I have never really liked bean bags. I find I end up sitting about two inches above the floor and need a crane to get to my feet. The beanbag principle I think is great and they are comfy. Now along comes the perfect answer. The Sumo. The Sumo Omni measure around 4.5 feet by 5.5 feet and is huge and very comfortable - in fact, too comfortable. Look at this!
Now tell me, how many bean bags do you know that can comfortably sit four youngsters - but it's MY Sumo Omni! I must say they do look comfortable and it does keep them quiet for a little while.
The Sumo range of bean bags are relatively new here in Australia. I know they have been around in the states for a quite a while. In a way they are perfect for kids. They are not made from flimsy fabric, they are made from a tough canvas like material that is surprisingly comfortable and not all at sticky (summer is almost here).
It is certainly hard wearing and looks to be pretty kid proof. The seal for the beans is certainly strong enough to make it difficult for little fingers.
There are more uses than just letting the kids use it to watch TV.
The Sumo Omni is a great place to simply relax. As you can see it can be quite a family affair. I don't have the space here but I have another photo that shows all four of my kids sitting with me as I read to them (and no I am not asleep).
My better half has found the Sumo Omni to be pretty comfortable for breast feeding the youngest addition to the family. As she says, it's practical, its comfortable and it can be shaped to suit whichever feeding style she wants.
The final word has to go to the baby of the house - she has claimed it as hers despite my protests. I think I need to another two or three somehow. If I do, I am getting the Giganator - sounds like a dinosaur doesn't it - it is huge and measures 86 x 60 x 40. Just right for me.
In short, these Sumo bean bags - and there is a wide range of them, are great. They are durable, kid proof, can take my weight (100kg) easily and yet they are easy to store. Check them out for yourself. In the meantime, I want my Sumo back!

oh my stars
I wish upon the stars for of these.
I agree with Arna.
I still breastfeed my twin sons morning and night -it's so hard to get them in a comfortable position now.
I have entered your competition now ... how am I going to resist the urge.
Beanbag
I love it, great review, great photos, thanks for sharing!
Breastfeeding Is So Comfy
As a nursing mother, it can be hard sometimes to get comfortable. I'm a rather short person, so sitting in any standard chair means my feet are way off the ground.
Getting the position of feeding to suit comfort can be hard, especially the negotiating of pillows so that me and bubs are comfy but bubs is still able to feed properly is highly tricky.
The Sumo bean bag has proven to be a real godsend in regards to feeding. My feet are able to reach the ground, we are cocooned and secure and there is no need to use the pillows any more. I just wish I could drag it with me every where.
There is one teeny problem though. Us adults have to fight the kids for use of our new furniture. As Les said, it keeps them quite for a while, which is heaven, but I do have a baby to feed still.
