Optimal Positioning with Tilt and Recline

The Sphynx provides versatile positioning options to support a child's postural and comfort needs. With a fixed (yet adjustable) tilt and a tool-free adjustable recline, it adapts as the child grows, promoting both stability and engagement.

Tilt for Postural Support and Stability

The Sphynx's static tilt can be set at 10°, 20°, or 30°, ensuring the right level of support for each child's needs.

• 10° Tilt – Ideal for children with good trunk control, promoting an upright posture and maximizing independence during transfers.
• 20° Tilt – Balances stability and independence, helping reduce sliding while maintaining visual engagement with the environment.
• 30° Tilt – Provides greater postural support and pressure management, using gravity to assist with trunk elongation, pelvic positioning, and head alignment.

Tilt adjustments require tools and can be modified as the child's positioning needs change over time.

Recline for Comfort and Functionality

The Sphynx features a tool-free adjustable recline (85° to 100°) that allows quick modifications to the seat-to-back angle.

• Supports feeding, digestion, and respiratory function by allowing subtle position changes.
• Enhances comfort and visual orientation by adjusting posture as needed.
• Enables caregivers to make instant adjustments without tools, ensuring convenience and ease of use.

With its adaptable tilt and easy-to-use recline, the Sphynx provides the flexibility needed to support children in their daily activities while promoting proper posture and comfort.
