- Bed: The bed should be flat and bed rails must be up. Support the seat with pillows as needed to prevent tipping over.

- If your child’s head falls forward, move the seat angle on the wedge to a less upright position.

- Use small rolled up blankets on each side of the head to keep head in the middle if needed.

Cleaning

If the seat gets dirty, use Sani-Cloth wipes with gloves. Soap and warm water can also be used. If the straps get dirty, ask your nurse or therapist for new ones.
