Description

Designed for users approximately 100–150 cm in height, the IPAI MAX combines tilt-in-space, stepless recline, adjustable lateral trunk supports and a secure 5-point harness to support safe, comfortable positioning during vehicle travel.

A 90° swivel base can make transfers easier for families and caregivers, while ISOFIX installation, tool-free adjustments and a range of modular accessories allow the seat to be configured around the individual user’s positioning and support needs.

Key Features

90° swivel base for easier transfers

The IPAI MAX features a 90° swivel base, allowing the car seat to rotate towards the vehicle door for transfers.

This can provide easier access when positioning the user and may help reduce awkward lifting and twisting for parents and caregivers.

Once the transfer is complete, the seat rotates back into the forward-facing travel position and locks securely in place.

Tilt-in-space positioning

Integrated tilt-in-space provides an additional positioning option for children and young people who require greater postural support during vehicle travel.

Tilt can assist with maintaining a supported position and may be beneficial for users who experience reduced endurance or difficulty maintaining an upright posture for extended periods.

Stepless backrest recline

The IPAI MAX incorporates a stepless recline system, allowing the backrest angle to be adjusted according to the user’s positioning requirements.

Combined with tilt-in-space, recline provides additional flexibility for supporting comfort and posture during longer journeys.

Adjustable lateral trunk supports

Integrated lateral trunk supports can be adjusted in:

  • Width
  • Height
  • Angle

This allows the supports to be positioned around the individual user’s trunk to promote midline alignment and improve stability while travelling.

Secure 5-point harness

A padded 5-point harness provides additional postural support and helps maintain the user’s position within the car seat.

The harness can assist with pelvic and trunk stability while providing secure positioning during vehicle travel.

Reduced-access buckle option

For users who may attempt to release their harness while travelling, an optional reduced-access buckle is available.

The buckle is designed to reduce unintended or inappropriate release of the harness and is supplied with an appropriate release tool.

This option should be clinically assessed to determine its suitability for the individual user.

Growth adjustable

The IPAI MAX is designed to accommodate growth, supporting users from approximately 100 to 150 cm in height.

The back height, seat depth and padding configuration can be adjusted as the child grows, helping the seating system remain appropriate over a longer period.

Tool-free adjustments

Several key adjustments can be completed without tools, including:

  • Tilt-in-space
  • ISOFIX depth adjustment

This helps simplify everyday setup and allows the seat position to be refined within the vehicle.

ISOFIX installation

The IPAI MAX uses ISOFIX for secure installation within a compatible vehicle.

ISOFIX is essential for installation, so vehicle compatibility should be confirmed as part of the assessment and trial process.

Modular positioning accessories

A comprehensive range of accessories allows the IPAI MAX to be tailored to individual positioning requirements.

Available options include:

  • Foot support
  • Medial thigh support
  • Seat depth extender
  • Upper limb support tray
  • Back cushion
  • Seat cushion
  • Lateral head cushions
  • Lateral pelvic cushions
  • Reduced-access buckle

These accessories allow additional support to be introduced according to the user’s posture, growth and functional requirements.
