Description

Remain comfortably seated while out with family and friends.

When you’re on the go with someone in your group who has special needs, ensuring inclusive seating arrangements can be a challenge. Whether at sports stadiums, movie theaters, concerts, school, your favorite local restaurant, or even your own dining table, individuals needing postural support often face difficulty finding suitable seating options. This limitation can restrict their ability to fully participate in activities. How often have you heard or said, “they can’t join because they can’t endure sitting in those seats for long”. Not any more.
Introducing the Out & About Seat (OAS) by Special Tomato! This innovative seating solution offers comfortable upper body support through its padded, adjustable 8-Point harness system and height-adjustable headrest. It revolutionises where your family member with special needs can comfortably sit while out with loved ones. Compatible with most standard, sturdy chairs with a minimum seat back height of 14 inches, the Special Tomato OAS ensures versatility.

Once properly seated, the 3-Point pelvic harness and 5-Point chest harness maintain a stable, well-aligned position of the pelvis and trunk. The base fabric back features slots at five different heights for threading shoulder straps, ensuring proper angle of pull and accommodating the child’s growth. The adjustable height headrest encourages a midline position of the head.

By providing proper support in an aligned upright sitting position, the OAS redirects energy that would have been spent on discomfort or maintaining posture towards engaging and participating in the surrounding experience. This means children can fully embrace and be included in their activities.

Key features: -Base fabric and fabric pad are easily wipeable and machine washable for convenience.
-Padded attachment straps securely fasten the base fabric and safeguard furniture.
-Simple side-release buckles and a quick-release button on the pelvic harness enable easy adjustments.
-The 3-Point padded adjustable pelvic harness ensures proper positioning of the pelvis and hips.
-The 5-Point padded adjustable chest harness maintains proper positioning of the trunk.
-Height adjustable headrest encourages a midline head position.
-Completely portable with backpack straps for hands-free transportation.
-Compatible with Special Tomato Soft-Touch Liner Seat and Back Cushions for added support.
