Chest and trunk 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, chest harnesses
and trunk 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.
To change the width of the chest harness, lift
the front cover, adjust the Velcro straps and
set to the desired width. When the correct
width has been achieved replace the cover.
Please refer to section 10 for specific
guidance on adjusting the trunk harness.
Always make sure the plastic buckles
are fully engaged when using the
chest harness.
Check the harness and laterals are secure
to ensure the child is safe and cannot
slide forward in the seat as this may
restrict their breathing.
