The lightweight yet robust frame is designed for everyday use. The seat can be flexibly adjusted to accommodate the child’s or teenager’s body dimensions and individual needs.
The seat is securely attached to the frame, helping ensure user safety during movement.
Important: Before placing the child or teenager in the seat, always make sure that it is correctly and securely attached to the frame. Hold the seat firmly and carefully try to lift it. If the seat does not move, it is securely fixed.
