More Details
MATERIALS: Lightweight aluminium frame. The front wheels are plastic unidirectional wheels and rear can have either rubber stoppers, or, if a four wheeled model, small reverse ratchet and cog mechanism wheel locks are used which prevent backward movement. There is an option to have swivel wheels at the front. Dycem non slip grip handles.
ADJUSTMENT: The walker's height should be adjusted to align the rear bar with the middle of the child's buttocks. Push pins on each leg of the walker allow height adjustment.
TO FOLD: The frame folds by the push pins on the side crossbars and pushing the front legs towards the rear legs.
OPTIONS: Gutter forearm supports. Pelvic support. All terrain wheels. Bag
COMMENTS: - Useful when training for appropriate walking patterns. Prevents user from flexing at hips and trunk.
- Folds to become quite compact.
- Height adjustment of walker allows for some growth of user.
- As height is increased, the walker base is increased giving sufficient stability.
- Unidirectional front wheels can make it difficult to turn the walker.
SAFETY: 1. Avoid using on steep slopes as it may roll out of control.
2. As the walking frame is a training aid, generally the user should not be left unattended.
