PivotFit
A Mobility Management Best Pick, the PivotFit upper-body support, available in XXS-XL sizes, provides 25-percent more pressure distribution than Bodypoint’s H-style harness, with body-hugging curves and a low-profile swivel buckle to equalize tension bilaterally. Requiring 12 lbs. of force to open, the swivel buckle discourages “fiddling” and prevents accidental release. Balancing shoulder and chest support, PivotFit aids respiration, head control and technology access. Users report greater success in school, play and everyday activi- ties. Laminar pads curve into a low-sternum adjustment strap to avoid choking risk.

Chill-Out Chair with 3-Point Belt
Freedom Concepts’ well-known Chill-Out Chair offers a comfortable seating alternative to a stroller or beanbag. But a new 3-point padded pelvic positioning belt now makes
it a great choice for kids who need pelvic stabilization or need to be prevented from leaving the chair prematurely. Made from thick and long-lasting foam and covered with fabric that matches the chair, the
belt blends into the Chill-Out Chair and is designed to prevent abrasions and excessive pressure. Check with Freedom Concepts for other accessories and fabric choices.

P Pod
The P Pod was born as a result of feedback from parents clamoring for an alternative seating device for the home that would provide all the clinical benefits their children need, while allowing them to actively partici- pate with their families. Through vibrant colors and a beanbag-like design, the P Pod offers a warm, fun and engaging look with
a specially molded foam liner that provides outstanding positional support and comfort. There are three components to the P Pod: the Positioning Pod, a molded foam liner that provides optimal postural support; the Bolster Support, which assists with upright positioning; and a beanbag base.

Invacare’s Solara 3G combines adjustability with easy-to-use tilt and a growable seat pan to match each user’s individual needs. The Tilt-Assist adjustment helps to correct for uneven weight distribution. A Low Shear Recline option minimizes potentially dangerous shearing forces. An optional DeGage dynamic rocker back accommo- dates clients with involuntary thrusting movements. The foot-operated wheel lock easily locks both rear wheels for caregiver convenience.

Anterior Support Walker
The anterior support walker is designed for kids who can support weight on their legs and take steps, but who lack the balance
or body and shoulder control required by more traditional walkers. Created to address the needs of children with severe spasticity, athetosis or ataxia, the anterior support walker is available in three sizes, and its front wheels can swivel or lock in the forward position. Rear wheels are equipped with external ratchets to prevent the walker from rolling backwards. Handgrip adjusts fore and aft, and cushion angle adjusts.
