A robust solution is essential for children, young people, and adults with physical and neurological disabilities to ensure their safety in the car. Hercules Prime US excels when adapted car seats become too small or when additional support is needed while sitting in the car. This positioning booster seat grows with the user, offering the familiar features of an adapted car seat and can be highly customized with a wide range of accessories that adapt as the user grows. When extra head and upper body support is required, a basic seatbelt system in the car is insufficient. This seat ensures a proper, safe sitting position on every journey.
