>>>>>>>>>>Why do you not put Kam in a tumble forms chair?  I'm wondering
'cause 
we have one right now for Keren and it seems to be the only chair which 
she can sit in really comfortably.  We did put a rolled towel under her 
bottom, though, so she'd be sitting more straight....is that the 
problem with them?  I want to make sure we aren't putting her in 
something we'll regret later! :)<<<<<<



the tumble forms chairs are great, unless the child has a problem with
lordosis and kyphosis, then the chair just allows them into the  bad
curves their spines are taking, its comfortable but if your child is
having spinal issues you want them in a chair that is encouraging good
posture, think cushy easy boy verse an orthotic chair
