Guide to Selecting a Bean Bag Chair
Choosing a bean bag chair for your child can be a very daunting task. Unlike many adult bean bag chairs, bean bag chairs for children come in a wide variety of styles, sizes, comfort, and functionality. You have all of these choices. And, if you have a picky child as I do, the more choices available, the harder it is to pick the right chair. Here is some guidance in what to look for when picking the perfect chair for your child.
First Step
The first thing you should look for in the comfort of the chair and the look of the chair. Your child is going to want a chair that is comfortable but also goes along with their style. If your child is going to be sitting in the chair a lot, you will want one that has back support and, maybe, armrests. If your child moves around a lot and is squirmy, you will want a more circular chair so that they don’t lose their balance.
Second Step
The second thing to look for is the sturdiness and durability of the chair and the fabric. You want a fabric that is easy to spot clean or throw in the washing machine. Your child is going to be spending time on this chair watching TV, playing video games, using it as an opponent in an Ultimate World Wresting match… You want a chair that can stand up to being tossed around like a, well, bean bag. The material should be strong and the stitching should be durable.
Third Step
The third thing to look for is the safety of the fabric and the bean bag, itself. Check the material that the cover is made from. Is it hypoallergenic? Does it have an itchy material that will cause irritations? Check that the seams. Will the filling come out? If it does, will your child choke on the filling? Where is the zipper located?
Fourth Step
The fourth thing you should look at is the size of the chair. Is it small or large enough for your child? Is it too big or too small for the room you will keep it in for most of the time? Luckily, there are bean bag chairs for kids of a variety of sizes. The ideals size of chairs for toddlers is a chair with a circumference in the range of 110-120 inches. If your child is a teen, you will want a chair in the range of 140 – 150 inch circumference.
Final Step
The final thing you should look for when picking out a bean bag chair is the prints and colors. Choose a color that your child will love. Many children love chairs that are bright and colorful instead of pale and bland. Your child might even like a print or a specific shape.
FAQs – Bean Bag Chairs For Kids
How safe are bean bag chairs for toddlers?
As with any product, there is a caution aspect. Bean bag chairs don’t have sharp edges or hard parts are a very versatile place for kids to sit, play, and roll around. BUT, toddlers should not be left unattended when sitting on a bean bag chair. Toddlers are small and have limited muscle capability. If the toddler is wrestling with the bean bag chair, the chair could land on top of their mouths. This could be a potentially dangerous situation.
Why do bean bag chairs cost so much?
Some bean bag chairs cost a lot due to the type of fabric used to make the chair cover. Nylon is a fabric that can be placed both indoors and outdoors. It has strong fibers that last longer. Silk and suede fabrics are exquisite looking but cost quite a bit. Polyester is a fabric that is durable, waterproof, and less costly. You also have to take into consideration the size, filling, and design features. The larger the size, the more it costs. There are different filling options. Memory foam costs more than beads. Finally, consider the brand. If the chair is made by a high-end company, the cost will be higher.
Are bean bag chairs worth the time and money?
The short answer is: yes. They provide additional seating. Some provide additional storage space. Most bean bag chairs are light and soft, making a great seating option for your child and they won’t ruin the floor.
