Staying regulated whilst sitting
May 15, 2026
I'd like to share my thoughts on Bouncyband Wiggle Feet versus cheaper balance pods (also often available cheaper in places like Aldi and Home Bargains). I've filmed a short video comparing them that you can watch by clicking here.
Both can help a child feel able to sit for a little longer either at school or at the dinner table at home. They offer tactile input and movement to feet which some children find helpful. If you are considering options to help your child cope with sitting for longer then you may also wish to watch my past videos on special seating options and resistance band. Final idea...recently I've seen someone using a waist trainer disc under their desk which is another fantastic and really cheap idea. It has tactile bumps for the feet if using without shoes and it allows the child to move their feet side to side.
Hope this is helpful.
