* In addition, there are two Seat Cushion sizes allowing the seat width and depth to be increased for an average of 7 years of growth, without having to buy a complete new seating system after 3 or 4 years

Adjustments
* The Seat Cushions use hook and loop and a track system for easy adjustment
* The HipFlex? adjustment provides a range of positions between 15 degrees of hip flexion and 15 degrees of hip extension without reclining the seat back
* This system allows true seat back angle adjustments while maintaining upper body alignment by changing the orientation of the child's pelvis
