Raising a child is not an easy job. Giving them the best care possible has many different challenges. As children grow and develop, additional challenges and expenses are incurred. They outgrow clothing before they wear it out. Car seats need to be replaced with booster seats. For parents of children with physical disabilities, the cost of specialized equipment such as special needs strollers, wheelchairs, shower commode chairs and adapted vans are added burdens. These children, not only outgrow their clothes, they also outgrow some of their special needs equipment. Although many special needs devices can accommodate a child's growth, the capability for growth, is limited. The adaptability of a shower chair is crucial when one considers that, between the ages of 5 and 19, the average female will grow in height from roughly 109cm to 163cm while the average male grows from about 110cm to 175cm.
