Harkla Hug Autism Sensory Chair (48 inches) - Inflatable Sensory Peapod for Children with Sensory Needs - Therapeutic Compression Sensory Toys | Kids 2 to 6 | Pea Pod, Air Pump

It was great for my son who is on the spectrum. At least at first. He found it very calming. It started losing air a couple months after getting it. We found that it was losing air from a spot where the material had came apart the handle. They do send patches, but these will not work on a hole of this nature. Even though it was only two months, this was passed Amazon’s return window.

Had this less than a month and one of the handles ripped and now it wont hold air. I cant use provided patch kit where this hole is. My son loved it before that. I am having trouble finding a way to contact company through the Amazon website. Am gonna seek them out online. Its definitely not worth the money if it's going to tear so easily. ##edit## I have since been in contact with the people at Harkla and they quickly and kindly sent me a new one! (Second pic) We have only had it one day, but so far so good! I hope this one lasts.

My child with high sensory needs uses this every day for deep pressure, and it’s held up great. The material is strong, easy to inflate, and still looks brand new after months of use. A must-have for sensory kids!

They send you the Pea Pod and you have to screw in the valves yourself before inflating it. Not a big deal except the one I received today, when you try to screw them in tightly (like the instructions say) they pop back out. I wrestled with this on each (3) valve spot for about 20 minutes when I decided to just put them in at the spot it let me go before they would pop off and go ahead and inflate thinking this was what they meant. However, since the valve isn’t tight enough the air pressure just blows the valves off. We have been wanting to get my son one of these for quite some time, we finally splurged and did so. He was excited, we’re excited and not we are having a tough time telling our son who is on the Autism Spectrum that is Pod is here but he can’t use it. Ridiculous.

I’m a special ed. teacher working in a separate preschool classroom. I purchased this for my students and set it up in the quiet corner. All my kids loved it. It really helped them to stay calm. However, it just lasted for 6 months. Both sides were deflated easily but I couldn’t find any holes. I needed to pump them up every other day. Also, one end was separated because some of my kids were taller and bigger than typical 4 year old. I tried to use the tape but it didn’t work well. I would consider to purchase the longer one (60’) if I had extra classroom fund. I would recommend this product if you have extra money and really need something to help your child to stay calm. In order to keep this product in good condition for longer time, I’d suggest to show your child how to use it appropriately.

My grandson is on the spectrum of Autism. I bought him one and soon as he opened it, he got in right away and loved it. He was three when I bought it now he is nine, and still uses it daily. He feels safe and very comfortable! He barely fits into it now. I recommend this product over the tight thin bodysuit. A comfortable place he goes to a lot. Well worth your money, great quality and his best friend.

We purchased this for our autistic son. He absolutely loved it, however within a couple of months it began to lose air. Over time, one side completely tore away at one of the main seams making it inoperable. We reached out to the manufacturer directly who replaced the item after sending some photos. The replacement tore within weeks. I ended up tossing it and never reached back out to the seller. This is a fantastic idea, it’s perfect for a sensory seeking child but that quality is terrible. I will say that this doesn’t speak for the rest of their products but I won’t be purchasing again.

Great quality at half the price of online theropy store's the only problem was the pump has an American plug not suitable for Australia

Most awesome product with money back guarantee. The first one I ordered, the seam split after a few days. No hassle, quick replacement which has held up. Kids love it. Excellent addition to our sensory room at school.

I bought this product but didnot work for me. Amazon didnot have a return policy,but upon contacting with Harkla,they sent me shipping label and assisted in returning. The entire return process went smooth and hassle free.

Heads up. It arrived with a hole in the Harkla, when I requested a return, I was told to look for a shipping provider myself and would only be reimbursed a small amount of the shipping fee. Just disappointing.

This took forever to inflate solo. Definitely would recommend two sets of hands and a lot of patience. After I finally got it inflated, it was loved for a total of 10 minutes before it popped. It was a total let down and definitely not worth the effort, which is disappointing as I had high hopes.
