11.1 Transferring your child
into and out of the seat
Before transferring the child into the seat
carry out the daily product inspection as
outlined in section 13 of this user manual.
Adjust the seat to a comfortable height to
facilitate transfer. Lock all the castors, (A)
ensuring that they are facing outwards
to maximise product stability. Make sure
the safety buckle on the chest harness
is released (B) and is out of the way to
facilitate transfer. Remove the pommel (C).
Unclip the pelvic harness in the middle
(D) and allow the harness to open out to
facilitate transfer. Lastly if sandals (E) are
fitted open the straps. You are now ready to
transfer or hoist the child into the seat.
Always secure the pelvic harness
first before fastening other buckles or
harnesses. Adjust the harness so the child
cannot slide or creep forward in the seat.

11.2 Adjusting the
Pelvic Harness
The correct positioning and tensioning of the
pelvic harness is key to a child's postural
management affecting their comfort and
ability to achieve functional goals. Please ask
your therapist as to the correct tensioning of
straps for your child as this is critical to good
postural management.
To tension the pelvic straps and pads around
the child pull the centre strap (A). Pull the
two side straps (B) up to fine tune the pelvic
position and adjust the height of the pads on
the hips.
Check the harness regularly to ensure
the child is safe and cannot slide forward
in the seat.

11.3 Chassis
The Squiggles Seat is designed to fit onto a
range of chassis. This user manual shows the
correct and safe use of the seating system
with the Leckey Hi-low and Easy chassis. For
all other chassis or bases please refer to the
manufacturer's handbook.
To prepare the chassis for the seating system
we recommend that you raise the chassis to
a comfortable working height by pressing the
foot lever shown.
11.4 Height adjustment
– Hi-Low chassis
You can carry out this adjustment with the
child in the chair. To adjust the height of the
Hi-low chassis press the foot lever (A) at the
rear of the chassis whilst holding the push
handle (B). Once you remove your foot
from the pedal the seat will be fixed at the
chosen height.
For safety the height adjustment pedal on the
chassis can be locked by engaging the pull
pin (C) on the right hand side of the pedal. To
unlock pull the pin out and rotate 90 degrees.
The pedal can then be operated. The locking
pin (C) should be kept in the locked position
when you are not adjusting the chassis.
Always keep the locking pin engaged
when you are not adjusting the chassis.
This will prevent the foot pedal being
operated accidentially.
