Perfect for a kid...easy to clean material, lightweight and quite sturdy.  It is a bit over stuffed so remove some of the styrofoam pellets if needed. Use a safety pin to unzip the duel zippers to remove the stuffing (they are child-safe zippers). My 3 year likes this bean bag chair but he actually likes the one I bought for myself even more (green and white polka dots by flash furniture) because it's more comfortable as it's made of fabric. Can't beat the price on this chair.
