About a month ago, Alex got a new Stokke Tripp Trapp chair to better position him at the table. The design is ingeniously simple, as you can see from this video (which comes with an extra helping of Alex/teddy bear cuteness on the side):
Previously, Alex was sitting in a Wenzelite Seat2Go strapped into a regular kitchen chair. It was bulky to move, and because there was no foot rest, every time his spasticity made him straighten out his body (which happens every time he gets excited), his butt would scooch forward a little, which would leave him in a slouched position. It also forced him into a reclining position, and was difficult to clean because it was made of fabric. The Tripp Trapp chair is light, gets him right up to the table in a good position, and is easy to clean.
It’s relatively
easy to assemble; I figured it out in about 45 minutes. You can price them at Amazon
, although you might find them cheaper elsewhere. Thanks to Alex's godparents for once again stepping in to help out!
