Item is as described
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.

Unconventional Use - but works great for my 70lb dog!
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!

Worth the money for us
This has helped soooo much We tried the blankets and they didn’t help my daughter sleep She’s autistic and she needs the weight In OT they recommended a smaller size so this is the one we went with She just lays it on her torso and sleeps the entire night she used to wake up like clock work at 3am for so many years It’s soft the weight is perfect for her she’s almost 8

Great quality, perfect size for children!
This is great for my 9yo autistic son when he’s dysregulated… he’ll go sit in a quiet space with this lap pad and just rub his hands on the bumpy side to help regulate. It’s great quality too!

Great for all children. Not just for SPD and ASD.
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

Great product.
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.

My daughter decided to try a lap blanket first to see if he liked it before spending on a full blanket
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!

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. 💙
