Toddlers can use it with supervision and a soft landing on the stairway in our house. Easy to put on stairs, bed, or couch — my kids slide everywhere in the house! You can make it as big as you'd like. When put all together and steep it does go really fast, so be cautious.
It's very strong and durable! It’s easy to collapse and put away onto itself in a corner or out of sight. Takes five seconds to put back up. No damage has been done to furniture or stairs.
It has tired the kids out and also made them laugh so hard! All three take turns over and over again. We love it." — Jess Get it from Amazon for $264.

You can also use it with candles and wax melts. If you hate how expensive candles are (same!) you can save money buy using this to warm the wax, which releases the scent but doesn't deplete the candle. Also, no fire = no fire hazard.
The paws can be used to hold your phone, but I would recommend using that feature only when the mug warmer is cool and not in use.

Reviewers note that the bow can be removed if your pet doesn't like it. Promising review: "It’s soo pretty! Was worried about the bow potentially falling off, so I added a couple of drops of super glue as a reinforcement. Other than that, this is classy and high quality!

Doesn’t feel flimsy at all!" — Aly Get it from Amazon for $6.99+ (available in sizes S–XL and four colors). 21.
