It’s important that the blanket isn’t too heavy for your little one. That’s why we only recommend weighted blankets for children from age 3 (around 15 kg). From that age, children are usually strong enough to remove the blanket themselves, which is essential.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAt what age can my child use a weighted blanket?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThat varies by child and depends on their individual needs and development. In general, children can safely use our lightest weighted blanket, weighing 2.4 kg, from around age 3. Not sure?

Weighted blankets have a calming effect and help children feel safe and secure while sleeping. They can help reduce anxiety and promote a better night's sleep.

The gentle, even pressure feels like a long-lasting hug and can help with sensory processing, making it easier for your child to transition to sleep. Here too, choose the weight based on body weight, use the blanket under supervision, and observe the minimum age of 3 years (around 15 kg).
