HowdaSEAT is a portable lightweight orthopedic chair for adults. It is made from American basswood, and a 100% cotton canvas covering that is placed over the slats. The HowdaSeat's flexibility and strength come from the lightweight nature of the wood. HowdaSeats are designed to embrace the back with recommended ergonomic support. HowdaSEAT is available in 2 sizes: medium and extra large. The extra large seat size is ideal for people with larger body frames who need a greater seating area for comfort.

The HowdaSeat's lightweight design lifts the entire upper body, relieving strain on the neck, shoulders, and back. The release straps make it simple to get into and out of cars. The ergonomically designed adjustable straps can be adjusted to go forward and backward to support particular back issues and/or the shape of the body while seated in different positions. The seat can be used in chairs, folding chairs, couches, airline seats, and cars as well as in front of computers, at the theater, and all places from home to the office.

Q. Do the slats come out? And can they be removed?
A.

• No, the slats cannot be removed. The slats are made from 100% American basswood which is always smooth and the lightest of the hardwoods, ideal for supporting weight.
• Please note that the HowdaSeats for adult back care are environmentally safe seats. The wood is not sealed to keep from using poly urethane.

Q. What is the Red, Yellow and Blue material that goes over the slates made of?
A. The material that goes over the slats is 100% cotton canvas

Q. Can the slats and the canvas of the HowdaSeat be cleaned?
A. Yes, here are some options for cleaning the wood slats:

• White vinegar is good for removing fingerprints, grime and general dirt. Mix a tablespoon of vinegar into a spray bottle containing a few ounces of water, then squirt the solution onto the affected area, wiping away with a damp cloth. Wipe the cleaned area with a dry cloth.
• A squirt or two of natural dish soap mixed with lukewarm water in serves as a mild cleaner for the wood. Dip a soft cloth or sponge into the solution and wring most of the liquid out so the cloth is only damp. Wipe again with a clean damp cloth.
• Using a small amount of detergent and water, wipe canvas, brush off and let dry, preferably outdoors or in a warm area.
• Note: Do not wrap the HowdaSeat inside plastic bags and leave them outside or in any area where there is moisture. Moisture will gather inside the bag and the seat and canvas may mold. If that happens, use a small amount of bleach, watered down, and dab the seat and leave to dry.

Q. How tight should the straps be?
A. It varies per child. Some children love them pulled tight allowing them to have more hug embrace or to sit in a "cone V" while in circle time. It's amazing how helpful it can be but tightening them should be the teacher doing it, as they straps are purposefully hard to tighten or loosen so there's less fidget activity. They are also D-rings that are made not to release, like the adult seats so, for the same reason.

Q. Can I use the HowdaSEAT on different types of chairs?
A. Yes, the HowdaSEAT is versatile and can be used on various seating surfaces, including office chairs, sofas, outdoor furniture, and even directly on the floor.

Q. Is the HowdaSEAT suitable for travel?
A. Absolutely. The HowdaSEAT is lightweight (weighing less than 4 lbs depending on the model) and can be rolled up to a compact size, making it convenient for travel, outdoor events, and even airplane use.

Q. Are there accessories to enhance the comfort of the HowdaSEAT?
