- Red Weighted Compression Vest for Kids & Adults - Calming Weighted Vest for Kids with Sensory Issues - Compression & Kids Weighted Vest - Toddlers, Kids, Teens & Adult Sizes

Like a big, wearable hug, the Fun and Function Red Weighted Compression Vest encourages the big trifecta of calm, focus, and concentration for learning! And it looks weigh-cool, too. Made for kids and adults, the deep pressure and balanced weight are gentle, calming and reassuring. It provides steady proprioceptive feedback for those with sensory processing disorders, or hyperactivity.

Supporting those with sensory integration disorder, this vest is easy to put on, take off and adjust. Easy-on, hook-and-loop closures on the sides and shoulders make size adjustment a snap. Weights are placed safely in the inside pockets and can be easily added, removed and adjusted as you'd like. Each size includes two .5-pound weights and four .25-pound weights for a total of two pounds.

There's a soft neoprene shell for comfort (think deep-sea divers), air-conditioned mesh sides to allow air to circulate for breathability, and pockets to place adjustable weights. The vest is available in four convenient sizes – small, medium, large and x-large sizes. Weights should be gradually adjusted, very carefully, for each individual’s needs. The standard weight to use is 5% of total body weight, and the total should never exceed 10-15% of total body weight.

Fun and Function was born out of a desire for change. That frustration was channeled and turned it into a passion for creating the best sensory toys and tools on the planet to improve the lives of kids with special needs. We truly care about your children and their needs. As part of our commitment to earn and maintain your trust, each product is thoughtfully and carefully designed with regard to your children’s safety and physical well-being.

Aviva Weiss is the co-founder and CEO of Fun and Function – the award-winning company dedicated to realizing each child's fullest potential. Frustrated with the lack of kid-friendly sensory tools that would fit their family’s needs, Aviva and her husband Haskel decided to create their own to help every family. They work with a team of therapists, educators and artists to design the company's innovative toys, games, clothing and therapy equipment to build skills and self-esteem for children of every ability. Each product is kid-friendly, affordable – and most importantly – makes a real developmental and therapeutic difference in the lives of children.

Product safety is our priority at Fun and Function. We work with factories we have personally visited, meet with their owners and, in many cases, have met their family and children. We value each supplier and work closely to insure best business standards while teaching them about the children we serve.

We are committed to the highest standards in design and functionality of each product and research each item with care and thoughtfulness each step of the way. Our staff is dedicated to reviewing new regulations in product safety in order to bring you the unique and engaging tools for you and your child.

This item of clothing was designed to meet the various sensory needs of many children. Testing was performed on the item that included lead, lead in substrate (for zippers, buttons, snaps and other accessories), and sharp edges or physical hazards. Tests were also performed on the weights to insure they are safe and lead free.
