**Please note: We do not recommend the use of weighted sensory toys for children under two years of age due to the risk of SIDS.

Consider the Weight: One of the key factors to consider when choosing a weighted toy is the appropriate weight for your child. The weight of the toy should be a percentage of your child’s body weight. As a general guideline, a weighted toy should be around 10% of their body weight. For example, if your child weighs 20 kilograms, a 2-kilogram weighted toy would be suitable.

It is important not to choose a toy that is too heavy, as it may cause discomfort or strain on their muscles. On the other hand, a toy that is too light may not provide the desired calming effect. Finding the right balance is essential.
