Description
Sit on, hold tight, and spin
The Swivel Balance Chair is a low, spinning seat that sits close to the ground. Kids climb on, grip the chunky raised edge and send themselves turning, pushing off with their feet or shifting their weight to keep the spin going. The wide, non-slip base keeps it steady and stops it tipping, so all the movement stays safe and under their control.
Why people reach for it
Spinning is one of those movements kids simply crave, and this seat gives them a safe, self-powered way to get it. That whirl of motion helps busy kids let off steam, then settle and focus once the energy is out. It is a favourite at home, in playrooms and classrooms, and in therapy and sensory spaces, anywhere movement is part of learning and calming down.
How to use it
Place it on a flat, open surface with plenty of clear space around it. Sit on the seat, hold the raised edge, and push off with both feet or lean into the turn to start spinning. Feet down slows it back to a stop. Supervise younger children while they find their balance. Wipe clean with a damp cloth. It holds users up to 100kg.

Product FAQ
What is the swivel balance chair used for?
It is a low seat that kids spin themselves around on. The movement is great for letting off energy, then settling and focusing, and it helps build balance and coordination through play.
How does it spin?
The child sits on the seat, holds the raised edge, and pushes off with their feet or shifts their weight. It turns smoothly in both directions and slows to a stop when they put their feet down.
Is it safe? Will it tip over?
The wide, non-slip base keeps it stable and stops it tipping. As with any spinning play, use it on a flat surface with space around it and supervise younger children.
Who is it good for?
Kids who love to move and spin, from home to the classroom to therapy and sensory spaces. It holds up to 100kg, so bigger kids and teens can enjoy it too.
Where is the best place to use it?
Anywhere with a flat floor and clear space, like a bedroom, playroom, classroom or sensory room. Give it room so there is nothing to bump while spinning.
How do I clean it?
Wipe clean with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or soaking. It is a one-piece design, so there is nothing to assemble or replace.

Thank you so much for your review!
As the timer is mechanical, it needs to be wound past the 55 mark to recharge the bell.
Here is a link to a reel we created to show the process - https://sensoryassist.com.au/products/mechanical-timer

Great product, very sturdy and all my kids love it, it did take awhile to get here however, but once here it's a new favourite in this house, very well made product. Worth the money that's for sure.
I first tried it in a therapy session I didn’t know the weight would assist more but it did I then really wanted one for myself as that one was my therapists one.
I find everyone is different to what they find helpful. i bought two others but I didn’t find them as useful as the cube for myself. So im grateful i found this one and its pretty solid so it prob last a while as long as I dont loose it
Or another claim it!!
My daughter has overwhelming sensory issues when it comes to her head and hair; this brush is a life-changer for us! It does everything they promise. Much happy, very recommend.

Thanks for your feedback 😊 The Ear Defenders are adjustable and can be extended for a larger fit. We'll email you instructions on how to adjust them, which should give you a much more comfortable fit.
Very high quality and such a great product for helping the kids feel calm.
Very nice design and the fluffy side is nice and soft. Fits nicely in my work bag so i can use it at home and work every day
It works well with other wighted blankets too for some extra pressure where its needed
It is the most beautiful rug. Just as described. My only problem is I would have liked it to be delivered by a courier other than Australia post. As I have a lot of problems with the aus post courier.
