Question for Katie & Steve

Hi Katie, I provide personal care for a young adult (15) with severe spastic quadriplegic cerebral palsy. He has out grown his current car seat, but we are not ready to purchase a van with a lift. Do you know of car seats for adults or adapted captains chairs so that he can still sit in the regular seat? - Melissa

Hi Melissa:I just talked to Mike at United Access (314) 426-1010. He told me about a special seatbelt system made by IMEC. It is a strong and thick torso supportive belt. It can be attached to a captain's chair in a van. If you are not in the St. Louis area- another van conversion company could probably help you out.

Good Luck and thanks for being a caring caregiver!
