Review on Blue AppleRound Air Stability Wobble Cushion With Pump - 34Cm /13.5In Diameter - Ideal For Balance, Sensory Stimulation And Active Sitting by Julio Rattanajatuphorn

First of all, I am very grateful for the reviews I read before purchasing these cushions. I felt very confident in my choice to purchase these for my toddlers.These have been awesome. We have had two of them for over a year and a half now and they are still going strong. We have ordered from AppleRound before and have always been pleased with their products. When you pump them up, they go a little more round than I was anticipating, they looked like they'd be more flat on top, but that hasn't effected much. My 22 month old (at the time) took to it right away and could balance like a champ. The 3 yr old struggled to balance at first (he's awkward and uncoordinated, so it wasn't surprising). It took a few months before he was comfortable balancing on it with his feet. That alone was great progress for him! Now the two of them (4&3 yrs) hop around on them like agile frogs (or something). It's second nature for them to walk from one to the other and play random games with them.They are fun for them to just sit on as well. We have a homeschool pre-k group who comes to my house on rotation once a month. The kids love it when it's their turn to sit on the cushion during circle time. And it keeps their butts on the ground instead of running around so I'm quite happy about that!The Cushions are basically permanent fixtures in our living room. When Grandma visits she likes to stand on them to massage her feet (ew?) and the boys like to challenge the neighbors to see who can balance the longest on them. One can hold a pretty heavy adult (over 200lbs) and not bust open, so that's nice! They make a great ice-breaker as well :)My baby is currently enjoying them as well. He is climbing on them, trying not to roll off of them, drooling on them, and exploring the textures!PROS:-can handle a lot of weight (200lbs +)-teaches balance for toddlers-great safe play for baby-no off-gassing-low maintenance-massages grandma's feetCONS:-If you look at the pictures, there is a dent in the side that doesn't go away. It's no big deal, more of an aesthetic issue. It doesn't seem to effect the functionality.
