Donโ€™t let a lack of support turn your holiday into hard work.

Unfamiliar environments can be tough โ€“ for kids who need postural or mobility support and the families who care for them. But a few well-chosen, travel-friendly tools can make a big difference.

From mealtimes to beach days, devices like the GoTo Seat and Splashy help your child stay comfortable and included, without the need to improvise.

Lightweight, adjustable and easy to clean, theyโ€™re ideal for families heading away this summer.

Some students need a little more support to stay focused and comfortable.

Slumping, fidgeting, fatigue โ€“ these can all be signs a child isnโ€™t getting the postural support they need to learn and participate with confidence.

Low-tech seating provides mild support that:
โœ”๏ธ Encourages upright posture
โœ”๏ธ Reduces discomfort and distraction
โœ”๏ธ Helps kids stay focused for longer
โœ”๏ธ Blends in with the classroom

Options like the Pal Seat, Compass Chair or Soft Touch Liners provide gentle pelvic, trunk or head support. These are great for children who need a little extra support, without requiring a complex setup.

If youโ€™ve noticed your child struggling to stay seated or engaged, it might be time to look at what theyโ€™re sitting on.

Our ATP Hussein Ayache shared something special this week - Piere's journey from his first power chair trial to receiving his Permobil F5 VS.

The journey took patience. First trialling the K300 Ps Jr to introduce powered mobility. Then the M3 to better accommodate for growth. And when they confirmed he could weight-bear, the F5 VS became possible.

That's what our trials process does - it gives time to find the right fit, not just the available one. Piere confidently tested mid-wheel and front-wheel drive options, adapted quickly, and found exactly what worked.

Now he's opening fridges and cabinets independently, standing whenever he chooses and shooting the odd hoop! The pride on his face says it all.

A huge thanks to Hussein Ayache, Melinda Coffey, Ashleigh Hanekom, Mearelle, and Piere's physiotherapist Hussain Abou Hashem for the dedication. And to Piere and his family for trusting the process.

Holidays are for relaxing, not worrying about how your child will sit safely and comfortably.

Whether itโ€™s a road trip, beach day or lunch at grandmaโ€™s, travel often means new environments with no built-in support. Thatโ€™s where portable seating can make all the difference.

Devices like the Splashy, GoTo Seat or Soft Touch Liners are designed to:
โœ”๏ธ Provide familiar postural support on the go
โœ”๏ธ Reduce the need to improvise with towels or cushions
โœ”๏ธ Make meals, floor play or bathing safer and more comfortable
โœ”๏ธ Keep everyone relaxed and included

Theyโ€™re easy to pack, quick to set up, and help your child feel supported wherever the holiday takes you.

The right seat should work wherever your child learns, plays and participates, not just the classroom.

Some low-tech seating options are flexible enough to move between home, school and therapy settings. That means your child can have consistent postural support across their day โ€“ without needing multiple pieces of equipment.

These supportive seats help children:
โœ”๏ธ Stay upright and focused during class
โœ”๏ธ Join in comfortably at mealtimes
โœ”๏ธ Participate in therapy or group activities
โœ”๏ธ Feel confident with familiar equipment in new environments

The Rifton Activity Chair, Zoomi Plus or CatchUp Chair are all designed with flexibility in mind โ€“ easy to adjust, transport and adapt to different daily routines.

Some children need extra support in the car for many years โ€“ well beyond toddlerhood. The Carrot 3000 is one of the few special purpose car seats designed to grow with your child, supporting them through major stages of development.

โœ… Suitable from around 3 to 15 years old
โœ… Weight range: 13.6 kg to 49 kg
โœ… Highly adjustable for seat depth, back height and support level

This car seat adapts as your child grows โ€“ with modular parts that can be added or removed to keep the fit just right, and adapt as each childโ€™s needs change over time.

The Carrot has a range of accessories, including:
๐Ÿ”นSeat and backrest extensions
๐Ÿ”นSwivel base for easier transfers
๐Ÿ”นShoulder protector wings and trunk pads
๐Ÿ”นFolding footplate and abduction block
Whether your child needs more postural support, easier transfers or simply more room โ€“ the Carrot 3000 is built to go the distance.

As children grow and change, so do their support needs โ€“ and sometimes a quick seating check is all it takes to improve focus, comfort and participation in the classroom.

Here are a few signs a seating review might be needed:
๐Ÿ”น Slumping or sliding during class
๐Ÿ”น Difficulty staying focused
๐Ÿ”น Complaints of discomfort or fatigue
๐Ÿ”น Frequent fidgeting or shifting
๐Ÿ”น Avoiding seated tasks altogether

Low-tech supports โ€“ like liners, footrests or adjustable chairs โ€“ can be introduced without disrupting the classroom environment. They help keep those bodies (and brains) ready to learn.

Behaviour or biomechanics?

Thereโ€™s a hidden link between fatigue and focus โ€“ and it often shows up in the classroom.

When a child is struggling to sit upright, theyโ€™re often struggling to concentrate too. Without the right support, discomfort builds, and what looks like acting out may actually be a child just trying to stay comfortable.

Low-tech classroom seating can help:
โœ”๏ธ Reduce fidgeting and slumping
โœ”๏ธ Support more comfortable, upright sitting
โœ”๏ธ Promote focus, calm and participation

Posture isnโ€™t just about positioning. Itโ€™s about helping kids feel ready to learn.

Noticing changes in behaviour, attention or comfort at school? It might be time to review your childโ€™s seating.

Car travel for children with additional needs can be complex โ€“ but you donโ€™t have to navigate it alone.

Whether youโ€™re a parent, carer or therapist, the MACA Resource Hub offers trusted, up-to-date guidance on safe, accessible vehicle transport for children with disability or medical conditions.

Created by Mobility & Accessibility for Children and Adults Ltd - MACA in Australia, the hub includes:
โœ”๏ธ Practical advice on choosing car seats and harnesses
โœ”๏ธ Information tailored to both families and allied health professionals
โœ”๏ธ National and state-by-state regulations
โœ”๏ธ Templates to support safe, informed decisions

It covers a wide range of equipment, from standard and modified car seats to special purpose car seats and vehicle harnesses.

๐Ÿ’ก MACA has also developed AuSAP โ€“ the Australian Safety Assessment Program โ€“ to crash test and verify specialised car seats for use in Australia.

This is a go-to resource for anyone supporting children with additional needs in transport.

Two new options for safer, more supported car travel, especially when standard solutions donโ€™t quite fit.

When it comes to car safety, children with postural or sensory needs often require more than a standard restraint system. Thatโ€™s why weโ€™re excited to share two new additions to our specialised car seat range โ€“ each designed with unique features for children who need that little bit more.

๐Ÿš— Hernik Hero XL โ€“ for extended rear-facing travel with postural support

Rear-facing is safest for as long as possible, especially for those with limited head or trunk control.

The Hero XL is the first seat of its kind in Australasia to offer:
โœ”๏ธ Rear-facing travel up to 125cm or 36kg
โœ”๏ธ Adjustable trunk, thigh and head supports
โœ”๏ธ Postural support features for alignment and comfort
โœ”๏ธ No ISOFIX required โ€“ ideal for a wider range of vehicles

Itโ€™s a supportive, flexible option for children needing a safer position and greater customisation as they grow.

๐ŸŽง Alivat Simon โ€“ for sensory-sensitive travel and flexible positioning

Some children need more than physical support. They need a space that also supports emotional regulation and calm.

The Simon Car Seat combines clinical support with sensory features:
โœ”๏ธ Built-in sound system in the headrest for calming audio or music
โœ”๏ธ Swivel base and tilt-in-base function for easier transfers
โœ”๏ธ Highly adjustable supports for pelvis, trunk and head
โœ”๏ธ ISOFIX installation with side impact protection

Made from soft, breathable materials, the Simon seat is designed for comfort on every journey, especially longer ones.

Every childโ€™s transport needs are different. These two seats show how far paediatric car safety has come, with tailored options for postural, sensory and accessibility needs.

Is your child starting school in 2026? Letโ€™s talk seating. ๐Ÿช‘

Starting school is a big step โ€“ and the right seating can help make it a smoother one.

For children with mild to moderate postural needs, low-tech seating provides โ€œjust enoughโ€ support to help with:
โœ”๏ธ Sitting upright for longer periods
โœ”๏ธ Staying focused and comfortable
โœ”๏ธ Reducing fatigue and distraction throughout the day

These chairs and supports are designed to blend into classroom environments, while still offering the adjustability your child needs to participate fully.

Planning early means more time to trial options, make adjustments and get everything in place before Term 1.
