SEATING CONFIGURATIONS
The Pediatric Positioning Chair offers two seating configurations for infants and toddlers. The seat can slide easily in and out of the
multi-level slots, as shown below. Both seating options offer a saddle horn knob that aids in proper positioning and contains a
protective genital lead shield for patient safety.
INFANT X-Ray Positioning
(up to 8 months old)
The form-sitting infant saddle-style seat is used for infants up to 8 month old. Soft
stretchy straps are used to safely secure the patient’s arms in the desired pose. The
chin strap is also used to support the infant’s head and neck.
TODDLER X-Ray Positioning
(up to 4 years old, depending on size)
The bench-style seat is used for toddlers and children up to four years old,
depending on their individual size. The chair back is adjustable depending on the
height of the child and the seat height is adjustable with multi-level slots. The
upper-level can generally be used for children whose head can fit comfortably in
the headrest while still allowing the chin to remain slightly elevated. The lower-
level seat slot can be used for taller children, typically 3 years and older. Non-
stretchy straps are included for strong toddlers to secure their arms and the
padded chin strap helps achieve the desired head tilt.
