The Flamingo calf support runs behind the lower legs and stops the feet sliding back under the seat. Holding the calves at a set point keeps the knees and ankles where the seating intends them to be, which is what stops a child gradually sliding out of position during a shower.
It is a sensible addition for a child with strong extensor patterns, for a child who pushes back through the legs, and for anyone whose feet come off the supports part way through a routine. The result is a steadier sitting posture with less correcting from the carer.
It is padded where it meets the leg, and it is built for the wet environment, so it goes in the normal cleaning routine with the rest of the chair.
