Baffin 1 Car Seat imageBaffin Technology Systems has launched a new specialist car seat, which is designed to offer children as much adjustment as possible to ensure they can achieve the optimum postural support and positioning when travelling in a car.

Baffin 1 Car Seat claims to make life easier for parents and carers, as it features a rotating platform that makes getting in and out of the car seat “much easier” for everyone.

To ensure the child is comfortable at all times, the device’s footrest is height and angle adjustable. Additionally, the backrest features side supports that can be especially useful for smaller children to ensure they maintain the correct sitting position.

An additional seat cushion is also available should the width of the seat need to be further reduced.

Another issue many parents have is trying to support their child’s head, according to Baffin Technology Systems. Additional headrest upholstery is available should the child require more support to the side of the head while the integrated chest strap supports the torso and helps with positioning. For children that need to stabilise their lower limbs, there are two leg abduction belts.

When the car is not in motion, a table accessory can be attached to the car seat. However, this must be removed before the vehicle resumes its journey, Baffin emphasises.

Marzena Komisarczuk, the founder of Baffin Technology Systems, commented: “From my own experiences with my daughter Sylwia who has cerebral palsy, I am very aware of the issues that parents can encounter when using a car seat. I truly believe the Baffin 1 will help families who are looking for a specialist car seat to ensure their child can travel in comfort.”
