Is 5 lbs right for my child?

Weighted blanket guidance generally suggests about 10 percent of body weight, so 5 lbs suits children around 50 lbs. Younger or smaller kids are the intended users.

Can it be machine washed?

The listing says both hand washing or wiping and machine washing and drying. Follow the care label on the blanket and use a gentle cycle if you machine wash.

Is it big enough for a bed?

No. At 36 by 48 inches it is a lap and nap blanket, not a full bed cover. It works best folded over a child on the couch or in the car.

What comes in the box?

The blanket arrives in a reusable PVC bag with a sturdy handle. The bag is handy for storage and travel.

It is designed for kids. An adult can use it as a lap blanket while reading, but 5 lbs is light for adult calming use.

Our take on the Teler Weighted Blanket for Kids，Weighted Lap Blanket（36 x 48，5lbs）

The Teler is a 5 lb weighted lap blanket sized 36 by 48 inches, aimed at children who settle better under gentle pressure. It is small enough to carry between the couch, the car and travel, and it comes in a reusable PVC carry bag. Against adult weighted blankets it trades coverage for portability, so it works as a lap or nap blanket rather than a full bed cover. Buyers rate it well overall, though care instructions conflict: the listing mentions hand washing and wiping as well as machine washing and drying.
