How to keep 3 year old blanket on?

My 3 year old always kicks away his blanket when sleeping. I can only wake up so many times in the night to cover him again. As a result he always catches a cold in the night. With the cooler weather now I am wondering how other parents keep their kids' blankets tucked in throughout the night. I used sleeping bags when he was younger but it seems that Grobag only do sleeping bags up to 3 years old.
 
This is what I do but still he kicks them off or somehow manages to wriggle out in the night.
 
I have the same problem...the only solution that works for me now is to dress him really warmly so I don't have to worry about the blanket being kicked off.
 
We have the same problem. I also add an xtra layer of clothing at night for D. Plus I just bought some sleepers which cover his feet cos he also hates socks.

I have exactly the same problem with my 15 month old son, he won't keep the blankets on. So last year we bought him a "Grobag". Its like a sleeping bag but the arms are free. They come in different thicknesses (tog values) and sizes. Last week with the change in weather my son woke-up with the cold so we've just bought the 18 months-3 years old size, but I understand there is a 3-5 year old size as well. I bought it in Mothercare, but Bumps to Babes sell them as well. It wasn't cheap ($400) dollars, but he hasn't woken-up at night since.
 
only in very cold weather last year, i put my daughter in a sleeping bag. now, i just wear her two layers of pajama (one short sleeve plus one long sleeve) and use a thin blanket to cover her feet. most likely she kicks the blanket off in the night, but with enough clothes on her, she is ok. However, sometimes she sweats, and the pajamas get wet, then it's easy to have a cold.
 
I think there are blanket clips from brands like NUK (something like $20 for 4) that you could use to keep the blanket on. I haven't used it myself but heard that it works. Hope it helps!
 
I think they have it in BeBe Dream which has branch in Ocean Terminal and Times Square. Otherwise, I believe Eugene Group should carry it.
