This has really helped my son. The quality is great and he wants to wear it, so it must be comfortable! Highly recommend if your little one is needing this for their sensory needs.

Used mainly when he is riding in the car. Does the job as needed.

My kid has sensory issues and loves to be snuggled and cuddled- but this best was not for them.He found it uncomfortable.. I let them try it over and over for a few days to hope they’d get used to it by that never happened so I finally sent back the best and got a refund.The weight is good- it’s very customizable with six little weights.

Good quality product. Wish there was weights higher up in the vest and that there was another option other than Velcro

Breathable and washable, it ensures a cozy fit that adapts to your child’s needs, making it a great choice for enhancing their comfort and focus. Works great when we go to the grocery store!

It fits very good, nice and adjustable VelcroMy son likes to wear it

My son is on the spectrum and his teacher texted me to thank me for getting him the vest.. she said it's making a big difference..

Aus Verzweiflung gekauft und hat leider nichts geholfen. Vielleicht funktioniert die Weste bei sehr empfindlichen Kindern die leicht von außen beeinflusst werden können, aber bei unserem Sohn hat es Null geholfen. Haben es sogar nochmal mit mehr Gewicht getestet und das hat auch keine Wirkung gezeigt. Und Preislich einfach Menga Teuer und irgendwie nicht gerechtfertigt. 4 Sterne bekommt sie trotzdem, da es bei vielen Kindern offensichtlich doch was hilft, nur bei unserem leider nicht. Schade

My son seeks deep pressure sensory stimulation, this is super easy to take on and off, the weight is appropriate for his age, the material is soft and the Velcro is strong! Highly recommend

I 100% recommend this vest! So much that I done a video for my nonprofit explaining their benefits. Harlan customer service has been amazing.

This ok for my 2 yr old but I feel needs a bit more weight for my 4 year old. Velcro shoulders and straps make ot easy to put on and take off.

I bought this vest for my daughter 4 years old , I ordered medium, size 5-9 years old for now is OK but I don't think it would fit for next year, materials is good, no complaints, but size doesn't seem right, I was expecting some more big for the size that I ordered.

Excelente muy bueno y muy cómodo mi bebe lo uso mucho

For reference:My son is 26 months old, but petite…he was a 26 weeker micropreemie. He is 23 lbs, 30” tall and wears 12m clothing. We bought the SMALL.Very adjustable and will fit for years to come!!!NO annoying tags or rough edges!NOT hot! Very breathable!My son has developmental delays and issues with sensory processing, emotional regulation, and overstimulation (common for a micropreemie that’s now a toddler). He also has a speech delay; he says 2 words - “dada” and “ba(ll)”. He is cognitively intact, going through a developmental spurt, experiencing change such as moving into a big boy bed, and has a lot to “say” but he can’t actually communicate beyond two words and two signs. Frustration can go from 0 to 100 FAST.He is not autistic. Maybe ADHD (he exhibits signs and is very high risk given his extreme prematurity but it is hard to tell this young).His developmental pediatrician at the NICU follow-up clinic first mentioned a vest to me. Then our OT said a compression vest might help with his focus. Then our PT suggested “weight work” or a weighted vest to help slow him down and provide sensory input.So I spent a night reading and researching, eventually deciding on the Harkla weighted compression vest.Wow. I notice an immediate difference. He can actually focus longer and doesn’t get frustrated as easily. He can self-regulate better.We wear it daily during focused developmental play, and often to his doctor appointments. We leave it on ~20-30 minutes at a time and limit use to an hour or less per day total.I have no basis or comparison but people who do have commented favorably.His speech therapist asked me to send her a link to it.His PT wanted to know the brand, and commented on how it was superior to some of her other patients’ vests… easier to put on, secure, easy weight adjustment options, very sturdy weight bags, and how he doesn’t get overheated at all (we live in Arizona, this is huge).His OT knew it the moment she saw it…”Harkla is the best, but not cheap.”His normal pediatrician commented on how he didn’t realize they made therapeutic ones that could fit a child of my son’s size (he may be 26 months but wears 12 month clothing and this is able to be fitted to him very securely).I am very pleased with the usability, helpfulness, and quality. My son tolerates it just fine. It seems costly for neoprene, Velcro, and mesh… but isn’t everything expensive now?

The weighted vest works great for my kid and it comes with learning resources on how to properly wear it.

No issues with the product but not with a good fit for my youngin.

This is a great product. I have recommended this to a few of my families for their kids. This is quality material and very comfortable for them to wear. The ability to change and manage the weights that slide and Velcro closed in the pockets is so easy to use. I highly recommend this to anyone who wants to help a child in regulating their emotions and assist in maintaining body control.

Estamos muy contentos de usarlo, esperamos nos de resultados con nuestro hijo

It’s a good quality, easy to adjust just I received the best size S but the box is size M. I ordered size M, confusing

Bought this vest for my son. It fits well and he finds it comfortable. The vest allows him to concentrate better on his school activities especially when he’s frustrated. Good quality item.

We measured my son before ordered and he measured for a small, he’s also only 3 years old. When we put it on him it looked like a crop top! Planning on ordering him a bigger size ! Not sure to go with large or medium though

Helps my 2 yr old grandson who has ataxia and unsteady gait and movement

After the issues with the sizes, this vest works great for my autistic grandson.

My kid with autism felt immediately at ease on wearing it. Super helpful, thanks so much for making this magic jacket of peace Harkla! Very impressed.

We found this brand 3 years ago. Started in the small size And now are in medium. The form of compression this vest gives fits my sons sensory needs. He prefers his compression on his shoulders and torso. The weight also very helpful. We started with just the vest then worked our up in weight gradually. The fit is nice and the dark navy color like nice also.

I bought this product for my child who has autism and my child was not able to utilize it much. She did not like the feel of it on her body. Material is good and strong though. It would have been nicer if this jacket could have a cotton cover.

It’s comfort and purpose are instantly apparent when the vest is worn.Worth every penny.

My child loves this vest!!! She is a sensory seeker so when she feels overwhelmed she puts on the vest and calms down. A real life changer for our family and her autism!

Works well most of the time. As long as the todler can tolerate 30-45 mins every session. I have observed she/he can complete a task that he could not do at least 3 minutes.
