• What size vest should I choose?

  MEASURE FIRST! Choose the size with a vest circumference 2-4 inches smaller than the wearer’s body circumference. Vests are adjustable at the sides & shoulders, so measurements don’t need to correspond exactly. If a looser fit is preferred, size up.

• How much weight should I insert into the vest pockets?

  Around 5-10% of the wearer’s body weight is a common standard; never exceed 15%. Each vest comes with 2lb of weight included (the XXS comes with only 1lb). Additional Fun and Function Vest Weights are available on Amazon if needed.

• Is this vest really machine washable?

  Yes! Make sure to remove the weights from the inner pockets before washing. Then adhere all closures and wash on a gentle cold cycle. Hang to dry.

• How long can the vest be worn at one time?

  It’s best to consult with your child’s occupational therapist. However, a good rule of thumb is approximately 20-30 minutes of every hour.

• What’s the proper way to put on the vest?

  Attach the hook-and-loop closures at both shoulders and place the vest over child’s head. Secure one side at a time, adjusting tightness as needed. Finally, adjust the shoulder straps as needed. Please see our video for additional information.

Use with adult guidance. Never use to cover face or restrict child’s movement. User should be able to remove weighted clothing without help. Follow the age and weight guidelines stated on the product insert. Do not allow user to sleep with weighted clothing. Use weighted products with guidance from a therapist. Weights should be carefully and gradually adjusted for each person’s needs (10% of total body weight is a common standard. The total should never exceed 10-15% of total body weight regardless of the maximum weight eh vest can hold).
