What we like
- The 1.5kg weight does something an ordinary plush can't
- Microwave or freeze, so it suits either preference
- Taste theming gives you a way to talk about the feeling with them
- Sized to sit across a lap without overwhelming a 3-year-old
What could be better
- $59 is a lot for a stuffed animal
- Not for under-3s, and never for sleep
- Surface-wash only, which is limiting for something cuddled daily

Safety notes
Weighs 1.5kg (3.3lb). The brand states ages 3 and up. Never put a weighted toy in a cot, a bed with a sleeping child, or anywhere it could rest on a face or chest. It is a comfort object for supervised, awake use, not a sleep product. Surface-wash only.
Buying guide notes
All the Weighted Buddies weigh the same and do the same job, so pick on the animal alone. If you're not sure the weighted idea will land with your child, the $15 breathing ball is a much cheaper way to test the water first.
Overview
Our full take
Francesca is the loudest-looking of the buddies, which is the whole appeal for a child who wants their comfort object to be a bit of a character. Every Weighted Buddy is the same 1.5kg (3.2lb), so choosing between them is genuinely just about which animal your child takes to. The weight is what does the work: deep pressure is the same principle behind a weighted blanket, and children who seek pressure tend to notice the difference straight away. Warm Francesca in the microwave or chill in the freezer, so one toy covers a child who settles with heat and one who prefers cold. Two things to be straight about. It's $59 for a soft toy. And the weight makes it a supervised, awake-time object, not something to leave in a bed with a sleeping child.
