Hip Spica special needs childrens car seats (CDH/DDH)

We have for many years been supporting parents and children who find at an early age that they have Hip dysplasia. This often means that a seat being used at the time by the child will not be suitable when a cast or splint is fitted.

The In-Car Safety Centre offers a service during this often-short period of ‘special need’.

Due to the weight and shape of the cast, its positioning on the child’s body, normally parents find their existing seat will not accommodate the child.
The 2-Way Elite is a seat that in most cases will accommodate a child in this position. The seat has an extended crotch strap and additional padding to lift the bottom and support the back.

The seat must be used rear facing. Apart from being safer it's also the only way for the child to travel in a comfortable position.

We offer the seat in two ways, through a loan scheme or through outright purchase.

LOAN SCHEME.

This is where we provide a seat, delivering and collecting to and from your door by courier. The seat comes ready to use, with instructions and helpline number for fitting if required. The cost of this is £196.75, for the period it is required. This includes a deposit of £86.75, which is refunded when the seat is return to us with all parts present.

PURCHASE.

The 2 Way Elite is a standard child's car seat suitable for Children from 9-25Kgs. It is simply modified for this purpose.
The seat is provided, prepared for use with the Hip Spica at a cost of £196.75, with instructions as above. We also provide the original crotch strap, which replaces the one fitted to the seat for ‘normal’ use.
2-Way Elite. It provides a temporary solution for your problem, then may be converted for use in the normal way.
