Short Description

A height adjustable folding children's mobile walking frame made from
lightweight aluminium. The walker is designed to offer support at the rear of the child encouraging more upright walking. The top of the frame contours from the sides, where it provides hand grips, around to the rear where the child's bottom contacts the crossbar preventing the hips from bending. The front wheels are plastic unidirectional wheels and the rear can have either rubber stoppers, or have four wheels.

More Details

Height 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.

Folding
The frame folds by the push pins on the side crossbars; and pushing the front legs towards the rear legs.

Height of Child

Factors To Consider

* Undirectional front wheels can make it difficult to turn the walker.
* Avoid using on steep slopes as it may roll out of control.
* As the walking frame is a training aid the child should generally not be
left unattended.
* Small ratchet wheels are used which prevent backward movement.
