Around the house - Day 2

Nurse Mommy




We have a dog, a big 70 pound black boxer to be exact. My sweet dog Kobe unfortunately sheds alot. It makes me CRAZY! Therefore I am not a huge fan of when Tay lays on the carpet to watch TV. The thought of dog hair on her makes mr cringe. When we received The Tuffet from Made By a Mom I was extremely thrilled. Finally a confortable place, free of dog hair where Tay can relax and enjoy her 20 minutes of Yo Gabba Gabba.

The Tuffet is a large round floor cushion filled with foam beads. It then has a cover which has 2 handles along with 2 pockets where you can store small toys, wipes or little odds and ends. This innovative product was created by Wendy Evegan. After she had her first son she noticed that she frequently surrounded him with pillows so he wouldn’t topple over and get hurt. Over time Wendy and many other moms have discovered how universal The Tuffet is. It can be used as a device to safely help your child learn to sit up, a spot for toddlers and older children to relax and watch TV or read a book. Lots of dads even like to use The Tuffet to play video games (mine included).

THE REVIEW

Wendy had sent over the small microsuede tuffet in moss passion. I am in love with the color. It's perfect for a little girl or a little boy. I was a bit surprised at how full the Tuffet is. I was actually expecting the filler to be a little less full. We have a chair for Taylor that had a stuffed liner with the foam beads. It was not filled all the way and about a week after we got it the liner burst. Now all I can do is spot clean it. Since we got the Tuffet Tay has jumped and landed on it countless times and its still as perfect as when we got it. It just doesn't have that "give" that her stuffed chair had, which I think will give it a nice LONG life. The handles on The Tuffet have also came in very handy since Tay likes to drag it all over the house. She also gets a kick out of the small pockets that are on the front of The Tuffet. She likes to "hide" her binky there or a book and small toys. I think it will be great for some day when we have another child and I can store wipes and diapers in the pockets. That will be very convienent. My husband likes to play video games in the evenings and since we got it The Tuffet is his new seat. He said it's alot more comfortable then the floor. Well, dear husband, you are sitting on 5 inches of foam beads!



The Tuffet comes in 4 different fabrics and many different designs. The larger size Tuffet is absolutely perfect for family use. All kids will love to jump and play on it and its a perfect little seat if mom and dad want to get down on the floor as well. I would definetly reccomend this product for kids (and parents!) of all ages. So far it has been great for us and will continue to do so once we decide to add to our family.

I need one of these at our house. It would be perfect for movie nights when everyone wants to sprawl out but we only have 2 couches!
