Manufacturer's Product Description
The TravelChair is a unique chair that fits into a standard airline seat giving firm, postural support for disabled children whilst they travel by air. It is suitable for children from 3 - 11 years (depending on their size and weight). The adjustable headrest, footrest and body harness provide various levels of postural support which can allow even severely disabled children the option to fly. The TravelChair can be purchased or hired by the general public via the www.tryb4ufly.co.uk service. It is also available through some airlines who offer the product as part of their service at no extra cost. It is essential that passengers check availability with the airline they wish to fly with before make a booking.
