Caregivers of special needs children know that sometimes, even the most basic, mundane activities can be a time-consuming adventure. The Skillbuilders Modular Feeder Seating System is the solution for making stationary activities run smoothly and easily for both child and caregiver.
The seat itself is ergonomically designed to promote good posture and has a built-in abductor and safety harness for added security. The seats are made from a soft, molded foam that is firm enough to stand up to years of use while staying forgiving enough to be comfortable for extended periods of time sitting in the chair. The foam has an integral waterproof coating that makes keeping the chair clean and sanitary fast and easy. Feeder seats can be used, as the name suggests, for feeding times to make sure children are in the optimal position for eatingbut they can also be used for much, much more. The chair is ideal for any stationary activity where the child needs to remain seated securely, and can be used for everything from arts and crafts to computer time. The Skillbuilders Modular Feeder Seating System has many optional accessories to the chair itself to increase its usability. Caregivers can purchase everything from a simple wedge base that provides upright and reclined positioning to a stroller frame that the seat can be put in for more mobile activities. Stand-alone trays are available that can be positioned directly in front of the seat, allowing children a reachable work surface. A wooden base with casters allows children with some leg mobility to wheel themselves around, and comes with a pull strap so children who cannot do so can be wheeled around by their caregivers.
Seat covers are also available to make seats even more comfortable; they are easily removable and machine washable, making keeping them clean simple and easy. The seat covers act as a soft, cushioned barrier between the skin and the foam of the seat, preventing any potential irritation during long-term use. The covers are made with an open-cell foam that absorbs moisture and keeps users cool.
