Hi.

Amy is now 10 months old, and had an adductor tenotomy, closed reduction and hip
spica fitted 6 weeks ago (changing it tomorrow!! Yipppeee!!! Half way through!!)
We're using a Britax Elite car seat, which is fab - and we've found that the
crotch strap is well long enough (although we have an order form for an
extension strap, too - call Britax on 01264 386034 - option 4 on a touch-tone
phone for customer services). The guy at customer services told me that the
crotch strap is only for the Elite and the Trio (although what the difference
is, I can't tell!).

We also have a Cossatto (Babies R Us own brand, I think) Toronto pushchair,
which is fab too cos with a cushion behind her, she can sit up and see around
her.

Sorry for short reply - breakfast time. Hope everything settles down for you and
your little one very soon. Life is still lots of fun in a spica, believe me!!

Take care,

Barbara & Amy xxx

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
