at floor level. If a footplate is used in any other setting we
recommend a risk assessment is carried out (and reviewed
as the child grows) and a carer holds the back of the seat
while the child transfers in and out of the seat. For additional
stability the anti-rocker skis can be attached to the legs.

self transfer. We recommend a risk assessment is carried
out (and reviewed as the child grows) and a carer holds the
back of the seat while the child transfers in and out of the
seat.

need to be stabilised by a carer while the child transfers in

wipes or disinfectant solution mix (1 part
bleach to 10 parts water) from brands such as:
GERMWARFARE ® & Choroclean ®.
Most stains, e.g. food and drinks or urine will
