High-low:xo

High-low:xo

This indoor/outdoor frame for a seating system features user-friendly height adjustment from floor to table height. That height adjustment allows the user to be positioned close to the floor or at table height and enables them to be at eye level with their peers or to join in at the dinner table with their family. Adjusting the height and tilt of the seat during standing or seated transfers might be the little extra that enables the user to be active during transfers to and from the seat, either independently or by means of a caregiver or an assistive device. In addition, the caregiver can adjust the height when supporting the child in various tasks.
