MiniCAPS Seating System

Recently restyled and constantly improved, the MiniCAPS seating system is the baby brother of the reliable and durable CAPS II. It promotes the development of postural skills in sitting, and while also providing a highly functional position.

• Lighter weight than the CAPS II seat, the MiniCAPS is available in small sizes to suit children from around a year old
• Available in nine standard sizes
• Sacral support works with the carefully designed kneeblock to maintain pelvic position
• Fits a large range of bases, including height adjustable school bases.

This seating system offers a clinician the opportunity to help their clients actually improve their overall postural ability, whilst providing a highly functional sitting position for the user.

The effect of this type of postural management can be seen after only two weeks, when the seat length may require shortening as the user more easily adopts the balanced 'upright' position.

The built-in adjustment not only allows one to achieve a correct sitting position, but it also allows the seat to grow with the individual. Ultimately this will allow it to be recycled and used through out refurbishment programme.
