What is the age for a vest or acapella?

I'm surprised that they can use the Acapella at age 2. I assumed the breathing techniques would require an older child. Glad it worked for your child.

When Josh was little and had been hospitalized for a bad bronchial infection, the respiratory therapist used a cup in their hands. It was made from rubber and was light blue. They than taped it to tongue depressors for me to use at home...they said it was better than chest clapping because it was smaller and wouldn't sting as much. <b>Hey that was at least 11 years ago.</b>

I remember that blue cup! Wow I hadn't thought of that is a LONG time.

Anyway, the nice thing about the acapella is that there really any technique involved. It is made so that you can't mess up, you can do it lying down, standing on your head if you want to (my doc said that). So i would imagine that an almost two year old could easily use it.

I just checked the paperwork on my daughter's acapella and all it says is single patient use, no age restrictions or recommendations. I would think that if the kid was obedient in using the thing and if the kid can breath in and out then any age shoud be able to use it. I find in very easy to use and like someone else said you can't screw it up. My daughter has never used the vest since she was diagnosed at 12.
