Weighted Vest - X-Small, 0.9 kg
Soft and comfortable weighted vest, ideal for children's sensory integration therapy.
The weights are placed below your child’s centre of gravity in hidden pockets. They help create a sense of stability and comfort by stimulating proprioception and releasing the hormone oxytocin.
Please note: This vest is not suitable for strength training.Â
The sensation is more like a gentle, reassuring hug.
Size guide:
- This vest is size XS
- Waist: 61 cm
- Height: 30–41 cm
- Adjustable at the waist with Velcro
- The shoulder straps are not adjustable
- This vest fits children aged around 4–6, but we recommend choosing the size based on height and weight rather than age.
When choosing the right size for your child, be sure to measure carefully. The weights should sit below the belly button.Â
As a general rule for weighted products, the weight should not exceed 10% of your child’s body weight. However, vests are a bit different: a child weighing 15 kg may find a vest of just under 1 kg quite heavy, so we encourage you to keep this in mind when using a weighted vest for sensory integration.
How to use:
Weighted products should be used for around 15–20 minutes at a time. After that, the effect gradually decreases as the body gets used to the extra weight. After 20–30 minutes, the positive effects may no longer be noticeable.
What makes this product special
Toys for learning through play
Play is essential for children’s learning, well-being, and development. Through play, children learn about themselves and the world around them.
Play helps children:
• stay curious
• focus and become absorbed in what they're doing
• take on age-appropriate challenges
• build confidence
We believe children learn best by doing things for themselves:
• by making mistakes
• by getting messy
• by falling down and getting back up again
Resilience, confidence, and courage grow through experience, one small step at a time.
That's why we carefully choose toys that encourage independence, imagination, movement, and social skills — offering just the right balance of support, freedom, and opportunities to grow.
Carefully selected toys
We carefully handpick every toy from the vast world of toys available today. The only toys that make it into our range are ones we'd be happy to give our own children.
Every toy at ToyAcademy should:
• support learning through play
• be made from durable, high-quality materials
• be safe and enjoyable for children to play with
