Choking
-
The main potential bean bag chair danger is choking. Bean bag chairs contain small beads, and children or pets are at risk if the chair breaks, or if they open the zipper. Even if you have children or pets you can still own a bean bag chair -- just follow special precautions. You could sew the zipper on the bag shut, remove the zipper pull and use a paper clip when you need to open it. You could purchase bean bag chairs with a safety lock on the zipper, or you could monitor the use of the bean bag when your kids or pets are around it.
Suffocation
-
Another bean bag chair risk is suffocation. If your child or pet crawls inside the bean bag, the contents inside or the possibility of being trapped inside could cause suffocation. If the bean bag chair is too large, the child could also get smothered by the bean bag. This is why you should never put a baby on a bean bag.
Chair Size
-
Those huge bean bags the size of your bed that you find at the mall may seem incredibly comfortable, but there is a chance that your kids could play on it and easily slide off if the bean bag is too big. It is far easier to slide off of a bean bag than it is a normal bed or chair. This doesn't mean you have to avoid large bean bags, but if you do decide to purchase one, make sure they are placed away from corners, furniture or hazardous objects.
Fire Safety
-
Bean bag chairs could become a fire hazard if you place them near heaters or fireplaces.
