It's always a leap of faith to buy a newer product, but it's fairly rare to have the item arrive and turn out exactly how you wanted it to.
I was looking for a high quality, low-footprint/low-profile whole-body fidget option for my sensory-seeking kids so that family movie nights weren't interrupted by frequent shifting and re-arranging (and fleeing the room when the scenes involve romance, as the kids can't contain their reactions to that 😂) - and that was exactly what we got. They LOVE it. They each want their own now, which I would be inclined to do if I didn't think it would just be absolute chaos 😂
That said, it's perfect for what we needed it to do - which is, give them non-disruptive ways to feel comfortable engaging in an activity that requires sitting for longer periods. (Again, it's very low to the ground and not so fast that it's flinging the kids out unless they decide to do it on purpose - AND NO SQUEAKING!)
I'm looking into creating a sensory room for our garden and if we do that, I will absolutely be purchasing another one of these. Would also highly recommend to any library or other sensory room provider.
