Kids Beanbag Chairs For Sitting And Storing Stuffies & Sh*t

If you’re climbing the walls at home and your kids are climbing on, well, everything, then this is the perfect time to start shopping around for bean bag chairs they can use (and abuse). The best bean bags for kids are a mix of fun and function, the kind of cushion they can toss around and get excited to plop down on or jump on top of— instead of your couch, bed, or home office furniture (why do they have to LOVE your bungee chair so much?).

Bean bag chairs for kids are easy to move around and offer a comfy nesting spot for them to watch TV, read a book, play educational games on the tablet, and even have a rest. The littles can drag them from the bedroom to the playroom to the living room for family time without you having to worry they’ll rip the couch or smush your throw pillows. What’s better than that?

Not all bean bag chairs look like discards from the set of That 70s Show, either. The shoppable options run the gamut in terms of fabrication, function, filling, and overall style. Many even double as toy storage these days–what a time to be alive! Whether you’re looking for something fun and themed to coordinate with your child’s bedroom, like a furry unicorn, or a knitted pouf that can do double duty as both a grown-up decor piece and kid cushion, we’ve rounded up some of the best bean bags for kids available online.

One Reviewer Says: “My wife bought this in an attempt to help clean up my daughter’s stuffed animal herd. It seems that no matter how many beanie babies, unicorns, stuffed bears, puppy dogs, or monkeys that I stuff in this thing, there is still room for more! This product is constructed with a canvas-type material that seems to be holding up well to multiple jump sessions, puppet shows, and multiple Dr. Seuss book sessions.”

One Reviewer Says: “I’m strongly considering purchasing another one of these because my kids have a plethora of stuffed animals that won’t go away. This is a good storage option.

One Reviewer Says: “This is awesome! I have filled it with extra blankets and pillows. I kept going to get more as it holds a lot! It is pretty big so by the time I finished filling it I can hardly move it around. It has a good handle attached though which makes pulling it around the floor easy. The cover is a nice heavy fabric that seems like it will hold up well”

Can stuffing a cute unicorn chair actually motivate your kiddos to clean up their rooms? Maybe.

One Reviewer Says: “My toddler has SO many stuffed animals that I have no place to keep. I bought this item and the day it came, loaded it up with all of her soft/plush stuffies. She loves sitting on it like a beanbag chair. Her favorite thing to do is get a running start and then fling herself into it. Cracks herself up!”
