Once someone is taller than 150cm they are too big for a conventional car seat, with all its associated support. Our Voyageur motability belt system means that problem is solved, quickly and unobtrusively.
The inventors themselves have a disabled child. It was their own personal experience that inspired the development of Voyageur, when their child grew too tall for a conventional car seat.
The resulting system is simple.
It comprises just two elements- the Seat Grid tether system and X-Posture Suit of positioning safety belts. You secure each element simply by magnetic buckles, so it is quick for you to attach, fit, and release- even with one hand. You don't even need any tools.
Although designed primarily for car usage, you can attach the universal-sized Seat Grid to any seat where the straps can be passed between base cushion and back.
X-Posture Suit’s belt configuration with shoulder and hip straps means your loved one's torso is secure, stable laterally and vertically and correctly positioned. You achieve abduction to the thighs and stability to the pelvis.
Voyageur is available in two sizes depending on the user’s waist and thigh dimensions.
"Voyageur extends the horizons for so many people who need postural support," says Peter Wingrave, AAT Director.
“So long as there is a suitable seat for Voyageur, it can provide the stable and comfortable support needed to safely enjoy sedentary activity.
"Its use extends beyond going out in the car- sailing, cycling, flying to name a few!”
Voyageur sits alongside our Stabilo range of innovative postural support cushions, including the infinitely adjustable Chilli Bean vacuum posture seat.
