New and improved.

Features
Children with vestibular or tactile hyposensitivity may exhibit movement-seeking or sensory-seeking behavior. The Compass Chair is designed and tested to withstand continuous rocking movements.
Shorten the rear legs to add more recline, and assist a child to slide to the back of the seat with a gravity-assisted cue to remain seated in the chair. Shorten the front legs to add a forward tilt to contribute to postural control, access to a table or desk, and a more attentive, focused sitting position.
High armrests provide upper body support and aid in transfer.
Components
Clip the optional seat belt into the seat when needed by a particular user for safety or postural support. Remove it when not needed.
