The Boundex Cuddle Box is a steel frame wrapped in foam and several layers of lycra. The overall impact of the Boundex Cuddle Box lies in the exceptional sensory motor experience it offers a child. In simple terms, the following support-to-development is observed as the child moves on the apparatus: Triggers the child's drive to explore and challenge gravity using the total body Elongation, activation, strengthening and grading core muscles of the body Develops strength and stability of the shoulders, arms and hands through grasp, weight bearing, and weight shifting Promotes 3 dimensional, refined movement of hands through expansion and gradation Develops strength and stability of the pelvis, knees and feet through weight bearing, expansion, weight shift, and gradation, which leads to 3 dimensional, refined movement Facilitates stability with mobility throughout the body (no fixing/holding or compensatory patterns) Vestibular, somatosensory integration is promoted with each action for improving balance and coordination Increases depth and variability of respiration/encourages vocalization The child's movement actively facilitates integration of primitive reflexes allowing the emergence of 3 dimensional motor patterns The child's movements develop controlled gradation of multiple muscle synergies, i.e. top/bottom, left/right, front/back, diagonal/rotational 130cm x 130cm x 86cm high frame with padded rails Quick release knobs allow the frame to be disassembled quickly and transported in its travel bag for on-the-go families to take the Boundex Cuddle Box everywhere Click here for more information on the benefits of lycra in therapy Please Note: Children must be supervised by an adult at all times when using the Boundex Cuddle Box. RECOMMENDED WEIGHT LIMIT: up to 45kg, but tends to be most therapeutic for children between 9-18kgLycra is a very soft and stretchy material and these are the properties that provide the Boundex with its signature feeling and experience which appeals to our younger users. A more hard wearing material wouldn't provide the same sensory feeling for the user. This is the reason we don't advise the Boundex to be used for large movements (instead, therapeutic movements like rocking and rolling). It's also the reason we advise against having any sharp object in their clothing (zips, buckles etc) as it might damage the material. Due to its soft nature, it can be easily damaged if it is punctured by an object or nails/ teeth or excessive loads due to jumping or bouncing intentionally or unintentionally.
