Everyday Activity Seat User Manual
If the seat has flip-away chest laterals,
first move these out of the way. Unclip
the pelvic harness in the middle. Lastly
if sandals are fitted, open the straps.
You are now ready to transfer or hoist
the child into the seat.
Once the child is in the seat, firstly
fasten the pelvic harness using the
middle buckle. Then refasten the
sandal straps and any other harnesses,
and reposition the chest laterals.
Always secure the pelvic
harness or pelvic cradle first
before fastening other buckles
or harnesses. Adjust the
harness so the child cannot
slide or creep forward in the
seat.

PELVIC HARNESS

camlocks and either pull the straps to
tighten or feed the straps through to
loosen, depending on fit required

Ensure strap is fed through the
triglide as a safety precaution
in case the camlock is opened
accidentally.
12.3 CHEST HARNESS
ADJUSTMENT
If the child requires chest support
as part of their postural support
programme the seat will be fitted
with rigid laterals or a combination of
laterals and chest harness. These may
need to be adjusted on a daily basis to
accommodate differences in clothing.
Always check with your therapist as to
the optimum positioning and
tensioning of the straps and support
items for the child.
