Postural support is important ALL the time: at the table, in a wheelchair, in bed… and in the car.

When children don’t have the right support in a vehicle, it can lead to discomfort, fatigue or even unsafe travel.

Even with a special purpose car seat, as children grow or their condition changes, they may begin to slump or slide in a seat that once seemed “good enough”. This is especially common with regressive diagnoses or changes in muscle tone or strength over time.

That’s when extra postural supports are needed.

It might be:
✔️ Adjustable footrests to stop legs dangling and reduce pins and needles
✔️ Lateral supports that help maintain a more upright position

These small additions make a big difference:
✔️ Improved comfort
✔️ Better head and trunk alignment
✔️ Safer, calmer journeys
✔️ More participation in everyday activities

Some specialised car seats, like the Carrot 3000, offer height-adjustable footrests that flip up during transfers with a swivel base – a great option for children with contractures or high muscle tone.

Every child deserves to feel supported in every environment – including in the car.

Explore our range of car safety options for more comfortable, supported travel.

Not every child needs a car seat – sometimes, a harness is the right fit.

Vehicle positioning harnesses are used alongside a standard seat belt to add an extra layer of protection. They can provide mild postural support, help with safe positioning, and are often less bulky than a special purpose car seat – especially useful in smaller vehicles or school transport.

Harnesses like the Houdini range are commonly used where there are behavioural challenges during travel, or when extra support is needed to help a child stay safely seated.

Here’s what’s important to know:
👉 If a child needs a harness for behavioural reasons only, a Positive Behaviour Support Plan must be completed by an allied health professional. This is because it may be considered a restrictive practice, depending on how the harness is used.

👉 If the harness is prescribed for postural or therapeutic reasons, it’s generally not considered a regulated restrictive practice.

Not sure which path to take?
That’s where our Assistive Technology Professionals (ATPs) can help. We work closely with families and therapists to find the most appropriate and compliant car travel solution.

For further guidance on car harnesses, restrictive practices and the assessment process, we also recommend the comprehensive resources from Mobility & Accessibility for Children and Adults Ltd - MACA

Every child deserves a safe and supportive ride.

From full-support special purpose car seats to behavioural harnesses, we offer a range of car safety solutions for children with additional needs.

Whether it’s extra postural support, help with transfers, or preventing unbuckling on the move – there’s a solution that can help.

The Carrot 3000 is a special needs booster seat designed to provide optimal positioning and safety for children with insufficient head, trunk, and pelvic stability. This comprehensive system offers a wide range of extension accessories and multi-adjustable features to accommodate the needs of children and teenagers as they grow.

Watch Julie Taylor, our National Clinical Educator demonstrate how to use the swivel base on the Carrot 3000 👉

Travelling with kids who have additional needs can be challenging, particularly when managing safety in the car. Some children may struggle with staying buckled up, which can create stress and potential danger while on the road.

🔹 Balancing behavioural needs and safety
For children with sensory sensitivities, impulse control difficulties or anxiety, the car environment can be tricky. Balancing these needs with the safety of everyone travelling is essential.

🔹 Simple solutions for complex challenges
We supply a range of devices that can help kids feel safe and secure while travelling. From discreet buckle covers to prevent children from unbuckling their seatbelt to specialised harnesses and cross straps, there are a range of solutions available.

Prioritising car safety with the right tools can make all the difference in creating a secure, stress-free environment for family travel.

Getting in and out of the car can be tough – especially as kids grow and transfers become more physically demanding.

💡 A swivel base can make a big difference.

Some of our car seats come with an optional swivel base that allows the seat to rotate toward the car door – helping reduce lifting, reaching and awkward manoeuvres for caregivers.

It’s a simple way to:
✅ Reduce strain during transfers
✅ Support safer movement in and out of the car
✅ Make travel more manageable for everyone

These seats also offer excellent postural support, with adjustable lateral supports, padded harnesses and in-built tilt for comfort and safety on the road.

Need help finding the right solution? We’re here to help.

A big thank you to everyone who joined us for the ILS Kids education event in Auburn.

It was fantastic to spend the morning with engaged OTs, exploring real-world paediatric assistive technology and earning CPD points along the way.

One of the biggest highlights was having the chance to see equipment up close and talk through clinical considerations with Melinda Clarke from APEX Mobility and our own Julie Taylor from ILS Kids. These conversations are so important when it comes to choosing the right AT for each child’s needs.

If you missed out this time, we’ve got plenty of other learning opportunities coming up soon. Including a webinar on the always popular and very important topic of pressure care:

🖥️ Webinar – The Link Between Posture, Pressure & Cushion Prescription
In recognition of Worldwide Stop Pressure Injuries Day, we’ll explore the essential relationship between posture and pressure in sitting, and what that means for cushion selection.

For clear, practical information on safe and accessible vehicle transport for children with a disability or medical condition visit Mobility & Accessibility for Children and Adults Ltd - MACA

The team at MACA – Mobility and Accessibility for Children in Australia – are doing important work to improve national standards and help families and therapists navigate this complex area.

Their resource hub includes:
✔️ Easy-to-follow guidance on choosing car seats and vehicle harnesses
✔️ State-by-state transport regulations
✔️ Templates and resources to support safe decision-making

They’ve also developed the Australian Safety Assessment Program (AuSAP), to assess, crash test and approve special purpose car seats for use in Australia.

We highly recommend this resource for families, OTs and anyone supporting children with additional needs in transport.

If a child requires a special purpose car seat, it’s important to understand the legal requirements for safe travel.

Australian Standards
All standard car seats sold in Australia must meet AS/NZS 1754.
Most special purpose car seats are tested to European or North American standards. Australia currently lacks a specific standard for these seats, so users must follow a state-based exemption process for legal use.

While the process varies by state, it typically requires:
👉 A letter from a GP or therapist explaining why a standard seat won’t work
👉 Approval from the state’s relevant transport authority

Other top tips
If you use additional safety devices like harnesses or buckle covers, make sure to carry your exemption letter when travelling
Check out Mobility & Accessibility for Children and Adults Ltd - MACA for detailed resources on state laws.

Need help?
Our ATPs can guide you through the legalities and paperwork, ensuring compliance while keeping your child safe.
