We bought some for our kids last Christmas...my kids were one and four at the time. After searching hours online and finding HUGE (and really expensive) bean bag chairs at furniture stores, I walked into Target and accidentally found the perfect sized chairs. And they only cost $20. For my son we got a plain red one and for my daughter, hers looks like an owl and is just a little smaller. Our bean bag chairs get used pretty regularly. Storing them is a little hassle (I keep them stacked in a closet in the living room), but worth it for us. They read, lounge and cuddle up to watch movies on them. The only thing I wish I could change is the cover can only be removed off one of them. They haven't needed too much washing because we are careful, but it would be nice if the covers came off both. I have used the steam cleaner on the one without the cover before. With both bean bag chairs, I made sure the beads were not accessible to my kids. I know someone who walked in to beads everywhere, when her little one figured out the zipper.
