Description
Savaria calls the spacer the fabric it prefers when a sling may be left in place, because the structure spreads load. Confirm leave-in-place with a risk assessment. A padded neck roll is part of the head support.
Fit
Divided legs, sliding hip tapes and the thoracic wrap are how the sling is sized to the child. The buckle closes with a click. Seven codes: M921537-XXXS, XXS, XS, S, M, L and XL. The size on this page is extra small, M921537-XS.
- Safe working load 485 lb (220 kg). That is the sling rating. The child's weight and the floor lift or ceiling lift limit still govern the transfer.
- Wash cooler than the adult polyester slings: 159 F (71 C). Tumble dry on low, no hotter than 50 C.
- Full-body adult shapes are with the other slings. This page is the pediatric Tinkham only.
Ordering
Tell us the child's size and whether the bar takes loops. The studio photo on the maker page shows an adult model. The product text is pediatric.

- Lifts we sold are checked through service.
