FAQS

WHAT SETS THE SHOOT BABY!™ OTTOMAN APART FROM OTHER BEANBAGS?

The SHOOT BABY!™ Ottoman Posing Beanbag is not only original, but is unique in it's design and functionality. Here are the keys point to note:

• The SHOOT BABY!™ Ottoman gives the photographer a large flat and SAFE surface area on which to pose newborns. It provides the perfect 'canvas' on which to create your art and gives you unrestricted creative control over posing (with and without rolled up towels, boppy pillows, etc).
• The SHOOT BABY!™ Ottoman Posing Beanbag features 2 anti-burst inner bags for the polystyrene beans. This serves a few purposes. It allows the photographer to adjust the firmness of the beanbag by having either one or both of the bags inserted. Because of the removable inner bags, the beanbag can also be 'taken apart' for easy transportation in smaller vehicles (for those on-location sessions!)
• The SHOOT BABY!™ Ottoman uses safety zippers for containment of the polystyrene beans. Polystyrene beans present a severe danger to children if swallowed or inhaled and safety zippers are actually required (by Law) for all products that contain polystyrene beans.
