Worst product, do NOT buy
I received 2 faulty items wherein the zipper handle was missing rendering the beanbag useless. I contacted the company several times over the past 3 weeks with no response. I will be reporting them to the ACCC as they have a legal obligation to deal with faulty items. Do NOT purchase their products, they are rubbish.
Purchased in September 2021 for $150.

I really wish I could like this....
Got the Chibebe bean bag as a gift from my best friend. I was really excited to use it on my 4 week old baby because she was regurgitating unless she was kept upright.
Unfortunately she keeps slipping down in the bag despite spending ages trying to get the beans right and her neck ends up on awkward angles. Also, I’m really upset that she has regurgitated every time I’ve tried to set her down in this. I’ve gone back to propping her up with pillows to try and stop it from happening. Happy that I didn’t pay for this but disappointed for my friend because this was expensive for her!
Waste of space and not useful after the first few weeks of newborn time.
Got gifted two of these for my twins. We used it for a couple of weeks but they were never sitting quite right in it despite lots of bean adjustments. I intermittently tried them for my 7 month old twins and the babies hate it. I have many types of rockers and bouncer in different rooms for the twins and they prefer other ones. It’s a bulky product which takes up too much space. Much better off getting a plain veebee type bouncer for a fraction of the price.
Purchased in January 2020.
I can't stop raving about this!
My bub has severe reflux and we just weren't getting any sleep. At all. We tried everything there was and he just wouldn't settle, which meant we couldn't either. I would cry for no reason, and it wasn't from anything except sheer exhaustion. I wondered what i was doing wrong, and blaming myself. Turns out, the only thing i did wrong was not have a snuggle pod around!
It's such a cute and well presented product that at first i thought it was just a gimmick, but after spending hundreds (thousands?) on other products to help with bubs reflux, tu...

Good once you get the beans right
I purchased this pod as my daughter (4mths) suffers from mild reflux and vomiting after feeds. She also prefers to be sitting up more rather than being flat on her back. This pod was great once i got the beans right! At first i had too many in it and she was rolling off it, then i had not enough and it was swallowing her, but once i got the fill right, and positioned her in it with beans behind her head she loved it! I would put an activity gym with dingle dangles on it over her and she will happily play! She does start to slide sideways so i do have to keep an eye on her.
This pod will be great when shes older and it can be "her" chair when in the lounge room.

Amazing product!
I bought a a chibebe snuggle pod and rocker for my son 2 years ago. It was the best thing for day sleeps- I'd put him in it after a feed and he would sleep so happily. He is now 2 and we use the toddler seat attachment as he still loves his pod and watches tv/reads books in it. I bought a second one for my newborn son and he is loving it as much as his big brother.

Amazing product, did not disappoint
We recently got a snuggle pod for our six month old. The only regret I have is that we didn't get it sooner!! I love laying him in it while we play and read stories. He always looks so comfy and I'm guilty of actually sitting on it myself to test out the comfort ☺️ It passed the test!
I love that it is a useful chair now and will be usable as he grows bigger. I have noticed in dramatic improvement in the flat spot on his head since using the snuggle pod.
All of my girlfriends to have babies pop them in the snuggle pod when they come over and I am yet to meet one that doesn't like it.

Life saver for a grumpy baby and stressed mummy!
Wish I'd had a Chibebe snuggle pod sooner! My little girl is now 7 months old and has been struggling with day time sleeps, a lot of pain from wind, teething and generally...grumpy. Since having the snuggle pod, my little one has been snuggling in for a nap (with cuddles too of course!), but, what's so different? The pod is on an incline so her tummy pain isn't as bad, the angle is helping with her silent reflux and she generally seems more settled. (Just be sure to not overfill or underfill your pod. Yes, it's filled with styrofoam beans but t...
Read morehe beans are very safely sealed in their own bag with more layers zipped (no tag on the zip for safety) over the bag so there's no safety fears). During those testing hours late afternoon while I'm trying to organise her dinner, our dinner, fold washing etc, she happy sits and plays in her snuggle pod right next to me. She's at that age where I'm not allowed to be out of her sight but with the snuggle pod being so light, it's easy to just pick up and pop it down wherever suits. I've also given it a test run at friends places and grandmas...pop it in the car and off you go. It's been such a lifesaver lately and I'm excited to have the pod grow with her and become a part of her reading corner with the toddler seat too (she's currently using the infant top which has a safe and comfy 'seat' - can be zipped off for easy washing) to keep her from sliding about. Cannot recommend this enough...I'll be ordering one for any friends or family having a baby! Very keen to buy the rocker frame to turn the pod into a rocker...just need a toy bar to attach to the rocker then. Honestly, two thumbs up!!This generation's bouncer!
After suffering through tummy time with a child that either perks or screams, it was great to find a product that allows baby to rest on her back and alleviate the pressure on the back of her head. Great product, easy to assemble and will grow with her too! thank you

Love it!!
I got given a Chibebe Snuggle Pod to review, I honestly love it! So does my baby girl, she would love to sleep in my arms but lately I've been putting her in her snuggle pod and it's a lifesaver! I'm so glad I got given the opportunity to try one! It also helps with my daughters floppy windpipe (breathing) I've never seen anything like this before and my parents wished they were around when they me, haha. Overall excellent product am very pleased.

Well made and versatile
I was given a Chibebe Snuggle Pod to review and loved it so much I got another one to leave at the grandparents' house. It's perfect for popping my six-month-old down in for a few minutes without worrying that he'll slide or roll off, and for even longer periods when he's just chilling. The best things about it are: it's lightweight so you can move it around the house with you; it's very well made with high quality materials, strong stitching and sturdy zippers; you can mould it to your baby's shape for maximum comfort; and you can use it well past babyhood. My son seems to love it too – when he gets sick of tummy time and starts complaining, I put him in it and he'll happily sit there chewing on his toys.

Best item we have purchased for our Baby Girl
A friend recommended Chibebe to us as their baby girl was so content when on her Slumber Pod. We immediately ordered ours as our cutie pie would only settle when held. As soon as she lay on it for the first time, she immediately settled and now is hardly ever off of it. We take it everywhere we go and have got another one for Gran and Grandads house! Best $$$ spent in our baby purchases BY FAR!

Lifesaver!
My three-month-old hated not being in my arms, I tried multiple swings and bouncers that he hated. The Chibebe is the only thing he would sit in for periods longer than 10 minutes, it helped with his reflux and it's a bonus that it prevents flat heads. I would 100% recommend every parent of babies to have one, well worth the money! It's also great that it easily moves from room to room while he is in it.

Highly recommend the Chibebe Snuggle pod
I purchased the pink chirpy baby beanbag when my daughter was born and i absolutely love it. So easy to use, you can take it absolutely anywhere. In fact i did! I even took it down to the creche at the gym when she was really little, the staff loved it!! That way i new that she would be safe and comfortable while i was away. I have just purchased the Serendipity Polka Baby Beanbag in cream for a friend who is due in September, the bonus toddler seat was included which is great! I have since purchased the toddler seat so i have been able to convert my existing baby bean bag to the toddler bean which was so easy to do, plus it looks great the family room. Highly recommend the Chibebe bean bags, the most useful baby item i purchased.

Questions & Answers
Hi I am considering purchasing a baby bean bag for my grandchild expected soon I am looking at several companies trying to decide on the safest product. I have heard both positive & negative comments. My question is what is recommended age of the baby . I have heard they have a tendency to tip over.
Regards Lavina Staader
Hi! Chibebe Snuggle Pods are laboratory tested for use from newborn (birth). What we always try to explain to the buyer is....imagine you were in an overfilled beanbag, and had to get off...you would...
Read more just roll yourself over to get off.....but if it were an inclined bag, that is when you see the user asking for a hand to help them get off, as they are so comfy and seated in an upright position, that is impossible for them to simply roll themselves out! Same idea with all beanbags....we have a handy diagram on our facebook page with the correct way to fill our Snuggle Pods, so that Bub gets the best experience possible from it. We are know for having the safest, most comfy baby beanbags in the world! Hope this helps!Hello!
I found the construction of the bag is extremely sturdy, I never had any concerns of it tipping over. We are still using ours now and started when our daughter was born.
Thank you

Awww we're sorry to hear this RedPenVandal! The bean bag is designed to be shuffled so that you can achieve the perfect angled position, as you can imagine doing so with an adult beanbag, but better, ...
Read moreas the shape is better designed for this, so we'd love you to send some pics to us (enquiries@chibebe.com.au) so we can see if we can help. And we've never heard of your other mentions, and in fact, the Pod is designed to help prevent these things, and is exactly what we're credited worldwide for, as you can see on our reviews page and instagram feed etc. It's even recommended by Coping with Laryngomalacia in the USA for helping LM Bubs sit better to breathe easier, so we're obviously doing something right ;) Having said that, all babies are different, and we can't think of a single company who can please absolutely everyone, but we work day & night to try to do just that. We know this was a gift, and we'd love to see how we can help, so send us a line with some pics and we'll see what the dealio is :) Chibebe xo
