Harkla Weighted Lap Pad for Kids (Brown)

I have several weighted blankets that I've used for a couple years. They are extremely soothing. They help me a TON with sleep - and with them, I can fall asleep and wake up many hours later in the same position rather than restlessly tossing and turning all night. SO....my senior golden retriever (13 years old; 70lbs) has a recurring wrist injury. Every time she re-injures it, it's really hard on her and causes her much distress. This spring she has injured it twice in 3 months! We can manage the pain for her and keep it immobilized while it heals, but for her, we can tell she gets really frustrated with each recurring injury (she can be quite dramatic, good thing we know her so well!). On a whim I purchased this blanket for her. She's only used it for 3 days so far, but she really (!) likes it! It keeps her still and resting so she can heal. It even helps when we apply ice bc she's not trying to get up and get the ice off! I can leave the room (usually she would try to follow me which is not good when trying to limit movement) and she is in such a deep slumber that she doesn't even notice I left for a few minutes. This seems to be a high quality blanket, perfect for a child, or for a large dog!

Received the weighted lap puppy today. Perfect size for my 7 year old. It was a bit more I than I wanted to pay but when you have a child with ADHD you are willing to try anything that may help. The weight is evenly distributed and it's very soft. The puppy has a cute smile on it. I'm hopeful the cuteness of it will entice him to keep it in his lap with him and the weighted aspect of it will help with his sensory seeking needs. It came in a zipper carrying bag for storage and transport. The outer cover can be removed by opening the Velcro strip that runs along the underside. The Velcro strip is well tucked in so it won't catch on clothing or scratch legs.

OT recommended a weighted blanket. My 4 year old has sensory sensitivities and this has been so helpful especially during night time. I ordered the lap pad because I wasnt sure if he would like it. It covers just his upper body and has helped him sleep. Tonight he asked if he could have a big blanket because his "legs need to be covered too". I just ordered the blanket and cant wait for it to get here because he will be so excited. We will start using the lap pad during the day and he will have his blanket at night. So thankful this worked because I havent slept well in weeks due to his sleep issues. The lap pad is really soft and comfortable. Most importantly the weight is perfect, 5lbs, and it brought comfort to my kiddo.

It is a quality lap pad. This is something my daughter has stared using to help her sit still in class. It does the job and it doesn't stand out as a distraction for the other kids. She likes the softness and the size which folds over her lap with room on either side. She is about 5ft.

I would give this toy five stars if it didn’t set off DHS at the airport! My daughter 2.5 y/o has sensory processing disorder and she absolutely adores this device. Don’t be thrown off by the shape - this dog feels like a real lapdog and has such a pleasant happy face. It helps keep her calm in stressful situations and in normal every day learning situations. She also likes it to relax with and to have near her when she’s going to sleep. Don’t be fooled — this thing is heavy. I think the inside ties that keep the beanbag in place can be improved but otherwise it’s a very well-crafted and well thought out design. I enjoy having the dog sit on my own lap as it brings a calming feeling. She is more likely to sit for her online classes if I let her keep the dog nearby or on her lap. I can see this being helpful for all children — those without sensory processing disorder or ASD. I can see this device being helpful for children who are victims of trauma. I can see this device being helpful for children who are a part of broken families and need to transition between homes. It’s wonderful for children who are beginning school for the first time in person or away from their families, those in need of a hug and a smile to help them through the day. I hope schools allow children to bring these as their ‘service animals’. I would recommend this to others by them as just for others and purchase this again

My 2 year old grandson is struggling with sensory issues and one of the things suggested was a weighted blanket to give him comfort. My daughter decided to try a lap blanket first to see if he liked it before spending on a full blanket. He LOVES it! As soon as he had it in his lap, he visibly relaxed and snuggled down. He likes to take it with him, which is another reason she decided to try that size first. They use it at bedtime right now and he is sleeping much better, and they plan to buy a full size blanket for him as well. Thank you for this fabulous product! It's colorful, the texture is very interesting for him to brush his hands over, and it's easy for traveling! I'm so very thankful there are quality products that actually work for children like my grandson that will help make his life happier! You have an outstanding product!

My students love the weighted lap blanket. It's cozy, just the right weight and size.

It’s been a great tool for me as I recover from surgery and needed some weighted pressure to help with stomach cramps…

He comprado en dos ocasiones este artículo, las dos veces y no pesa 5 libras, pesa 4.58 libras, la cara del peluche es diferente a las imágenes, no está tan bonito en la realidad

I use this weighted lap pad as part of my daily sensory regulation, and it has made a huge difference in helping me feel calm, grounded, and safe. I’m neurodivergent and rely on sensory tools like this for emotional balance, especially during overstimulation or transition times. The texture is soft and soothing, the weight is evenly distributed, and it’s the perfect size for across the lap, shoulders, or even curled up with during quiet time. It gives just the right amount of pressure without being overwhelming. If you or someone you love is autistic, ADHD, or sensory-sensitive, I deeply recommend this. It’s not just for kids—it’s for anyone who needs a gentle anchor in a busy world. 💙

I bought this for myself and I love it. It is very grounding and calming to wear this on my lap when I sit to read and relax in the evening, and I find it also helps the discomfort of my arthritic knees. It is very well made and I love the fabric it is made of, lovely soft texture and a beautiful deep blue colour. I checked out a lot of lap pads and this is the nicest one I saw. At 5 pounds, it is right for me as an adult and would be good for an older child or teen. It might be a bit too heavy for a young child (5 or younger). My granddaughter is 18 months and she has a 2-pound lap pad which is about the right weight for her.

Love that the product is soft and it fits directly on your lap , comes with a little carrying bag that is very convenient. Shipping was quick and the transaction was a breeze . Thank you .
