Have you found that your special needs patient or child has difficulty riding comfortably in a car?  Do you dread long car trips for this reason?  Traveling safely with a special needs child or teenager can be challenging.  Whether you're a parent, a therapist, or other medical professional, your special needs children and teenagers deserve to travel in security and comfort like anyone else.  Convaid offers the Carrot 3 Child Restraint System to make your car trips with special needs children less stressful for you and more comfortable for them.

The Carrot 3 Child Restraint System Special Needs Car Seat by Convaid is a comprehensive support restraint system for children and teens with insufficient head, trunk, and pelvic stability.  It features free-angle reclining, which allows for increased comfort on longer car trips.  It also creates easier access for diaper changes and other associated clean-up.

How does Convaid separate the Carrot 3 from other restraint system seats on the market?  It features firm lateral supports that maintain positioning of the child or teenager's trunk, allowing for increased control of posture.  The depth-adjustable pommel improves alignment of the hips and posture stabilization by separating the hips to a more natural and comfortable position.  The headrest is built-in to the seat and is adjustable, offering more choices in positioning and improved safety while in transit.

The Carrot 3 can be used for safely and comfortably transporting your child or teenager for years to come.  This is because it grows with your child or teenager.  The Carrot 3 provides safety and comfort for children from 30 to 108 pounds and from 3 to 5 feet tall.  The Carrot 3 includes modular extensions and offers additional accessories that increase the seat size by 4 inches and the back of the seat by 11 inches.

The Carrot 3 is designed like the advanced security restraints in the super-fast and super-sleek Indy race cars.  Such design provides extra security against side impacts.  It is LATCH equipped (Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children), installation is trouble-free, and the various adjustments are easy to utilize.  The upholstery is simple to clean and comes in three color choices: red, black, or blue.

The Carrot 3 exceeds U.S. Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 213 (FMV SS 213) and meets the flammability code for automotive upholstery (FMV SS 302).  It is even certified for trips on airplanes!  It comes with a 5 year factory warranty and is sold in more than 16 countries, even becoming the top selling car seat in Europe.  You can have confidence in the quality of Convaid's Carrot 3 Child Restraint System.

Riding securely in cars or airplanes can be a challenge.  But your special needs child or teenager is a precious gift...one that you will do anything to protect.  Your child deserves the safety and security while riding.  At the same time, special needs children, regardless of their physical condition and posture challenges, also deserve the comfort that others enjoy.  Provide a safe, comfortable, and thus enjoyable riding experience for your special needs child.  It will open up opportunities for longer car or airplane trips...and open your child to experience the world more broadly.
