"We've been using her Firefly Playpak during Portage sessions. It keeps her safe and supported while she plays, explores and learns. The different arrangements the Playpak offers means we can place her in the best position for the activity or game she's working on, which is keeping her engaged longer and sneaking in some cheeky physio at the same time."

"The Playpak helps Elliot stay on his side so he can focus on bringing his hands together to play and practice reaching and grasping. Being in this position also gives his eyes chance to focus on the object in front of him so he can try to process what it is! 👏🏼💪🏼✨ It’s modular so I can add bits in and out; and he also uses it for lying down and keeping his head in a good position! It also folds away into a carrier which means I can take it anywhere with me!"

Playpak FAQs
-
What is the difference between Playpak and Leckey’s Early Activity System, (EAS)?
Playpak has taken the concept of Leckey’s EAS and simplified it for regular use within a family environment. Portability, affordability, and development through family participation were key objectives when designing Playpak.
The EAS continues to be more clinically focused and larger product, containing components which facilitate more complex therapeutic positions, such as side-lying and four-point kneeling. The Activity Development Program is a comprehensive printed booklet that comes with the purchase of an EAS. It is designed to allow therapists to work through activities with parents, as part of an early development program.

How do I know if Playpak is suitable for my child?
Playpak has been designed for babies and kids with additional needs ranging from birth to approximately 48 months and Gross Motor Function Classification Scale (GMFCS) levels I-V, depending on their level of physical development.
In its most basic function, Playpak facilitates back lying, which is the most fundamental and secure position from which to work on physical, cognitive, sensory, and communication skills that provide the building blocks to more complex skills for your child. As a result, Playpak should be suitable for them to use, however if you are in any doubt, consult your therapist for advice.

How long should I use Playpak for each session?
You may find your child likes some positions/ activities more than others, and these will most likely be the ones they are happy and able to do for longer. This may depend on whether your child’s muscles are tight (high tone) or floppy (low tone), their level of development, or tolerance of certain positions.
Some positions may need to be avoided for medical reasons, and others will need to be encouraged, even if your child is not keen at the start. Some positions may not be medically advisable for your child.
It is important that, if in any doubt, you take advice from your therapist(s) about the best position which to place your child and for how long. If your child is in any discomfort, take them out of that position and either have a rest or try something a little easier. Bear in mind that the time of day and your child’s mood will also have an effect on how long it will be appropriate to use Playpak for each session.

Is there any reason why I should not use Playpak with my child?
There are so many possibilities for simple, safe play and development activities with Playpak that we do not anticipate any problems. However, as some positions may not be medically recommended for your child to use, it is very important that you seek advice from your therapist(s) if you are in any doubt about the best position(s) to place your child in.
