Seenin children’s back-opening zip sleepsuit – £28.95
The Seenin children’s back-opening zip sleepsuit provides a cosy, comfortable night’s sleep for children with disabilities – such as autism or a learning disability.
Thanks to the zip-opening back, the Seenin sleepsuit is ideal to prevent children from wriggling out of their clothes when it’s not appropriate. The zip continues down the centre of the back and along the inside leg, for easy opening and access for changes.
The nightwear is created from soft, cotton jersey fabric and you can choose between a footless or footed sleepsuit (up to age 13-14 for the latter), and soles are lined with non-slip gripper fabric.
It is available in a range of colours – navy and red, peach and plum or navy and turquoise – and comes in seven sizes for children between the ages of 3 to 16.
UK VAT exemption is available if your child has a qualifying condition.
Go to the Disability Horizons Shop to treat your child to a Seenin children’s back-opening zip sleepsuit. Plus, check out the rest of the Seenin product range available.

Greeper sports shoelaces – £5.95
Worrying about tying your shoelaces shouldn’t be a consideration when you’ve got your new favourite sport or activity to practice. With these Greeper sports shoelaces, you no longer have to.
Greepers are award-winning patented shoelaces that simply do not come undone yet can be loosened and tightened with ease.
These adapted sports laces are ideal if you have limited dexterity or motor skills, offering a simple and easy-to-use solution to traditional shoelaces.
They are highly inclusive and have been heralded as the best buy product by Triathlon magazine.
They also have the backing of occupational therapists and physiotherapists and are used by well-known athletes, such as Chrissie Wellington MBE, Rachel Joyce and Tom Lowe, as an alternative to elastic alternatives.
They also provide better support than velcro or elastic laces as they utilise traditional nylon laces and support the feet properly.
What’s more, they come in a range of fantastic colours and styles, from our popular, classic, professional black, grey or white to more bold colours such as red, yellow and royal blue (colours subject to availability).
Check out the Greeper sports shoelaces on the Disability Horizons Shop. You can also read Zec Richardson’s review on our shop blog.
