This has been an absolute lifesaver! My son has been able to regulate his emotions so much better having this up in our lounge room, allowing him to move constantly.. and have fun! 💕 highly recommend!
Great product! We have only had this for a week and my son loves it! He has ADHD and ASD and struggles at school and he has been wearing this nearly all day at school and talking to his teacher she has noticed he isn’t as hyper and fidgety in class! 10/10 recommend!
More than just a vibrating cushion - love that you have the option to adjust the weight and temperature as well. Definitely worth purchasing.
My kids love this... and me haha I shocked them, when I drew a picture, tipped it upside down, it looked like it had disappeared but to turn it the right way, and the magnets kept the picture in place. They thought I was magic ✨️
Great for my 5 year old who needs to work on his fine motor skills and being creative. The tap tap set is also loved by my eldest, 13 years old who loves a therapeutic activity before bed. He loves to tap tap away.
Since putting this on my son’s bed it has made a huge difference. We have also found if he is getting overwhelmed he is now retreating to his bed. He says “it feels like a big hug”. We opted for the double as we have a very thick (60cm) king single mattress.
This swing is the absolute bees knees of sensory seeking/ risky play/ calm down activity. It is used multiple times a day by both my kiddos, and is incredibly durable. I cannot recommend it enough!!
This is absolutely perfect for my five year old. It is considerably easier and faster to brush his teeth, and it enables him to brush his own teeth more often, and with better results. This fosters his independence, while aiding his fine motor deficit. I would highly recommend it.
More than just a vibrating cushion - love that you have the option to adjust the weight and temperature as well. Definitely worth purchasing.
I bought this on recommendation from Starfish as I was looking for a game to help my two girls play together. It’s been such a helpful and fun game — they have to work together to complete it, so no arguments about competing against each other!
