We have just finished another period with our daughter in a Spica cast, and our Smirthwaite Portable Spica Chair has served us well again.

Rather than let it sit in our garage until we know whether we need it again, we would like to lend it to someone to help them as they cost over £300 new.

If you would like to borrow it, then please drop us a message and we will place it with someone who needs it. We are in Guildford so bear in mind it will need transporting.

It would suit a child from 12mths to 4 yrs, and is fully adjustable.

Details of the chair are here

Hello,

We were told on Monday that our daughter will require a pelvic osteostomy at Southampton in October and would very much appreciate borrowing a spica chair - she is 2 1/2 now and small for her age so it should be ideal. We are in Basingstoke and could collect it from you at any time.

Hi there Sam

Sorry to hear you will have to go through another procedure, and of course the chair is available to you to borrow. I suggest you get in touch to confirm when you want to pick it up. Not sure if you want to do this now or nearer October, but let us know in case someone else wants to borrow it for a short time before then.

You can always give me a call.
