NEVER LEAVE YOUR CHILD UNATTENDED WHILE USING THIS PRODUCT
45
˚
pelvic strap
HOW?
Clip the buckle in the centre of the strap to secure your
child. The strap length is altered by opening the swiss
locks beneath the back the seat
(fig 6)
and pulling the two
straps until the right length is achieved. Always make sure
that you pull evenly from both sides, and that the buckle
stays in the middle of your child, and is covered by the
fabric pad. This helps to keep them sitting straight and
comfortable.
Ensure a fingers width between the belt and the child to
prevent over tightening or the child moving to an inappro-
priate position.
Note: Always route this strap under the hip pads
The Chest Strap/Thoracic Pads
HOW?
The chest strap length can be adjusted easily using the Swiss lock buckles
(fig 7).
The thoracic pad height
can be adjusted by moving the thoracic pad bar into the appropriate channel. Simply remove the screw in
fig 8, move the thoracic pad bar to the required height and re-insert the screws in the relevant holes to lock
the bars in place.
WHY?
The pelvic strap not only holds your child safely in the seat but also holds their hips in place in the back of
the seat. This gives them a stable base for sitting. The position of your child’s hips is important as it is the
base of their posture. Weight should be evenly distributed on either side and their pelvis should be level
and not rotated.
A 5mm T-bar Allen key is provided for adjusting Gamma.

Making & Using the Adjustments
WHY?
The strap and pads have been designed to mould around your child’s upper trunk to offer maximum
support when seated. They should fit snugly around your child’s upper body and be secure but not too
tight. If your child needs specific support in certain areas, please consult your therapist for advice.

Secure the child by using the 45° pelvic strap before you begin to make any other adjustments.
Ensure the belt is adjusted for each child and for changes of clothing.
Ensure the straps are routed under the hip pads. Ensure a finger’s width between the belt and
the child to prevent over tightening or the child moving to an inappropriate position.
