what are the interior beads made of? one of ours broke and the tiny black beads are all over the floor. want to be sure our crawling baby is safe.

the little tiny beads are plastic which is of course chemicals so perhaps a vacuum cleaner or a swiffer floor wipe with masking tape will get every bead up and away from baby's mouth.

There is a knot between each bead in case it does break. Then all the beads won't come loose for safety. I let my son sleep in his. It has never come undone.

Assuming you mean 9 month old? And it's big enough but I don't really recommend it for that age. (Or at all to be honest)It's really best for newborns. It lays pretty flat on the floor so if you put your 9 month old baby in it they'll just sit in it like you put them on a bean bag... But can easily roll over. We gave ours away by 6 months as we didn't use it for the baby...My 3year old loved it and pretended she was a turtle :) watch out for the seams though- I returned mine and the second one also split (and little styrofoam beads spilled everywhere) so I sewed the second one. I don't really recommend these seats period. Assuming you mean 9 month old? And it's big enough but I don't really recommend it for that age. (Or at all to be honest)It's really best for newborns.

It's made of some sort of fibrous material that is very flimsy. Works great for the mattress but take great care for the box springs. Don't use the enclosed protective pads if you do have the bed bugs. Turns out they love the glue on the pads, but the pads seem to come loose then stick to the protector. You can't pull it off without causing damage.

probably because most ty toys have little beads inside them that could be a choking hazard

I jiggled and wiggled it this AM and feel that a baby/toddler of 25lbs. and under would not probably be able to pull it over. There is a curved section on the lower level and it is not super strong, so if a baby pulled on that area, they might break it off, but not pull it over. I am presuming they are talking about a crawling child trying to pull itself up to standing. If they are talking about a child tall enough to pull on the scratching post part (it's wrapped in hemp rope or something similar); that area is about mid height and if they pulled from there, they might pull it over.

Not sure what the inside is made of but it feels like small beads and must not get wet.

I use the BlockTile in a small pool changing room. It is comfortable to walk on and the pieces snap together easily. It is made of hard plastic with perforations so water can leak through easily. My kids (ages 3 and 5) have no problem walking on ir. But I do not think it would be comfortable for a baby to crawl on it since the material itself is very hard.

I think it's most usable until they start trying to crawl. In our case, it is most usable from 0-7 months. Now our baby seems to want to be off the mat to practice moving around on the floor. Before that, we used this every single day, multiple times a day and even took it camping and used it outside. It has been one of our most used items. I'm hoping once he crawls, he will want to sit on it again.

It's all about how you handle it. Consider it a collectible, made from plastic and metal cast. If dropped on its head I could see it possibly breaking. I personally haven't had any issues. It's dropped once or twice and it works just the same as ever. I did have to return the first one I'd ordered because the tip wasn't glued sufficiently. If was loose and sort of rattled around on its base. Had I dropped that one on hardwood floor I could totally see it breaking. But that's why I returned it. Just inspect it well, handle with care and you'll be okay. &#9786;&#128522;&#128512;

We've used this in my daughters crib now for almost a year and haven't had an issue. But if it ever happened to me, I'd contact the manufacture. Most of the time, that seems to do the trick when it comes to that kind of stuff. Hope that helps.

Plastic - great product for my toddler - won't break when he drops on my tile floor. Sorry for late response.

Ours is long gone, but had the same problem. Have no answer, just keep putting it back on. I guess you can try to glue it. That thing was a life saver. Plop the kid in and you can get some things done. Both kids loved it, especially when starting to walk.

Just clear tiny plastic beads. You would have to use a fine screen or seive to wash them after litter box use. I can see them getting stuck in between paw pads, swallowed by the cat cleaning his feet, possibly causing a bowel obstruction within a hair ball

I dropped one on our Marmoleum floor this week and broke it in half. To be fair, these crayons have dropped and thrown several times on our hard floors and carpets so it was probably weak from the wear already.

Lol! I hadn't noticed but I feel like my baby was completely safe when she was smaller. She is 14 months now and I have been using it since she was 9 months about 3 days a week. She can climb out of it now and it tips so maybe that's why? Sorry I couldn't be more help.
