Case studies
Moulded seating
This type of seating tends to be used for children who cannot attain a stable, comfortable position in off-the-shelf, adjustable seating.
Some systems are made up of interlinking components (modular seating) that can be re-shaped when necessary. Others are permanently moulded into a particular shape. They interface with various static and mobile seat frames and also wheelchair frames.

Help and advice
Moulded seating should only be used on the recommendation of your child's occupational therapist and/or physiotherapist.
These systems will need to be reviewed regularly to ensure they continue to meet your child's needs and so that any necessary re-shaping can be completed. The health professional involved in the prescription will be able to advise on how often this will be necessary as it varies between children.
