Owner Reviews, Ratings, Comments and Criticism
This is a pretty simple vest with a couple flaws. First, the snaps do not stay on, I had to put velcro in the front to keep the vest from popping open. Secondly, the shoulders are too wide and it puts the weight right on the sensitive joint. Finally, the vest doesn't wrap around the child to ensure comfort. There are velcro closures for each side but they are too narrow to really wrap around a child. I thought the weights were a little too short and thick as well.
We wanted this to calm my 4 year old son, who stims at times and has a bit of hyperactivity. It did calm him down some, but it was just uncomfortable. I wish we had purchased a bit more expensive model offered elsewhere.
