A seating system can help improve posture, stability and comfort while supporting participation in daily activities such as learning, playing, eating and social interaction. Appropriate positioning may support breathing, eating and drinking, communication and pressure management, depending on the child’s individual needs. A well-fitted seating system can help reduce fatigue and make daily care easier for both the child and the caregivers. A qualified healthcare professional should assess and review the seating solution.

Choosing a seating system involves understanding your child’s postural support needs, comfort requirements, daily activities and future growth. It is important to consider adjustability, compatibility with frames and the environments, where the seating system will be used. An assessment with a therapist or clinician can help identify the most appropriate solution.

Alternatives to a seating system may include activity chairs, buggies or wheelchairs. Some children may use different seating solutions throughout the day depending on their activities and level of support required.
