junior 20°F (this expansion): The 3-season mummy upgrade at $49.99 — the next step when the kid outgrows 45°F summer use.

Care

Machine wash and dry per label. Store uncompressed.

Buying traps & CPSC recalls

• No CPSC recall found (2026-09-20 search).
• Trap: 45°F is fair-weather only — kids get cold below ~55°F in this bag; it's not a 3-season bag.
• Trap: legacy purple mummy listings (2000014157) — old stock; buy the current rectangular model unless you specifically want the mummy.

Additional voices

• Big-box parent consensus: "fine for summer campouts"; nobody's Everest story starts here, and that's fine.

Spec gap-fill

• Current street price, packed dimensions, exact warranty terms: UNVERIFIED.
