Hi there, my 23mth old girl will be fitted with a cast for scoliosis next month. I just want to know if she will need to change her car seat (she's currently in a maxi cosi Toby). Thanks!

I'm not familiar with that seat, but you will need to make sure that her seat is rated to accommodate her casted weight.

I have a dd with early onset, progressive scoliosis. She is in cast as well. My dd is older (7 y/o), and rides in a Nautilus as a HBB. The seat belt rides funny over the shoulder where the cast goes up and over the shoulder. I think with 5-pt harness it would be fine. The cast "only" added 3 to 4 pounds of weight to my dd. I think the cast on you dc would be much less, like 2 pounds?

Good luck. The first week in the cast was tough for us It is now the new normal and seems to be going fine. I almost forget about it :)
