car seat safety for cerebral palsey child

I am a school nurse, who cares for a cerebral palsy child. She if 5 years old, about 30 pounds and has minimal trunk support. Can you recommend a carseat style that would be appropriate for this child?

Hello-

It would probably be best to discuss your specific issues with an expert in child passenger safety for special needs children.

One resourse is the excellent staff at Children's Hospital of Illinois, (309) 655-6961.

If they cannot help you, they may be able to refer you to an expert near you who can provide more assistance.

I agree with Darren that finding someone who specializes in special needs seats is a must.

I do have minimal knowledge of what seats are available, but don't know which would be appropriate for someone with CP. Here are some links to familiarize yourself with the seats:
