Guest guest Posted October 12, 2007 Report Share Posted October 12, 2007 Hi everyone! I'd love to try a weighted vest for my son who will be 5 next month. I have no idea if he'll wear it....I have been on-line and haven't found one for under $100. Does anyone know where to get one for less? Thanks! ************************************** See what's new at http://www.aol.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 13, 2007 Report Share Posted October 13, 2007 Hi ... Sometimes the county has a service where they provide things like that for people with special needs like your son. Just do a search online for your county ) It may be under the MR/DD section. > > Hi everyone! > > I'd love to try a weighted vest for my son who will be 5 next month.

Guest guest Posted October 13, 2007 Report Share Posted October 13, 2007 Can you borrow one from the schools? Does he wear it at school? If so he may wear it at home. I'm sure you already tried Ebay but thought I'd throw it out there anyway. Good luck.

Guest guest Posted October 15, 2007 Report Share Posted October 15, 2007 I don't know if anyone has mentioned this, but sometimes hospitals will donate x-ray vests that are still safe, but past their prime. The other thing you can do (especially if you haven't used a weighted vest before) is make one. If you google weighted vest pattern you can find them, or you could just use a regular vest pattern & adjust the size to allow for filling. Then you can fill it with sand or beans (whatever weight you want it to be). Hope this helps. ~byb~ Beth Yoder-Balla Intake Coordinator Ext 3068 “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.” Luther King Jr., Letter from Birmingham Jail, April 16, 1963 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 9, 2008 Report Share Posted June 9, 2008 Hi Tara, You might want to try a backpack first.(alot cheaper!) I bought a backpack that was more s size when he was little and filled it with bottled water or canned goods. the rule of thumb is 10% of their body weight. It seemed heavy, but he responded REALLY well. When I saw how good it was working I had my mil sew a lining into a regular jean vest and inserted the weights myself. He is now 8 years old and I still use weights with him alot. hth Sandy [ ] Weighted Vest Hello, & nbsp; I'd like to try one with my daughter...she is 3 and tiny. Does anyone have any suggestions of places I can get a custom made one...all the ones I see online are too big for her. & nbsp; Thanks. & nbsp; Tara Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
