Hot Seat

Zid Zid Kids Mini Poofs

Papa Bear’s chair is too hard. Mama Bear’s chair is too soft. And, well, there was that unfortunate accident with Baby Bear’s chair.

So where’s a little tush supposed to sit?

Zid Zid Kids mini poofs are just the ticket. Inspired by designs from Morocco, they’re the perfect perches for children. Choose from a variety of colors and fabrics, like metallic leather, easy-wipe vinyl, or cotton flannel.

Talk about priority seating.
