My 4 year old LOVES this chair. He doesn’t care that it’s oddly designed. He thinks he’s so cool and plops himself in it whenever he comes in the room. My issue with it, is how it forces him to sit. No matter how much I “fluff” it and move the beads around, it’s the same shape. It forces him to sit/lean forward like he’s about to fall out of the chair. The only thing that corrects this is if I put something under the front of the bean bag so that he leans back slightly. He loves it though and that’s really what matters
