Intended Use

The Soft-Touch Sitters are a versatile portable seating system for children who require mild to moder-ate seating and positioning support due to a musculoskeletal system disorder. Special Tomato Sitters come with a 5-point chest harness and a 3- point pelvic harness and are created out of a propitiatory soft material and foam inner core that provide clinically accurate support and comfort. Sitters also have external attachment straps that allow the seats to be affixed to a number of seating support sur-faces, thus making them “accessible” for children with disabilities and promoting social inclusion.
