Starlight-NXT  

      Car Seat

Fully adjustable special purpose car seat which offers excellent postural support and an inbuilt tilt function

The Starlight-NXT child car seat was developed to support children with additional needs and their families.

The Starlight-NXT is specially designed for very small children, hence a double piece back support pad to reduce seat depth. However to allow for growth in the child, an XL kit is available to grow the car seat when required. The Starlight-NXT is suitable for young children from 9kg, and will grow with the child right up to 36kg.

It is compatible with most vehicles and is designed to be installed in the back seat with the use of the vehicle’s 3-point safety belt. Additional to the vehicle’s seat belt, the Starlight-NXT comes with a 5-point padded harness to ensure optimum postural support and comfort.

The Starlight-NXT standard package includes:

• Backrest infill padding
• Soft shoulder padding
• Slim lateral trunk supports
• 20° tilt
• Swivel base system (left turning as standard)
• Grey upholstery
• 5 point comfort harness with shoulder and abdominal padding, and a centre pull adjuster

The slim design of the swivel base system allows for more space and headroom inside the car when transferring the client in and out of the vehicle, and only adds a mere 16mm to the overall height of the car seat!

Starlight-NXT Car Seat Introduction

Functional Benefits

Slim Swivel Base

To make transfers even easier, an innovative swivel base with a compact design is available to spin the seat so that the caregiver or parent does not strain their back lifting the user over the edge of the car seat. The pivot point on the swivel base is off-centre, so that when it is rotated, it simultaneously swivels away from the vehicle seat backrest and towards the vehicle door. This allows for easier transfers so that the caregiver does not have to reach as far into the vehicle. Because of this feature, the swivel base is available in both left and right side configurations.

 

20° of Tilt

The backrest angle of the Starlight-NXT is fixed at 90°, however the car seat also comes with an extended angular adjustment (10° - 20°), which is often very important for children with limited torso and head control.

Adjustable Lateral Supports

An innovative feature of the Starlight-NXT is the lateral supports. These are robust aluminium supports which guarantee the child a stable sitting position, and are adjustable in position.

Adjustable 5-Point Harness

The Starlight-NXT comes with a 5-point padded harness to ensure optimum postural support and comfort, complete with shoulder padding and padded tee-pad. The harness has a "one-action" adjustment feature to adjust the strap length from one centre pull adjuster to allow for growth.
