FAQ
Question: Is the Wiggle Seat safety certified?
Answer: The Wiggle Seat is a unique concept that does not fall within current ASTM safety standards. It is intended for supervised use only and parents should determine the suitability for use based on their child's behavior. Children should be prevented from climbing up the back of the chair or attempting to stand on the seat. Children should not be allowed to swing excessively in the seat. Our own children have been safely using their Wiggle Seat everyday for well over a year now.
Question: Does it come with a safety harness?
Answer: The intent is for a child to be able to move their bodies and stand if needed. A safety harness may be appropriate for some children, but we don't recommend it. A few of the therapists currently using the Wiggle Seat have recommended we include one, and a 3-point safety harness can be provided on request.
Question: Is there a Wiggle Seat for older and larger kids over 60 pounds?
Answer: There has been a lot of requests for this and we are actively developing a safe solution and working on a prototype. Please stay tuned!
Question: Is there a Wiggle Seat with a high back for children with low tone?
Answer: Not yet. This is something we are looking into.
As a pediatric SLP this looks amazing. I can think of several children who currently attend speech and/or feeding therapy who would benefit from one of these chairs. The price point, however, makes it something that will keep it out of reach of many of us in private practice. I will definitely need to save my pennies in order to add this to my little space.
Any chance you can expand your videos to show how it can be adjusted for different sized kiddos? I saw a comment that said it was easy to do, but I can't quite grasp it from just looking at the pictures.
