Show AllMy bff's answer: 3) I had three arm slings. One didn't have any padding in the shoulder strap and cut into my neck. The second one was soft and stretchy - but too stretchy - my heavy cast hung down around my waist. The third was a combination of the two and was perfect.
Something like this strap would be comfotable for kids because of the neck padding which is the most common problem (note the decorated sling also): http://www.jansenmedical.net/images/T/t-4766-3363.jpeg
The strap could also be wider or thicker. Padding has to be placed strategically, which limits the adjustability of the strap.
I would add a removable pad between my body and the cast, so that the weight wouldn't be all on my shoulder.
