Blue Weighted Adjustable Compression Vest-Deep Pressure for Children age 2-10+
2-in-1 Weighted Compression Vest for Kids
Like a hug that goes wherever they do. This vest can be worn two ways—light as a calming compression vest with the weights removed, or as a weighted vest with discreet inside pockets that hold the included weights. Designed with secure Velcro side straps for a snug, tailored fit, it adjusts easily for comfort and quick removal.
Breathable mesh sides and stretchy neoprene keep kids cool and cozy, while evenly distributed weights provide soothing deep pressure. Perfect for children with autism or sensory processing needs, this vest helps calm the body, improve focus, and ease moments of overload.
Available in 3 sizes:
- Small (ages 2–4) – includes 2 lb weights
- Medium (ages 5–9) – includes 3 lb weights
- Large (ages 10+) – includes 3.5 lb weights
Measure for the best fit, adjust for comfort, and watch your child settle into calm with the vest that feels just like a hug.
Thanks for sharing those detailed guidelines! I’ll rework them into a catchy, parent-friendly tip sheet that feels clear, supportive, and easy to digest:
⭐ Tips for Using a Weighted Vest Safely & Effectively
There’s no harm in trying a weighted vest with your child who has ASD, especially with the guidance of an Occupational Therapist. Here are some simple tips to get the most out of this calming tool:
✅ Getting Started
* Start light! Slowly add weight over time. The vest should be no more than 5–10% of your child’s body weight (e.g., a 50 lb child should wear a max of 5 lbs).
* Spread the weight evenly. Weights should be distributed around the midsection in the vest’s inner pockets.
* Snug but comfy. The vest should feel like a hug — fitted, but not restrictive.
⏱️ Wearing Guidelines
* Short & sweet: Wear for no longer than 15 minutes at a time. After that, the body “gets used to it” and the effect fades.
* 2–3 sessions per day: Try one in the morning and one in the afternoon.
* The after-effect matters: Taking the vest off can be just as calming as putting it on!
🎯 Best Times to Use
* During activities that require focus and attention: schoolwork, crafts, mealtime, reading, family games.
*Not ideal for passive activities like watching TV or playing on a device.
🔄 Keep it Fresh
*Just like toys or other sensory tools, the vest may work wonders for a while and then lose its appeal. That’s normal! Reintroduce it later if needed.
✨ Remember: Always check with your child’s Occupational Therapist for personalised guidance.
