Got Your Back (GYB): fabric cushion
inflation straw + air valve
ball
Step 1 : Inflate Ball
Use inflation straw to inflate the ball. This will "unstick" the sides of the ball. Step 2 : Deflate Ball (yes, really!)
After inflating, deflate and flatten ball
completely PRIOR to inserting into the
fabric cushion
Insert valve very
securely
Step 3 : Insert Ball Into Cushion With thumb and index finger keep
hold of air valve and spread ball
evenly inside fabric cushion.
Step 4 : Inflate Ball and Insert Stopper Valve
Re-inflate ball with straw through air valve to
desired inflation level. You choose! Pancakes or
souffle. Insert stopper valve very securely and store
inflation straw in loop inside cushion, under zipper. Step 5 : Zip It Up!
Close zipper carefully. Avoid snagging ball
with zipper by using the "zip up and push
down" strategy. Zip a small amount. Push
ball down into cushion. Zip up a little more. Step 6: Adjust! Play! Explore! Test and adjust GYB inflation level by sitting
with GYB behind your back. Adjust to
different heights periodically. Explore
movement, buoyancy and posture.
The Straps : installing your gyb
GYB side (horizontal) straps
come with a dual adjustable buckle.
When fitting around your chair,
adjust tightness of side strap to
ensure a snug fit, but not so tight
they leave permanent marks on your
furniture.
GYB comes with two top (vertical)
straps, 18" and 26". Depending on
your chair, you may need only one.
You can also join both straps
together using the velcro portion to
make a supersized top strap–41" with
3" velcro overlap.
Length of top strap(s) is based on
height of back of your chair and at
what height you want GYB.
Top Strap (vertical) :
Your top strap comes equipped with a loop and hook velcro
design. The loop is the fuzzy side of the velcro. Open back
flap, and use velcro to secure in place. You can shorten or lengthen top strap. Lengthen by joining
the two top straps together. Shorten by feeding a single
strap through flap and secure one end into tab at bottom of
cushion (see figure). Ensure the side strap buckle is in the center back of chair.
Secure GYB at your desired height by looping top strap over
the buckle, and then under, so that you can fix the end of
the top strap unto itself with velcro. See figure. Closed Back Chairs Any closed back chair will need to use the horizontal (side)
straps along with the vertical top strap.
Place the buckle of side strap in the middle back. There are
dual adjustments so you can adjust from both sides of the
strap. Use the top strap to adjust the height of your GYB.
Tidying Up Straps
Note, there are 'strap keeper clips on the
strap to neatly keep excess strap from
'flopping' down.
If there is a lot of 'excess' side strap, you can
double back the excess so that the strap
keeper holds two layers of webbing.
Open Backed Chairs : Open-backed chairs have two strap options.
You can use one or two straps. It's up to you:)
The Minimalist : No Side Straps
Attach top strap around back of chair, and secure it unto
itself with velcro. After securing strap to chair, open GYB
back flap and slide the flap 'door' under the strap at the
desired height, as shown at right.
There is no 'wrong' way to attach straps. Even if there is a
'twist' in the top strap, it is okay as long as your straps are
secure.
Tip: Place a finger between strap and flap while sliding in
place to avoid unintentional grabbing of Velcro.
It's Versatile! Other styles of open-back
chairs. There are literally
thousands of different chair
styles. GYB strap system will
work with virtually all chairs
with relatively straight backs.
Installing in a vehicle : Safety is #1 Priority!
Adjust inflation level of GYB's in carseats to ensure that your
head is within car manufacturer's recommended distance to
headrest after installing GYB.
One strap horizontally around the seat and one over the top
of seat and under the headrest.
Place the second GYB cushion above GYB with side strap by
opening flap and install onto vertical strap as in 'The
Minimalist - No Side Straps' page above .
