Heathfield Chair for Postural Support by Smirthwaite

In large group settings (like a classroom) and smaller settings (like the home), it can be difficult to meet every child's unique and different needs. That being said, Smirthwaite's Heathfield Chair for Postural Support is here to help ensure every child gets the attention and care they deserve.

The chair's wooden frame is built to last and maintains its structural integrity even with fidgety, wiggly children. Both the seat and backrest are padded for the child's comfort and are easy to wipe down, a must for teachers and parents alike. For better posture, the seat is raised at the front to comfortably support the knees.

To accommodate the user's height and leg length, the distance of the seat to the floor can be adjusted without lowering the chair's overall stability. The depth of the seat is similarly adjustable, as are the armrests. Additionally, both armrests feature closed bases that help limit sensory input and provide users with a greater sense of security when seated. The armrests are completely removable for those who do not need or do not prefer them. The included hip seat belt is removable, and can be used to keep the user safely seated in the chair for the duration of activities like reading, arts and crafts, or eating.

Multiple accessories that install quickly and easily to the Heathfield chair are available to be mixed and matched. The footboard and adjustable footrest provide a comfortable platform for children to rest their feet, while the kicking board prevents children from wrapping their feet around chair legs; it also encourages better posture. An abduction pommel can be added to maintain hip alignment, and a 4-point harness with a chest pad helps keep the child securely in the chair. The mobile dolly base and height-adjustable push handles make the chair conveniently portable, and can be helpful when working with less ambulatory children.
