SECTION 07:
Important Guidelines
Ensure that Splashy BIG is sitting
securely in the bath. Recline the back
rest into a mid-recline position for
children who can assist with transfers
or are lifted into the bath. Please refer
to section 09.6.
Full recline should be used for children
who will be hoisted into the bath.
This should make transfers into
Splashy BIG easier.
We would advise you t the 5-point
harness and bumper supports to
Splashy BIG before you place the child
into the seat, however, they can be
adjusted if necessary once your child
is in the bath. Please exercise caution
and monitor your child closely whilst
alterations are being made to the
bath seat.
Lifting a child in and out of the bath is
an activity which could cause injury to
your back. We would recommend you
seek advice from your therapist with
regards to safe transfers (moving and
handling techniques) of your child
in and out of the bath.
