    Movin' Sit Junior

    This triangular wedge-shaped inflatable cushion is designed to promote correct seated posture. The wedge shape is particularly helpful for children who have low muscle tone.

    These cushions are also an effective way to provide children with sensory input whilst they are seated, as the inflatable material allows children to wriggle.
