The SafeGuard STAR Special Needs offers the same protection as the standard STAR, with the extended ability to accommodate children with a wide range of special health care needs. With its five-point restraint system and extra support accessories, the STAR Special Needs is a convenient, cost-effective solution to keeping special needs children properly positioned and secured for the ride.
Ensuring children with special needs are properly positioned during transportation protects airways, provides support, promotes posture and functional positions, and simply makes them more comfortable.
