Hippo seat.

We were contacted today at work about a 6 month old baby with a broken femur. From what I understand baby was transported home from the hospital via patient transport. Mom now needs a seat to get baby to their many doctors appointments. Apparently baby does not fit in their current seat with their cast (I don't know what seat they have). We were thinking a hippo seat would be the best choice. My boss is working now to see if she can get one some where. She's going to try contacting some other hospitals to see if they rent them and she's going to contact our safe kids and NHTSA contacts to see if they can help us locate one quickly. So my question is would this be the best seat for baby? If someone knows how we can get hold of one of these seats quickly please let me know.

Thanks.

Sometimes a Radian with a bit of padding behind the bum will work, depending on how the child is casted. If semi-sitting a Radian may work.

Yeah, I was thinking maybe a radian would work. I was also thinking maybe a Classic MA since it looks very much like the Hippo seat.

Possibly the MA but the sides might be too high. The Hippo is basically the MA with the sides cut out.
