Bath Seat for Children with Cerebral Palsy
Many parents have a hard time finding the right bath seat for their children living with cerebral palsy. Often times simply laying a child down in the water isn’t an option because of chronic ear infections. With smaller children most bath seats are simply to big or require the tub to be over filled. If you really need or want to use a bath seat, many parents with small children like this bath seat, or similar ones for children who cannot sit by themselves. Look for a seat with a high back and adjustable hand rails as well as ways to secure your child safely and comfortably.
Most insurance will cover the cost. If you need help with insurance you can always contact one of our Live CareCenter Specialists, who can provide support or advice.
