The “Bumps”
Portable Car Seat Pelvic Supports
Following our “retirement move” I can no longer supply
these. I hope to find a new supplier soon.
Instructions for making
your own.
These two pictures show where
the support should be on the pelvis. The pad at the top of the seat on one
picture is there to ensure that the only other contact with the back rest is at
the level of the shoulder blades. (Note
the Don’t in Do’s and Dont’s. “Never sit with any
support for the Lumbar or lower thoracic spine!”) The bumps can of course be
moved up or down for comfort in the course of a journey.
Use of the Bumps.
1) Sit your pelvis well back
into the seat.
2) Lean forward and push one
bump into place just below belt level. Then the other one so that they meet
together in the middle as in the picture above.
3) Lean back in comfort.
