We are excited to announce the relaunch of our monthly paediatric car clinics across the United Kingdom. These clinics provide accessible, expert guidance and assessments for children requiring specialist car seating and in-vehicle postural support.
The monthly clinics will be held at the William Merrit Centre in Leeds and at the RDAC in Hampton, Arden, bringing Smirthwaite’s renowned expertise closer to families and professionals who need it most. Each clinic will offer free, no-obligation assessments conducted by Smirthwaite’s highly experienced Product Advisors. These assessments are crucial for identifying the most appropriate and safest car seat and positioning solutions tailored to each child’s unique needs, ensuring their comfort, safety, and inclusion during travel.
“We’re incredibly passionate about making a real difference in the lives of children with special needs, and safe, comfortable travel is a fundamental part of that,” said Derek York, Commercial Manager at Smirthwaite. “Our monthly car clinics are a direct response to the growing demand for accessible, expert advice on paediatric car seating. We understand the challenges families face, and by bringing these clinics to communities across the UK, we hope to make the process of finding the right equipment as straightforward and stress-free as possible.”
The clinics will provide an invaluable opportunity for parents, carers, occupational therapists, and physiotherapists to:
• Receive personalised assessments of a child’s seating and postural needs in a vehicle.
• Explore a range of specialist car seats and in-vehicle positioning aids.
• Gain expert advice on installation, adjustment, and long-term use of equipment.
• Ask questions and address specific concerns in a dedicated, supportive environment.
These clinics underscores Smirthwaite’s ongoing commitment to enhancing the quality of life for children and young adults with special needs in both home and educational environments. By offering these regular, clinics, Smirthwaite reinforces its dedication to accessible support and empowers families to make informed decisions about their child’s mobility and safety.
