Even though Wiwiurka and Sprout Kids are both making a very similar product both in design and function, they have different recommended ages for use. As you can see below, the Sprouts Kids triangle has a much older upper age limit than the Wiwiurka because of the ability to hold more weight.

Medium: 1-5 years
Large: 2-7 years
Infant to 10 years.
