Hugg-a-Planet Hugg-A-Planet

We use this globe all the time! It is the perfect size to store on my bed, we use it as a pillow or to learn about world events! It is detailed and the colors are bright and vibrant and easy to find different locations. It has been fun for my kids to find where the hurricane is going to hit or where an earthquake happened. It was a great price for how much learning and family time it has encouraged. My kids love it and I love it!

Why did you pick this product vs others?: I bought one of these years ago. This one was similar, brightly colored and well made except that it was not as full of stuffing as I think it should have been. Kids love them, though.

This has become our "go to" gift for new baby parents that we know. Soft, safe and interesting all at once - the Hugg-A-Planet is cherished for years by both giver and receiver!

My baby is 6 months old and loves this globe pillow. It helps her keep her balance while practicing independent sitting and loves to be rocked on top of it. It came exactly as advertised and I was surprised it how up to date it was (it had Sudan and South Sudan as separate countries)

The countries on the seams don't match up. It's also not stuffed to even make a sphere. For $35, it's a very disappointing product. Just because this was on the international space station doesn't mean it's worth $35. And it's a shame you call this an educational product because the Yukon is almost completely missing! If kids used this as a map, they'd have no idea where the borders are. The problems are all in the design. You need to use *spherical* dimensions. The distance from point A and to point B on a globe is NOT the same as the distance from point A to point B on a flat surface like a map. Two, you need to add an extra 1/4" on each side where the Velcro is. This way no distance is taken away from the countries that touch this area. Three, you need to add 3/8" on each side of every seam for the same reason. And for God's sake, make the countries line up!
