Special Tomato has created the Out and About Seat (OAS) providing comfortable support in a portable package. While you might not be venturing out into the usual places like restaurants or cinemas right now, there are still plenty ways this seat will come in handy and of course it will be ready and waiting for you to take out and about when it is safe to do so. The Special Tomato OAS provides comfortable upper body support using a padded, adjustable 8-point harness system and height adjustable headrest and can be attached to most standard, stable chairs. Once the child is properly seated, the 3-point pelvic harness and 5-point chest harness help to maintain a stable well-aligned position of the pelvis and trunk. Slots are available at 5 different heights on the base fabric back for the threading of shoulder straps. This ensures proper angle of pull and accommodates for growth of the child.

THE SPECIAL TOMATO OUT AND ABOUT SEAT IS READY TO GO WHEN YOU ARE!
LEMONSLICE+ Designed to assist little ones with pre-crawling mobility, the LemonSlice+ is a wooden support device with two pillows filled with foam rubber that adapt to the child’s body and safety straps hold them. This support device gives opportunity to move more independently and also stimulates development of crawling by strengthening arms and legs and giving children the opportunity to understand how to move them correctly to achieve intended movement and direction – and how much fun does it look! The child is put in a prone position while using this device, which helps stimulate deeper breathing, digestion and eye convergence. It is also designed to promote vestibular stimulation to strengthen inner ear and better develop understanding of their body in space. And the extendable base allows the Lemonslice+ to adapt to the size and need of the child. Find out more at www.avantinnovations.com.au SPECIAL ISSUE
