Who
The Toddler Mobility Trainer - Size Small - Rev 2.0 is designed for children aged 6 months to 3 years old, living with physical challenges, having difficulty moving independently in their homes or schools.
Why
Many toddlers lack the physical strength or coordination needed to move independently (crawl or walk), yet they have the cognitive ability to understand the necessary mechanics. This being said, insurance companies in Israel, and many other countries around the world, sadly do not cover/help provide wheelchairs for children under the age of 3 years old.
What
How
This product helps kids learn to move in a seated position using their arms and/or hands, eliminating the need for lower limb mobility or strength.
