Re: [Clicky Hips Club] Car Seats for Hip Spica babies!   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #2332 of 2500 |
Hi Alison

We had the Britax Clubclass car seat and this worked really well when Emily was
in her spica. We spoke to Britax and they sent us an extension strap at a cost
of £5. They don't manufactuer the clubclass carseat anymore, but I do know they
still supply the extension strap, so it may be worth giving them a call.

I have a highchair and pushalong car that Emily used when she was trussed up and
they are both available. I live in Warrington Cheshire just along the M62! If
you are interested let me know. Unfortunately, I loaned out the car seat last
week.

How is Ella coping with the cast? How are you coping? If you need any advise
or support just ask....

Take care
Sara x

Subject: [Clicky Hips Club] Car Seats for Hip Spica babies!



Hi there, my name is Alison and I am mum to 8 month old Ella who has
just come home from hospital after having a closed reduction and a
hip spica cast fitted. Has anyone got any suggestions regarding
what car seats that are available, are suitable or adaptable for use
with a hip spica as we are having real problems and the hospital and
occupational therapy unit seem to offer no solutions. I have a
Britax Eclipse seat but the straps seem to be a problem as they are
not long enough, I have heard that maybe Britax can supply straps
but not sure if these are available for only selected models? Any
advise or if in fact anyone in the yorkshire area has any equipment
they no longer require that they would be willing to loan on to me
then please please let me know, I would be grateful. Thanks for
listening to me, best of luck to you all, Alison XX
