Abstract
A voluminous padded chair or cushion forms an all-encompassing supportive structure through a voluminous, substantially donut shaped configuration. The voluminous configuration includes a padding, inflation, or liquids in the chair, a back portion that supports the back, neck and head of an infant, and a pair of support arms. A front portion provides an anchor for tethering toys and a tray thereto. A base seat for sitting is effective for absorbing urine and soil. The voluminous configuration supports and enwraps parts of the user's body to minimize random movement and thus preventing user from sliding down onto their back from a seated position. The chair is sufficiently voluminous, so that the chair is prevented from overturning from an upright position, even when the chair rests on an uneven surface or is occupied by a user who is moving excessively.
