Crash Bag Regulation Bundle

CRASH BAG DETAILS

• Designed with absolute safety in mind
• Made in Queensland with love and expertise
• Perfectly heavy and long-lasting (just pick it up and give it a shake to move the foam around)
• Best product of it's kind in Australia

We continuously improved our special design so that it:

• has HEAPS of hand-cut foam filling in different shapes and sizes and different foam densities (as recommended by Occupational Therapists) to create the perfect tool
• for both rough play, crawling play, and relaxing time
• most similar products on the market have shredded memory foam (which would be easier to produce than what we are doing) however they are designed for lounging and relaxing, and do not provide all of the important sensory input that our Crash Bags cater for (rough play and tumbling around etc.)
• also, as it's NOT filled with shredded memory foam, it won't go permanently hard and flat like most other similar products on the market
• has TWO layers of durable and machine washable bags
  1. INNER COTTON bag keeps the foam contained safely (adult needs to insert a paper clip to be able to undo the zip)
  2. OUTER PLUSH COVER (removable with velcro opening) is snuggly and also bumpy on one side for sensory input / stimming
• is not 'just a beanbag' - it's so much bigger, more versatile, and easier to wash!

CRASH BAG SPECS

• Includes Plush Cover, inner cotton bag, and lots of foam filling
• Dimensions Large - approximately 1.9m long x 1.3m wide x 0.5m high. This is our best seller as it's big enough to allow kids to run and crash onto their tummy with a full body crash, and allow multiple kids and adults to lounge on it together (to get an idea of how much space this will take up in the room... imagine a double bed mattress on floor).
• Dimensions Regular - approximately 1.3m long x 1.3m wide x 0.5m high. This is best for small homes or apartments (it's the same width as a Large, but a square rather than a rectangle).
• Water Protection Layer - add this in between the cotton inner layer and the plush cover to protect the contents from little accidents, spills, or pet mishaps. It is very soft but with a plastic coating on the inside (not noisy or crunchy).
• Production timeframe - 2 to 5 business days as our Crash Bags are made to order and in high demand.

Due to popular demand we have created this value bundle based on a very common trend we have seen, where our Crash Bag can be used for a 'sensory regulation' corner at home or school, when combined with the calming effects of a weighted blanket and a vibration cushion.  Perfect for a 'little super hero' to snuggle-in and take some time out to regulate themselves.

This bundle includes:

a Crash Bag (choose Regular or Large)

a Weighted Sensory Lap Blanket 2.5kg

a Vibration Cushion Combo with Plush Cover

Please note that we selected the Lap Blanket and Vibration Cushion cover that best match the Crash Bag, as per the product images on this page.

CRASH BAG

Our Crash Bags (others call it a Crash Pad, Crash Mat or Crash Bag) are ideal for a movement zone in your home or covered outdoor area, and popular for schools, day care centres, hospitals, libraries, churches and therapy clinics.

They provide a fun way for little super heroes to get their heavy work and deep pressure input needs met. They can be used for crashing into, rolling and crawling across, laying between two layers, or simply relaxing!

Our Crash Bags are a premium product, made with long-term durability and safety in mind.

Ideal for helping children and teens of all ages that:

• are constantly on the move
• need to be crashing into you, your furniture and flipping upside down, and need a safe place to do this
• seem to be needing more joint-compressing and vestibular movement than their peers in order to feel 'just right'

WEIGHTED SENSORY LAP BLANKET

Our Weighted Sensory Lap Blankets (2.5kg) provide huge benefits to children and teenagers that seek 'heavy work', like firm hugs, struggle to sit still for short periods or become overwhelmed in crowded places.

For those with traits of Autism, Sensory Processing Disorder, ADHD or Anxiety, our Weighted Lap Blankets provide the much needed deep touch pressure that their brains crave in order to feel 'just right', and remind the brain where the body is in space. They can also be used for heavy work. Both of these are key treatments for sensory defensiveness.

Sensory defensiveness involves over-reacting to a sensory experience like touch. Associated behaviours look like physical withdrawal, blocking the stimuli, vocal outbursts or aggressive behaviour... all coming from the primitive part of the brain that protects the person from what it incorrectly believes to be a life or death threat.

A weighted lap blanket is an important tool for incorporating opportunities for sensory regulation into everyday life... with the child benefiting from the cumulative effect of many little tools and many accommodations being made based on their individual needs:

• AT SCHOOL: Not only on their lap or shoulders for deep touch pressure (improving focus and calming the nervous system) but also carried around for "heavy work" when transiting between tasks or between areas of the classroom.
• AT APPOINTMENTS: A reassuring texture and deep touch pressure to ease anxiety plus improve concentration during therapy appointments.
• TRAVEL, OUTINGS or HOME: Reduce hyperactivity when they have to sit for a period of time (shopping trolley, homework or car rides) and aide in relaxation during quiet time at home, especially when falling asleep.

VIBRATION CUSHION with PLUSH COVER

Plush Cover
This is to go on your Vibration Cushion and is made of super snuggly plush material which is bumpy on one side for sensory input / stimming and smooth on the other.

Vibration Cushion
Our pressure activated Vibration Cushions emit a gentle vibration that helps the user's brain to feel safe by reminding it where the body is in space, and by flooding it with a lovely sensory input which calms the fight/flight response. They can really encourage the body to calm down and relax.

They can help with anxiety or sleeping difficulties, and the gentle vibration is also a great way to introduce vibration to children with sensory processing sensitivities as well.

Using a Vibration Cushion during times that require concentration on a task (by sitting or leaning on it) can also result in better focus and attention. It is often prescribed for those with learning difficulties, ADHD or children who seek movement and have trouble sitting calmly, with reports of more successful learning time at school, mat time, meal time, and longer rides in the car.

Ideal for helping those who:

• have trouble sitting calmly for a short time
• struggle with change in their day, or with big change in their life
• have symptoms of anxiety (eg. a child that clings to a parent and needs them within eyesight at all times)

CRASH BAG PLUSH COVER CARE TIPS:

1. Water protection layer and plush outer cover can be removed for washing
2. Wash with similar colors and use a cold machine wash. DO NOT use bleach.
3. Line dry in shade or use a cool airing setting on your dryer. DO NOT tumble dry with heat as this may damage the Velcro and plastic lining of the water protection layer.
4. Do not dry clean or iron.

CRASH BAG INTERIOR CARE TIPS:

1. We recommend giving your Crash Bag a big shake up every now and then as the foam will become settled and flat.
2. The size and shape of your Crash Bag will vary, depending on how compacted the foam is at the time.
3. Keep the foam dry and free from moisture. Use the water protection layer for added protection against spills, but note it is not 100% waterproof.
4. Occasionally air out the Crash Bag without the plush cover and water protection layer (out in the sun for the day is even better)
5. In humid climates, use a dehumidifier to remove excess moisture from the air to ensure the foam remains dry.

CRASH BAG SAFETY:

1. Recommended for ages 3+ with adult supervision.
2. Keep at least two meters away from any fire or heat source, such as heaters or fireplaces.
3. Keep away from hard objects to prevent injury.
4. IMPORTANT - Crash Bag may move around the room slightly as it is being used, so keep an eye on where it is, and adjust for safety as necessary.
5. Always supervise children to ensure they use
   the Crash Bag correctly.
6. Somersaults or flips onto the Crash Bag can cause serious injury, paralysis, or death.
7. Do not allow children to unzip or climb inside the Crash Bag.
8. The Crash Bag is not suitable as a sleeping surface for infants or children with poor body control.

WEIGHTED SENSORY LAP BLANKET SAFETY:

• Always use under adult supervision

WEIGHTED SENSORY LAP BLANKET CARE:

• Hand wash gently in cold or warm water, then lie flat to dry, turning regularly to help it dry.
• Allow to dry completely before use
• Do not tumble dry

IMPORTANT: The effects will vary with each child. Research suggests that weighted items should be approximately 5% to 10% of the person’s bodyweight for optimum results. Use for approximately 30 minutes at a time, with a break of similar time in between each use if possible, for best results.
