Never Leave your child unattended while using this product
POSITIONING SUGGESTIONS GIVEN IN THIS SECTION SHOULD BE TREATED AS A GUIDE ONLY. YOU SHOULD
ALWAYS CONSULT YOUR THERAPIST OR MEDICAL PRACTITIONER BEFORE USING THIS PRODUCT.
Always secure the child by using all of the positioning straps and safety straps provided. Velcro
should overlap by at least 3 inches
(7.5 cm)
on all straps before you begin to make any other
adjustments. Ensure the safety strap and positioning strap are adjusted for each child and for
changes of clothing.
WHY?
Holding the child’s hips and lower back in the right position forms the basis of their sitting position.
The better the position of their hips and back, the better their overall posture and function will be.
Hip Support Angle.
HOW?
The hip support fixes to the back post with four small
wingnuts Fig 8. By loosening these, the position of the hip
support can be adjusted forward and back and also for height
and angle. This adjustment is important to support the small
of the child’s back and keep the hips tipped forward at the
top. Tighten all wingnuts after any adjustment.
Tray Height & Position
HOW?
To fix the tray to Turtle place the tray support post over the screw in the centre of the seat Fig 9. Turn the
black handwheel to secure. The tray height can also be adjusted here.
To adjust the position of the tray on the seat, loosen the four black handwheels which are located just
under the surface of the tray Fig 10. The tray can then be moved toward and away from the child and can
be tilted. Tighten all handwheels after any adjustment.
ONLY TURN THE WINGNUTS TWICE OR THE BARREL NUT WILL DIS-ENGAGE
Fig 8
Fig 9
Fig 10
WHY?
Moving the tray towards, or away from your child directly affects the position of the hips and pelvis. This is
important to achieve and maintain a therapeutic position. The tray chest pad should always be forward of
the position of the abduction block to ensure that your child is sitting prone. To sit prone, the angle at your
child’s hips should be 90 degrees or less. Their weight should be supported entirely at the front.
Clear all items from the tray before adjustment.
Do not use
hot or cold drinks on the tray while in the angled position.
