Some children sit well in the chair until they fatigue, then the trunk collapses forwards and everything else, head control, hand use, eating, goes with it. The four point safety vest holds the upper body back against the backrest so the child keeps the position you set.
It anchors at four points, over the shoulders and at the sides, and acts as a trunk stabiliser. The closure is designed to be pulled up to tension quickly, which matters for a carer managing a child who is already unsettled. Because the vest spreads load right across the chest, it is more comfortable for a child who is in the chair for a whole mealtime or a school session.
It is sized to match the chair, so the vest grows with the seat through the size range.
