Gentle ankle and wrist weights designed with pediatric therapists to support proprioception, motor development, and sensory integration — from first tummy time to first steps. Because every baby deserves to feel like a champion.
The Science
Pediatric research shows that subtle proprioceptive input helps developing nervous systems build body awareness, coordination, and sensory regulation.
Gentle weight on joints sends rich sensory signals that help babies understand where their body is in space — the foundation of all coordinated movement.
Calibrated resistance strengthens the muscles babies use for rolling, crawling, and those incredible first steps — without straining delicate joints.
Deep pressure from wearable weights has a calming effect on the nervous system, helping with self-regulation and focused attention during play.

Real Results
"Our OT recommended Chad The Baby weights for our daughter's low tone. Within two weeks of tummy time with the Tiny Tots, she was pushing up so much stronger. These are now part of our daily routine."
"I've been using Chad The Baby weights in my pediatric practice for proprioceptive input with my sensory kiddos. The quality is outstanding, the weights are perfectly calibrated, and the kids actually want to wear them."
"My son was a late crawler and our PT suggested gentle ankle weights. The Little Movers were perfect — he loves the fox design and within a month he was crawling with so much more confidence."
Questions?
Absolutely. Every Chad The Baby product is third-party tested and CPSIA compliant. Our weights use medical-grade silicone beads sealed in double-stitched, organic cotton shells. They're free from BPA, phthalates, lead, and all harmful chemicals. The weights are calibrated to be effective yet gentle — never exceeding safe-load guidelines for developing joints.
We recommend 15–30 minute sessions during supervised play, tummy time, or therapy exercises. Start with 10 minutes and gradually increase as your baby gets comfortable. Always remove them during sleep, car seat use, and unsupervised time.
Our Tiny Tots and Mighty Minis lines are designed for babies as young as 6 months. However, we always recommend checking with your pediatrician or therapist first, especially for babies with specific medical conditions.
All Chad The Baby weights are machine washable! Use a gentle cycle with cold water and mild detergent. Air dry or tumble dry on low. The silicone beads maintain their weight and shape wash after wash.
Yes! Chad The Baby weights were co-developed with pediatric occupational therapists and physical therapists. They're used in clinics across the country for proprioceptive input, sensory integration therapy, and motor development programs. Many of our customers are referred by their child's therapist.
