| brenda5008's Full Review: Blue's Clues Inflatable Thinking Chair |
My sister in law bought this inflatable music chair for my son under my advice for Christmas. My son loves Blue's Clue's like lots of 2 year olds and I knew he would love to have his very own thinking chair. When he got it he fell in love,he grunted impatiently while we inflated it and sat down in his chair before we could sit it in the floor. I was very happy to see him so pleased with his gift. This chair is attractive and looks quite similar to the real thing,my son had no problem making the connection.
For the next two weeks Ryan had to sit in "his" chair during his Blue's Clue's movies and whenever it just suited him.He truly enjoyed this chair until one day I began to understand why it was under ten dollars.
First Clue:It's not made of anything more than the same materials in a ten dollar air mattress.
Second Clue:The very quiet music coming from a watch battery in the arm of the chair.
And finally,our THIRD clue:It took merely two weeks of normal play to bust a hole.
We just figured out Blue's Clue's!
My son sat in his chair one day,which wasn't roughly handled at all,and all of the air just blew out and it deflated.
He brought it to me with the "Fix it,mommy!" look in those big blue eyes of his. Well,I could NOT figure out where the air was coming from. Now,only 3 weeks after Christmas,my son's favorite gift is hidden in his closet to keep from upsetting him.I WILL try to fix it because he loves it so dearly,but I don't know if I will be able to.
What this boils down to is that any Blue's Clue's fan will absolutely love this chair-BUT- after less than a month will you be able to look in your child's big eyes and tell them it's a PRETTY piece of JUNK?
I recommend that you save yourself and your child the grief,this would be a wonderful product if it wasn't so cheaply made,but,unfortuantely,it is.
