Description

The latest addition to Krabat’s range of active children’s chairs is the Krabat Jockey Lite. Featuring a compact and modern undercarriage design, it excels in usability, especially in limited spaces. This chair is height-adjustable and allows tilting of the seat. Available in three sizes—size 1 for children aged 2-6 years, size 2 for children aged 6-14 years, and size 3 for youth aged 14-18 years—the Jockey Lite’s saddle seat design encourages a more upright position, making it ideal for use in kindergarten and school.

Sitting on a saddle seat offers various physiological benefits:

1. The open hip angle helps achieve a neutral pelvic position, maintaining the natural S-curve of the spine over time.
2. Centering of all major joints in the lower extremities promotes normal muscle tone and length.
3. The hip joint rests in its optimal position, preventing complications like muscle contractures, hip pain, and subluxations.
4. An active, upright sitting position proves superior to a passive, slumped posture.

The saddle seat allows for natural lower body movement, minimising the need for excessive upper body support. This promotes freedom of movement and enables dynamic therapy activities. The neutral pelvis position maintained by the saddle system preserves the spine’s natural curvature and normalises muscle tone. This sitting position helps prevent muscle tightness, hip pain, and joint issues.
