Kids and Baby's safety is paramount. For bean bag furniture, Safety Locking Zippers (preferably premium YKK quality) should be a WORLDWIDE standard. Unfortunately at the moment is it not. We're proud to say Australia leads the way in this safety standard - and it's essential all retailers comply. We worry that some "backyard style" Australian bean bag manufacturers are not taking due care of this very important feature. Buyer beware. Please buy quality - and if in doubt - check & return your goods.

There have been some cases internationally where children have been able to access the beads inside a bean bag where Safety Locking zips have not been manufactured. Make no mistake this is dangerous to kids if inhaled or swallowed. Ambient Lounge only use Japanese designed YKK safety locking zips which are the highest quality known. We value your kids safety and it's a small price to pay for peace of mind.

It's not even an issue for backyard suppier of bean bags. Non-specialists in beanbags are also prone to make a mistake when it comes to this specific safety standard. Recently, even a large company such as Muji Australia imported bean bags without safety locking zips. Muji were consequently issued a madate to recall all of those bean bags by the Australian govenment. If you are worried you have purchased one - read how Muji Australia Recalls Bean Bags without Safety Locking Zips here.

Using a zip-and-tip filling system like the patented Funnelweb system can also prevent beans spilling when cleaning and filling your cover. 

Be safe, be knowledgeable and enjoy the comforts of premium bean bags.
