I was at the football on Saturday and saw a kid in an RGK chair that had torso supports. Basically, curved pads that were attached to his chair and "held" his torso under his armpits. Struck me as a useful sports aid for me, and potentially some others. Any ideas of who makes these or what they're called?

They're not a removable component per-say. When the chair is ordered CERTAIN models will have options for positioning/seating additions which is what I think it sounds as though this kid had on his chair.

am suspecting you mean laterals .They are normally swing away so can get in and out the chair.Often used to aid for postioning when trunk is weak .But you oten need a seat with a high back often ordered by WCS in uk ( my son had them for a while to stop him leaning to the left )
