I am a paediatric Dietitian, and my team have had the opportunity to trial this chair in our clinic. My team reports that many children are finding the chair very comfortable to sit on, and are often less wriggly as a result. The chair is more adjustable than any other chairs I have seen on the market, and I can see it would have many possible applications in the home setting for young children, children with disability and also in the school setting. We will continue to trial the chair in our clinic. Really wonderful innovation.
After finding the chair on social media, I was really impressed with the speed, professionalism and explanation of the features of the chair to me as a parent. I spoke with our child’s OT. They were so impressed they had ordered one and had it delivered by our next appointment. My child found the chair really comfortable, it was easy to adjust, the back rests allowed them to fidget discreetly while sitting, and it was easy to move. “It’s amazing, and it looks more like a regular chair than the others we’ve tried.” The chair has been really easy to adjust during therapy sessions and looks much less like medical equipment than so many other options. We will be looking to purchase our own in the future. Really appreciate the responsiveness to questions via social media. Great to see a local product filling a gap in the market.
I’ve had the MAIA chair for a few weeks in my paediatric clinic and tested it on a wide range of kids aged 6 to 15 years. They love it!! It’s super easy to adjust to match leg length and trunk height, and the feedback I’m getting is it’s super comfy too. Thanks so much for this great addition to my feeding therapy sessions!
