WHAT CHILD CARE CENTRES SAY
Both the teachers and the children are really enjoying the bimpi bean bags. Some of the toddlers love picking them up by their handles and carrying them around to set up in a place to sit on.
We have found them really comfortable, and flexible for a number of uses.
Here is a photo of one of our toddlers reading to her doll.

At Tots on Triton we love our bimpi bean bag! It is extremely versatile and we use it in many different ways such as snuggling up and reading stories on it, giving older children bottles, lying infants on for a different surface. Also for children who are learning to crawl but aren’t so keen on lying on the floor, it is a softer surface which they can prop themselves up on while being comfortable. It has a water resistant covering which is perfect for a busy childcare centre and being double bagged it is safe and childproof. We are bimpi bag fans!!

I have asked the children for their voice in regards to the new "bimpi bags."
Children's voice:
"I like them because they have two circles, you can lay them down, there are lines and colours."
"They are smooth and nice to lay down on and I can have a sleep on them and dream away."
"Beautiful colours, like flowers."
Teachers thoughts:
“They are cool and we really like them, you can easily carry them with the strap if you want to take them to other places. We think they should have more beans in them as they seem to have become flat quite quickly.

Bimpis - What a Bean Bag!
At Junior Junction Child Care we purchased 4 of these bean bags to use in our centre. The bean bags have been used with all age groups, but have been mainly used in the baby’s room. The babies have enjoyed climbing, rolling, lying, hiding and sitting on the bean bags. The teachers have also enjoyed these bags especially in the outdoors due to them being easy to clean. I would really recommend these versatile bean bags to anyone.

The bimpi has been a great addition to our babies room. It has meant that our young babies that cannot sit up are able to be popped up and see what’s going on. The teachers love the bimpi as it is comfortable to on when feeding babies and can be positioned anywhere in the room.

We love our bimpi bags! They are durable and wonderful for the children to sit on, and we use them for our babies to lie on. I found Linda very professional and accommodating to our needs – thanks for introducing bimpi bags to us.
Leanne Kirkham, Mainly Kids - Remuera
We have had the bimpi bag for about a month now and it is getting used all day, every day. It creates the opportunity to bring the teachers down to the childrens level and is a wonderful physical support tool for both teachers and babies alike.
Thanks bimpi, great product! We are looking forward to our next purchase.

WHAT OTHER BIMPI FANS SAY
Emma Treadaway, Auckland
Thanks for the great bimpi bean bag, we all love using it both at home and out-and-about. It's great to rest behind the baby while she's learning to sit on her own, and our 2 year loves being in it when he's watching home movies. I've found it to be awesome when out on the boat, I lay on it flat when its rocky-rolly and it cushions me perfectly making the sail a lot more enjoyable. We also take it when going out, it's great to sit on when the kids are running around the park or for picnics at the beach. It's one of our favourite pieces of furniture.

I love the bimpi bag…I use it as a cushion on my armchair by hanging it on the back of the chair. I can then adjust the roll of the beans to the height I require for the small of my back. It is very comfortable and does not need too much beans to do the job.”
Pey Bin, Auckland
Thanks so much for creating such a useful piece of furniture! It has been especially wonderful for our 2 year old who loves it for bottle time, TV time, book time and his wrestling time when he needs to let off some steam and his baby sister isn't int the mood to join in :o) Our 10 month old on the other hand has her own uses for it, such as crawling under it, pulling it on top of herself and as a crash pad. I think one of the best features is the shape making it so versatie and easy to manouver. Our two year old just takes it to where ever he wants it without us having to lift a finger. This has however caused some concern to our cat who I'm sure believes we got it for her. As soon as the kids are out of the room the cat heads straight for it. The fabric has been wonderful, easy to clean and does not seem to pick up fluff or hold onto cat hair. It's uses are endless........ a seat, lounger, bed, crash pad, tunnel, wrestling partner, snuggly, toy the list just goes on. So thank you so much it has far exceeded my expectations of a simple bean bag, it is so much more!!!

Hi Delena here. The bimpi has been great I use it inside to watch TV on as I am expecting my second child and it is so comfortable to lie on. We used it a lot in the boat and it really has been very useful.

An elderly couple says their bimpi bag is used often and their son loves it!
Phil, Auckland
I was given a bimpi bag as a gift from a close friend on the birth of my twins.
I have found it invaluable for feeding when I am on my own, and need to feed both at once, by laying a baby on either side. They are well supported and comfortable. Any spills are easily wiped off the durable fabric. It is also great to throw in the car when going to visit family and friends as it can be used as a substitute for a bouncinette once we arrive.
I have used it as a seat for myself when the babies are having "tummy time" on the floor, and the cat takes any opportunity to sleep in it, and is very unhappy about being removed! Great for pets too! I would highly recommend the bimpi bag.
Natalie Roberts, Auckland
I must tell you our bimpi is a real hit with the boys (3 & 5 years) and us. It's been a brilliant crash out zone that the boys gravitate too when they need to slow down and catch their breath, and they often fall asleep on it in the afternoon. Its the favourite place for reading to the boys as we comfortably sit three on it when it's puffed out to a sofa shape. Bimpi is a totally usable design.

These look comfy practical and perfect for babies and little ones to relax in, great colors too, not too deep like regular beanbags.

Love the idea! My kids love to lay on their pillows and blankets. Great how they fold up for another type of seat as well. Great job!
Beth, United States
My boy loves his bimpi bag. As soon as I took it inside and placed it on the floor he willingly sat in it and watched some TV. He uses it all the time and looks ever so cute in it. A great purchase!!!!!
