    Key Features

    • Universal Size: The side lyer is designed to accommodate a wide age range, from preschool-aged children to adolescents. Its dimensions are typically a 42" long by 23" wide base, with a 9" high backrest and a 14" deep body section.

    • Angled Base: The base of the side lyer is uniquely angled upward. This feature utilizes gravity to help position and stabilize the child, minimizing the need for constant monitoring by a caregiver or therapist.

    • Soft, Adjustable Straps: The product includes two soft, adjustable straps that allow for a wide range of positioning options. These straps can be infinitely adjusted to provide a secure and comfortable fit for the user.

    • Durable and Hygienic: Like other Tumble Forms products, the side lyer has a seamless, "butter-soft" upholstery that is non-toxic, anti-microbial, and resistant to odors, urine, and stains. This makes it easy to clean and sanitize for use in various settings. It is also latex-free.

    • Promotes Developmental Goals: Side-lying is a fundamental developmental building block for activities like rolling and crawling. The side lyer helps to decrease abnormal extension, maintain shoulder protraction, and bring the arms to a midline position, all of which are important for developing gross and fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination.

    • Optional Accessories: The side lyer can be used with optional accessories such as block modules (not included) that can be used as a headrest or for leg abduction.

    Uses

    The Tumble Forms 2 Universal Side Lyer is an effective tool for a variety of uses in home, school, and clinical settings:

    • Positioning: It is primarily used to position neurologically impaired children and adolescents in a secure and comfortable side-lying position. This is particularly useful during rest or short periods of inactivity.

    • Therapy and Rehabilitation: Therapists use the side lyer to facilitate a number of therapeutic goals, including improving head control, enhancing arm and hand function, and encouraging proper body alignment. It is also used to help break extensor patterns and promote flexion.

    • Gross and Fine Motor Skills Development: The side-lying position helps to put a child in a position that encourages them to engage their hands at the midline, which is a crucial step for developing fine motor skills and coordination.

    • Postural Drainage: It can be used for postural drainage, a technique used in physical therapy to help clear secretions from the lungs.

    • Reduced Caregiver Strain: The product's design, which uses gravity and includes adjustable straps, minimizes the amount of time a caregiver needs to spend actively monitoring the child's position.
