Buy HowdaHug Seats and Bags online from Skillbuilders Australia
Skillbuilders is an exclusive distributor of the HowdaHug seats in Australia. The HowdaHug seats have been around for a long time for adults, but are more recently available to children. Howdahug seats were originally designed as a recreational/camping chair which rolls up easily for storage. However, they have proved to be a fantastic option for kids at mat time! Movement seekers can get that bit of vestibular input they need by rocking. Extra proprioception is provided by the way the seat 'hugs' the body. The HowdaHug Seat is also a very practical way to provide postural support to the child with low muscle tone.
The HowdaHug seat is available in 3 sizes.
* The Petite is 33cm wide and 33cm high (for children approx 3-6 years)
* The HowdaHug 2 is 35cm wide and 39cm high (for children approx 5-10yrs, children with tall, slim build)
* The HowdaHug Regular is 40.5cm wide and 39cm high (for children approx 7-12 yrs)
Larger adult sizes are available. There are medium (42cm wide) and large sizes (48cm wide) both are 39cm high. We will order these in specifically for you on request so there will be a delay in you receiving your order. Please go ahead and choose the adult option on the website, then we will contact you to confirm your choice of size.
Carry Bags are available in red.
Shearling Liners are an added option to help make the Howdahug Seat super comfy!
The Shearling Liner provides soft comfort to the back and bottom and is a treat for our “sensory” children who respond well to softness against their bodies. Select your liner based on the size of howdahug chair you already own or are purchasing today.
Care for the Shearling Liner: The Shearling Liner is washable in cold water – do not use a dryer for drying, air dry.
The HowdaHug Seats are popular in schools particularly for children with SPD (Sensory Processing Disorder), Autism and ADD/ADHD. As quoted by a teacher working with students with special needs:
"The HowdaHUG chair has been well received by students in my young autism class. It helps them sit and attend during floor time group activities. It also has been very helpful during individual work times to get them focused and reduce elopement. It allows for sensory breaks through rocking and pushing without needing to transition away from the work area".
