A great Lunch & Learn with the Ealing Paediatric Occupational Therapy team! 🌟

Last week, Jo Rivas from our TPA team joined 16 of the service’s OTs for one of their team training days. They put together a hands-on session around the products they wanted to explore: our Juni with hi-lo base, Indigo and Asiento.

It was a cosy space, so there was plenty of squeezing in, but that didn’t stop everyone getting stuck in. The team sat in the chairs, tried the adjustments and talked through how each one could support the children and young people they work with. The Asiento in particular sparked lots of interest and great questions.

Sessions like this are one of our favourite parts of what we do. Hearing directly from therapists about the needs they see every day helps us make sure our seating keeps making a real difference.
A huge thank you to the Ealing team for having us, and for such a warm welcome! 🙌

If your team would like a Lunch & Learn, get in touch with us. We’d love to come and see you.

Which Asiento seat is right? Start with what you see in the assessment.

Our three seat cushions are each matched to how the person sits:

☑️ Slides forward, or sits in posterior pelvic tilt? Ramped
☑️ Needs lower-limb support to hold a stable midline? Contoured
☑️ An active sitter who moves to reach and engage? Flat

Every Asiento is built around the pelvis. Choose the seat that gives the right foundation, then add only the support the person needs.

Already have an Asiento? The new cushions fit chairs already in service, so you can upgrade the seat, not the chair.

Cushion choice should always be confirmed through a clinical seating assessment.

Proud to support our partners at Pediatric Mobility Innovations 💚

This week our team visited PMI's brand-new facility in Lexington, South Carolina, where they've installed a Smirthwaite changing table to serve the children and families who rely on them.

PMI is a pediatric durable medical equipment specialist, providing custom wheelchairs, standing and gait devices, transit seating, specialty beds and bathroom aids for children with complex needs. Making room for a dedicated, dignified changing space in their new building says a lot about how much they care about the everyday experience of the families who walk through their doors.

As a South Carolina distributor, we're grateful to work alongside providers like PMI who put children and caregivers first. Congratulations on the new space!

Great posture starts with the right setup. ✏️

Buddy Bear knows a good seat makes all the difference! 🧸 A well-fitted desk helps children sit comfortably, reach what they need and stay focused through the school day. Our desks and tables are designed with therapists and educators to work in busy classrooms and therapy spaces.

Standing is about more than getting upright.

Regular, supported standing can help children take part at eye level with their classmates, and many therapists include it as part of a daily routine. Our paediatric standing range is built to be adjustable, stable and easy for carers to use.

Talk to our team about finding the right fit.
