The  Delfi  (illustration  1)  and  the  Sharky  (illustration  2)  are  adjustable  seat  units for  children. The 
Delfi is available in three sizes; the Sharky is the larger version of the Delfi. Thanks to their many 
adjustment facilities, these seat units provide the child with good support when seated. 
 
The  Delfi  is  suitable  for  children  between  the  ages  of  8  months  and  10  years.  The  Sharky  is 
suitable for older children. 
 

Settings 

The  abduction  seat,  combined  with  a  threshold  seat,  allows  optimum  positioning  of  the  pelvis.  It 
can  also  accommodate  a  leg  length  variation  of  up  to  5  cm.  The  height  of  the  backrest  can  be 
adjusted  to  enable  perfect  side  support. The  seat  unit  is  ideal for children  who  require maximum 
seating support. This also makes the Delfi and Sharky a good alternative to an orthopaedic seating 
system.  
 

Adjustable seating angle 

The  Delfi's  seating  angle  can  be  adjusted  from  5

°

  positive  to  30

°

  negative.  The  seat  unit  is 

available with a fixed or resilient backrest

.

 The latter allows the child a certain degree of movement 

and is ideal for absorbing greater impact.  
 

Modular system 

The Delfi is modular which means that the seat unit can be constructed to fit individual needs. The 
seat is equipped with loose, washable cushions that can be attached with press-studs, clasps and 
Velcro. The seat bucket has four separate cushions: 1 cushion for the seat, 1 for the centre of the 
backrest and 2 for the sides of the backrest.
