Does anyone have any information on a chair or Bee Chair - for seating an 11month old, its hard to get some sort of seating for him that doesnt involve walkers etc that you can buy in the shops. He needs support but is too big for the bumbo chair.

ruby has a Bee chair i had mine through my occupational therapist she borrowed it from the red cross.Its a really good chair as it has a playtray on the front and it can change position to the height you require.It also has wheels so i can wheel ruby round the downstairs of my home and i,m waiting to have a ramp put outside my home so i can take her into the garden.
I would speak to an OT i think my Gp referred me to her that way they will assess your home and give you the equipment that you need. They have also given me a bath aid as rubys so heavy she currently weighs just under 2 stone and shes 11 months old!!.

What is a stone in lb or kg? The converter app on my cellphone doesn't do stones.
