Why? What are the benefits?
The chest strap and thoracic support pads are designed to hold the child’s body straight whilst sitting. Gravity
then helps to develop their bones and their muscle tone. Ensure two fingers space between the thoracic
supports and the child’s armpit and a finger width from the child. Floppy children should be supported by a
combination of thoracic supports and hip supports to keep the spine straight. This helps to prevent the child
sitting with a curved spine.
