I purchased a Boppy pillow prior to purchasing this pillow from another website.After struggling with the boppy constantly sliding off my lap and feeling like I had to hold onto the pillow and the baby for dear life or they would both slide to the floor (I have a wiggly baby), I went looking for another pillow.I found this one and I have been fairly happy with it.It still slides around on my lap some, but there is more room so it is more secure and my baby seems to like it better.His head is more elevated and there is more room for him on the pillow to sprawl out.He often falls asleep on my lap on the pillow.I do have some complaints though.The fabric is very thin, allowing polyester fibers to creep through and the pillow sheds them all over his feet, hands and clothes.The fabric stains easily because it is so dark (much darker than it appears on the website--medium to dark denim colored) and surface washing doesn't get rid of the stains.The product description says "machine washable" but the product information that comes with the pillow recommends against it and says that the pillow won't hold it's shape if you machine wash it.The pillow hasn't held it's shape anyway because the pillows don't have very firm stuffing.The Boppy pillow I had was stuffed firmly.This one is very squishy, more like a cheap bed pillow.The top pillow is held on with a velcro strap so that you can flip it back and forth when you switch sides (a handy feature), but the strap is causing the bottom pillow to smash down in the center so the pillow has a tendency to "fold up" like a book, when the baby is on it.Also, because he is a wiggler, the top pillow tends to twist around the bottom pillow.I still much prefer it over the Boppy, but I wish there was a happy medium.I gave it four stars because I like it that much better than the Boppy, in spite of it's flaws.
