The shoulder pad and the lap pad, so you can find out which one a child prefers
Set of 2: the 0.78kg Calming Shoulder Pad (26 x 42cm) and the 1.36kg Calming Lap Pad (60 x 22cm). Both shaped as Patrick the Dog. Ages 3+. $153.90.
Children do not all want weight in the same place. Some settle with pressure across the shoulders; others cannot stand anything near their neck and want it on their lap. Buying both is how you find out which, without guessing first.
Two weights as well as two positions. 0.78kg on the shoulders, 1.36kg on the lap - so the set also covers a child who needs more input than the shoulder pad gives.
Two children at once, or one child through the day. Shoulder pad for the mat session, lap pad at the desk.
The price is the same either way. The set is $153.90; the shoulder pad ($71.50) plus the lap pad ($82.50) is $154.00. Ten cents. Buy the set for one invoice line, or the two items separately if you want them on different orders.
The safety part
The supplier says: use under adult supervision, and not intended for use during sleep.
No minimum body weight is published for either item. Weighted resources are normally matched to a child by an occupational therapist - if a child has a sensory plan, their OT should choose. And our own rule: the child must be able to remove it themselves.
