They are so important to me that I have my usual one (22 lbs), a travel one (10 lbs) and a wrap thing that I think is 8 lbs. The recommended weight is 10% of your body weight up to about 22 lbs. I'm sure that's advertised differently but that was what I was taught in school and I'm sticking to it  .

I haven't tried one, but I have heard good things and considered it. Thanks for the reminder and suggestion. I think I'll check into it again.
