Trunk Positioning

A stable and comfortable sitting position requires a well supported trunk to provide symmetry of the skeleton and pelvic stability. Thoracic supports on the Bee hold the child's body at the side of the chest to help to maintain a symmetrical position and to help the child to sit up straight. The supports can be adjusted for height; each support can be adjusted individually as children may need support to be higher on one side than on the other. The supports can be adjusted for distance away from each other, as well as angle and the supports can also be flipped out of the way to help with transfers.

To provide gentle trunk support to children with low tone, the Jenx waistcoat harness is easy to use - made to attach, detach and flip away in seconds with a single hand. The zip is purposefully installed upside down, allowing access to abdominal feeding sites while maintaining good upper trunk control. A soft fabric surface against the child, with a wipe-clean front, make it both effective and practical for positioning support and for during feeding.
