Thomas the Tank Engine inflatable chair

Once he learned to walk, Little Man suddenly seemed to be lacking a place to sit! He’d run around the room and wear himself out and then suddenly plonk himself down onto the ground. Or he’d try to clamber up on the couch but it’s a little too big for him just yet.

We took Little Man to Smyths one day and tried out several chairs for him, but the kids chairs all seem to be for bigger toddlers. Little Man’s feet couldn’t reach the ground, and we felt they were too big to be safe for him.

Then one day hubbie spotted the Thomas the Tank Engine inflatable chair, and picked it up. As soon as we blew it up, Little Man loved it. Straight away he went over and sat down on it. Because it’s inflatable, it’s bouncy, so he can rock himself backwards and forwards on it.

So now when he’s finished running around and wants to sit down for a minute he goes straight over to his chair, stands in front of it, and then plops himself backwards into the chair. It’s very cute! I think we love watching him in it as much as he loves sitting in it. 🙂
