Before you do, remember, we are a not for profit CIC. Another store may be slightly cheaper, but every penny spent with us helps children with disabilities.
Made from comfortable stretchy cotton lycra, the Shortie Vest is more close-fitting for those prefering the feeling of a close-fitting vest, especially on the autistic spectrum or have sensory processing issues. The sleeveless vest has little shorts and poppers at the crotch, allowing a nappy or pad to be changed.

VAT: Our prices are primarily displayed without VAT (Value Added Tax), as many of our customers qualify for VAT exemption due to disability. To benefit from this, simply complete a VAT exemption form, and we will refund the VAT on your first order. For future purchases, please create an account so we can update your account to VAT exempt status, ensuring that VAT will no longer be applied at checkout. If you are not eligible for exemption, VAT will automatically be added during checkout.Please note: that some products are VAT exempt by default.
Please Note: These products are sold with their intended purpose as described. We cannot be held responsible for any misuse of items where physical force has been used to damage the product or where it had been used in a manner that it was not designed for. If in doubt of its suitability, please get in touch.

Fledglings currently ships within the United Kingdom (including the Isle of Man and Jersey) only. For international orders, please email us at enquiries@fledgings.org.uk as we may be able to arrange shipping offline.
Shipping costs are calculated at checkout. If your order is supplied by more than one supplier, an additional charge will be applied to contribute towards shipping costs. This helps us keep product prices as low as possible and more affordable than ordering from multiple retailers individually.
Please note: Royal Mail Tracked 24 shipping does not guarantee next-day delivery. Once dispatched, delivery times are subject to Royal Mail.
We may be able to ship some items internationally. Standard shipping for small parcels to EU countries is £15.
Please note: Customs duties or import fees may be charged on arrival. These vary by country and are beyond our control. We recommend checking with your local customs office before ordering.
If you require a shipping quote for larger parcels or delivery to non-EU countries, please contact us for assistance.
If you would like your order sent via a tracked and insured service (recommended for valuable or time-sensitive items), please email enquiries@fledglings.org.uk or call us on 0203 319 9772.
Items in stock are usually dispatched within 2 working days of order processing and delivered to the address provided. Goods remain the property of Fledglings until full payment is received.
Some products are shipped directly from our suppliers. Where this applies, it will be clearly shown under the ‘Shipping Information’ section of the product listing. Contact us if you need more details.
If you change your mind or are unhappy with your order, you may return items within 21 days of receipt. Please allow up to 10 working days for processing. Items must be in new condition with original packaging and tags intact.
To arrange a return, email enquiries@fledglings.org.uk with your order number and the item(s) you wish to return. We will provide the correct return address. Alternatively login to your order and start a return from the Orders page.
Important Notes:
If an item is returned in a condition unsuitable for resale (e.g. used, damaged, missing packaging, or unhygienic), we cannot provide a full refund.
In such cases, you will be given two options:
If the item is from our own warehouse, we can issue a partial refund, at our discretion, based on the condition of the item. If the item is from one of our suppliers we will liaise with them on your behalf.
Once your return has been received and inspected, you will be notified by email of the approval or rejection of your refund.
As a not for profit CIC, we kindly ask that customers cover the cost of return postage. Every purchase supports Contact, the national charity for families with disabled children.
Thank you for shopping with us – your support is greatly appreciated.
They have been perfect for my son!!
Thank you for your lovely review! We’re so pleased the vests are perfect for your son. Sarah - Fledglings
I bought a size smaller than I would normally as the fitting is on the large size. This is perfect now and hides my nappy perfectly.
Hi Nick,
We are so pleased that you are happy with the vest. Thank you for shopping with us at Fledglings

Thank-you for your review on our shortie vest for adults. We are sorry to hear that the vest wasn't as long as you expected we do always recommend for customers to check the product measurements before ordering. Items can always be returned for a refund in their original condition if you are unhappy with your purchase. Thank-you for shopping with us at Fledglings and please do let us know if we can help further.
