Abilitations Inflatable Peapod Junior, 48 Inches, Vinyl, Green (Расk оf Тhrее)

This product is amazing. I bought it for my nephew who is on the spectrum for Christmas last year and he absolutely loved it... Sat in it the whole time he was opening presents and his mom said that he used it frequently throughout the next few months. Unfortunately, the pod developed a hole that couldn’t be patched and is no longer usable. As most of you reading this know, all children crave consistency... Kids on the spectrum crave this 100fold.For the past four months, I have tried calling the number Amazon had for Abilitations only to find it was no longer in service. I tried the email and it bounced back as undeliverable. I then emailed Anazon’s Warranty Department. That was a week ago and I haven’t received even as much as an acknowledgement that they received my email.I would give this product five stars for meeting the purpose it was created for... But, if it cannot stand up to everyday wear and tear, then I cannot give a better rating than one star... A flat pea pod makes for a very sad little boy.

While in theory, this product seems like it would be great for sensory needs and/or Autistic children it does not work well. The design is meant to rock, which seems great...but any movement and it flips over like a cap-sized boat! Our son has been flipped the few times he has tried to use it (he is only 29 pounds too) and now hates it! Would be great if they just made the bottom flat. But since it flips easily, it was a complete waste of money for us. And it is pricey to begin with.

We bought this after having seen our little climb into one at an advanced learning play center & completely become calm. We use this as a calm place tool when our littles get too rambunctious or on energy overdrive. It is a great addition to their space. They often climb into it & read books. A little on the spendy side, but overall we are pleased.

This was intended for my 3 yr old granddaughter who has autism. She is always trying to wrap herself up with blankets and stuff herself into small nooks & crannies so I thought she would love this! Not the case.I'm not exactly sure why. The material was soft to the touch but a lot stiffer than I expected but that's what probably makes it durable. Besides being stiff the bottom does not inflate and has no cushioning to it. I added some pillows and blankets but still none of my grandchildren, with or without sensory issues, cared for it. It's rolled up waiting in closet for another attempt later down the road.

My son is four and has some sensory processing issues. He is visibly calmed and comforted when he's inside the peapod, which we keep inflated on the firm side. Once in a while he has trouble getting into it and it tips, which can set off a tantrum. I know we could defray that by taking some air out of it, but it's a balancing act with finding the pressure setting that gives him the most comfort. All in all, we're really happy with this purchase.

This thing is awesome for my sensory seeker! My son is 4 and I bought the preschool size and there is room for him to grow. My seven year old fits in it also, but just barely. He's about 45 inches tall, 60 pounds. It's very durable, which I was concerned about because my 4 year old loves to bite and chew on things, but thing isn't popping! I had been looking for one for a while because in OT catalogs they are all over $100 so when I found one for $65 I jumped on it and I'm so glad I did. This really helps to calm him down before bed. If your child loves to be squeezed and squished like mine does, this is a must have! One thing - it's a little difficult to blow it up with your mouth (although it is possible) so I would suggest getting some kind of pump to blow it up, it doesn't come with one.

I really like this. It helps calm my son when he's agitated. The fact that it's inflatable means we could take it anywhere. We rarely do, but we could.We often have to re-inflate it, but that's not a problem. It was a great buy and my son is happy.

Material is soft but durable and holds up great! Stays inflated so you don’t have to keep pumping it up every time it is used. Excellent for a sensory seeker!
