Smirthwaite launches innovative paediatric car seat for children with additional needs
Specialist equipment manufacturer Smirthwaite, which designs equipment for children and young adults with additional needs, has launched its innovative paediatric car seat, the SIMON car seat.
Created to ensure every child feels secure, comfortable, and can relax during the journey. This new product offers first class safety features guaranteed to the latest provisions of ECE R129/03. The distinctive attributes of its components are denoted by the additional “S” designation on the approval plate, where ‘S’ signifies special needs.
Smirthwaite says the SIMON car seat is crafted to ensure every child feels safe, comfortable, and maintains an optimal position throughout the journey.
Features include a fully adjustable backrest and seat depth width, enabling the seat to adapt to a child’s changing needs. Smirthwaite says the innovative adjustable bucket seat system, incorporated into the base, provides unique tilt functionality.
Robust and adjustable multi positional side supports are also provided, Smirthwaite added. Additionally, the integration of speakers into the head support offers the option of playing soothing music to aid in children’s relaxation.
This unique seat is the result of years of extensive research and crash tests in a certified laboratory, collaboration among engineers, material experts, designers, a medical team and parents says Smirthwaite.
Claire Litton, Smirthwaite Managing Director, added: “We’re extremely excited to launch this new paediatric innovation. Its modern design using the latest technology places safety first. Join Smirthwaite in providing your children with a secure and enjoyable ride in absolute comfort.”
Smirthwaite recently announced the appointment of Piers Tweedie who will be taking on the role of Operations Director.
