SECTION 07:
Important Guidelines
Ensure that Splashy BIG is sitting
securely in the bath. Recline the back
rest into a mid-recline position for
children who can assist with transfers
or are lifted into the bath. Please refer
to section 09.6.
Full recline should be used for children
who will be hoisted into the bath.
This should make transfers into
Splashy BIG easier.
We would advise you t the 5-point
harness and bumper supports to
Splashy BIG before you place the child
into the seat, however, they can be
adjusted if necessary once your child
is in the bath. Please exercise caution
and monitor your child closely whilst
alterations are being made to the
bath seat.
Lifting a child in and out of the bath is
an activity which could cause injury to
your back. We would recommend you
seek advice from your therapist with
regards to safe transfers (moving and
handling techniques) of your child
in and out of the bath.

the oorsitter
The oorsitter should always be
placed on a rm, solid, static surface.
When placing the oorsitter on your
chosen surface, it’s vital that all
rubber feet are in contact with
the surface. Whilst the stabiliser is not
needed when using the Splashy BIG in
the bathtub, it is important to ensure it
is fully rotated to its, “locked”, position
when outside the bathtub.

09.3.1 Adjusting the
bumpers to
provide support
in various places
The bumpers can be used as:
1. Head supports – place a bumper
on the right and left side of your
child’s head.
2. Neck support – place a bumper
sideways at the nape of your
child’s neck.
3. Pommel – place a bumper between
your child’s legs (helps to prevent
criss crossing).
4. Leg guides – place a bumper on the
right and left side of your child’s legs
(helps to prevent them falling over
the side of the bath seat).
5. Anti–slide shelf – place a bumper
sideways on the base of the bath
seat in front of your child’s bottom
(helps to prevent your child’s bottom
from sliding forward in the seat).
Some children may nd sitting in
Splashy BIG more comfortable if a
bumper is placed in front of the
groin strap.
