What is a weighted vest for kids?
A weighted vest for kids is specialized, wearable vest embedded with small metal weighs, distributed evenly throughout the vest. The weighted kids vests are adjustable in size and designed to fit the smaller torsos of children. Additionally, the vests are made of durable material and can typically be hand washed.

Weighted kids vests are designed to aid children with sensory processing disorders like autism spectrum disorder and ADHD. For example, the weight of the vest and compression provide kids with the feeling of a hug, also know as deep pressure stimulation.

Weighted vests are one way that children with autism, who often respond well to deep pressure, can receive the sensory input they need.

How do weighted vests help children?
Weighted and compression vests are designed to give kids that hugged sensation, without the trapped feeling some kids with autism can experience with a person-to-person hug.

Weighted kids vests and accessories can help your kids feel calm and secure, as well as manage anxiety and behavioral challenges like meltdowns and temper tantrums. Using weighted kids vests can also improve concentration on tasks and in school.
