Helps With
Our Most Popular Vest is Also Our Favorite
Our founder and occupational therapist Aviva couldn’t find a weighted compression vest for kids, so she designed her own. This vest was our first Fun and Function product and it’s still one of our top sellers. Kids, parents, teachers and therapists love this vest because it’s comfy, easy to use and and helps kids quickly calm and focus.
The vest is like a big wearable hug that provides steady proprioceptive input (body awareness) with deep pressure and balanced weight. The effect is so gentle, calming and reassuring, kids even ask to wear it.
- Lightning-fast to put on, take off and adjust by adding or removing weight
- For kids and adults on the autism spectrum and those with hyperactivity or sensory processing disorder
- Use it any time you need extra focus or to satisfy the wiggles
- Made by Fun and Function
- Includes weights (see details tab)
- Age 18 months - Adult
Getting Started
The xx-small vest includes 4 1/4 lb weights for a total of 1 lb of weight; all other sizes include two 1/2 lb. weights and four 1/4 lb. weights for a total of 2 lbs. of weights. Additional weights sold separately (see accessories tab). Adult supervision required.

He loves to wear it!
I wasn't sure if our son would be interested in this since he has never worn anything like this before but he loves it. It rides up a bit on the side because he's in the between stages of 2 sizes. Great quality and value.

Vest fits according to sizing chart.
Vest fits according to sizing chart. Works well for those with concussion suffering from vestibular issues. Gets your balance back and decreases nausea sympoms. Well worth the purchase.

Nice fit
A work in progress to figure out, fully, how this is going to work for us. Seems to be a good fit. I think it will be an adjustment period for us, but I think, ultimately, it is going to work well for our sensory needs.

X-Lg vest for ABA classroom
The student that this vest was purchased for has impeding levels of anxiety, often keeping him from being able to participate in group activities. It took a few very short trials with the vest on for this student to become comfortable wearing it, and today he was able to wear it for 10 minutes and participate in a group activity in the classroom during that time. Thank you!

This Vest has made a HUGE difference
This vest has helped my son in a BIG way!! It has helped him stay calm in situations where we would normally have to take him out to the car (grocery stores, restaurants, family functions). He knows what will calm him down and what won't...sometimes he asks for the vest and I am happy to have it on hand at any time he feels he needs it.

Great for Students!
We have introduced one of our students to wearing weighted compression vest during OT sessions. These vests provide deep touch and proprioceptive input that help to calm and organize the body. The goal for her when wearing the vest is to help with her restlessness and impulsivity. They have styles now that look more like typical clothing or can be worn underneath clothing so that she can continually get input throughout the day. Here is a great example.

Best Vest So Far
We have tried many different vests over the past 2 years and this one is by far the most comfortable, easy to wash and have nice little compartments to add weight or take some weight from the vest. Not only is it a weighted vest but compresses as well! I would suggest this vest to anyone who has a child with ADHD/SPD/ or ASD. The only suggestion I would make would be to extend the velcro in the back so that the child can have room to grow into the vest, as well as to limit the compression (if needed).

great product
I bought the weighted vest just a few weeks ago. I love the vest! The material is great for summer. The vest is very durable. The only thing I would change is adding a zipper in the front. I have range of motion issues so adjusting and getting the vest on takes some assistance. Overall, I love the product!

My son's OT got this for us for his SPD and it has been a life saver! it was the first part of his therapy we started and when i think about were he was then and were he is now about a year later it makes me want to cry (a good happy cry!) I do not know were we would be if it was not for this and any time some one asks about it i just love telling them our story!

Great product
As an pediatric occupational therapist I am always considering which company makes the best of a given product before recommending one to my clients. I appreciate that Fun and Function made this vest that can be worn both as a weighted vest and a compression vest. The child I use it on, loves it. It is comfortable and easily adjustable. Also, some companies require you to purchase the weights separately. This vest includes weights as well! TG

Used in Schools
I'm an OT in the schools and I purchased this to use with some of my kids. Great product. Only negative comment I have is I wish the weights were on the outside rather than the inside so it would make it more convenient for the students who benefit from both the weighted and compression but don't need to wear the weights all day. But overall, I highly recommend this brand and have been very pleased thus far with my purchase.

First impression of this item and this web site is very good! I ordered this two days ago and just got it today. I am very impressed with the quality of this product which you can't beat for the price. My daughter is 3 and very tall for her age. I got her the XSmall and it fits great and she can still grow into it. The vest has nice adjustable velcro at the shoulders and on the sides so you can adjust this as your child grows. We bought this because our daughter has PDD NOS with sensory deficit disorder. We were told to buy a weighted vest because it might help to calm her down when she gets overwhelmed and frustrated. She has been wearing it now for a couple of hours and she already seems calmer. I am very glad I made this purchase.

We have ordered one of these for our home and we also refered my son's school to this company and they have ordered several of these vests also. The vests are really well made and they are affordable which is the best part. They are not exactly like the really expensive ones I have seen previously that are ultra thick wet suit material. They thinner then that but still the wet suit material just not as thick as another vest I had previously borrowed from a therapy center. But that being said this vest is 50 bucks vs. 300 or whatever they charge, and this one is also weighted. My son LOVES this vest and the school was thrilled when they got the ones they had ordered. awesome product awesome price!

We ordered the large, but it probably will not fit the majority of our clients. When looking at the sizes, both the large and the XL fit the same size chest, but it did not fit some of the adults we tried it on; however, we do think it will be effective for the clients who are able to use it. It seems durable and well made, and we are grateful for that as safety is our top priority! Thank you for making these items affordable!

My son likes the compression of the vest; however, the vest is cumbersome to put on even with adult assistance. Also, it is much too long for my child, so it would help to have a longer strip of velcro on the shoulders to adjust for length.

I purchased this weighted compression vest at the recommendation of my 3yr old daughter's OT. The vest definitly helps her stay focused at mealtime and other times we need to help her stay calm. The vest iself is very well made and fits her great, with room to expand as she grows. The stitching of the velcro to the vest seems strong, and I am very satisfied with my purchase. For me it was money well spent.

This vest was amazing for my daughter. She loved the tightness it gave her and the weight. She knows her own sensory needs now and will put it on and calms down within a minute. We take it with us anywhere just in case she starts to get upset and needs the sensory input. It works everytime to calm her. This is so much easier to take with us than her weighted blanket.

This vest tends to run large. This is the second vest I have bought for my daughter and for her the compression/weighted combo works far better than just a weighted vest. I would love to see this vest with a zip front to allow my daughter to put it on without help, especially when she is at school.

Love this Vest!! My 7 year old son has ADHD, a head injury from a car accident and some sensory issues. He loves to wear it and told me it helps him get self-control:) The only con about it is that if you are not careful you can rip the fabric on the sides where the velcro is. The velcro is so sticky (thats a plus) that it is sometimes difficult to get off and if you pull to hard you will rip the fabric.

This product is very good for the price and the fact that is serves a dual purpose of the weight and the compression. My 2 1/2 autistic son loves it and even brings it over to me to have me put it on him. I notice a big difference while he has the vest on, he is so much more calm and focused. The vest is a little big without the weights in them. but once the weights are in it seems to fit more snug as it should.

As an occupational therapist, I choose this vest above all others. It is easy to clean and I use it for trials with kids before asking parents to purchase one. Because the Velcro closures are wide, it can be adjusted in size easily. I find that kids quickly forget they are wearing this, as it does not interfere with their movement and it is form-fitting.

Is a great idea. Can see how it could help. It seems that the sizes run a little large. Even though I measured his chest and put order in by the guidlines provided it is big on him. Also the shoulder straps are rubbing his neck. But this may be due to being too large.
