Enhancing Mobility: Providing a reliable and safe means of transport, leading to enhanced mobility and greater independence.

Promoting Physical Comfort: Offering the necessary support to ensure physical comfort and mitigate the risk of postural deformities or secondary complications associated with inadequate seating.

Fostering Inclusion: Encouraging active engagement and participatory inclusiveness in family and community activities, which contributes to the child's overall social and developmental progress.
