Your child will benefit from unmatched security and functionality with one of our pediatric walkers with seats!

Walkers with seats (also known as rollators)

Over the last two decades, this type of walker has become increasingly popular. When walking long distances, a Rollator can be used as a seat and provided as a resting spot when necessary. Walker's version folds up. 

The options it offers are much more extensive than those of your standard walkers. Some Rollators with eight and 10-inch wheels are great for use outdoors. The majority of Rollators have 6-inch wheels. 

Sitting is even made more comfortable with different back styles. Sitting down and getting up with a height-adjustable Rollator is extremely handy. Under the seat of most of them is a pouch for storing small items, which is very convenient. 

Benefits of junior rollator walker w/ seat

Using a junior walker can be very beneficial to children with limited mobility. For young and junior users, the Go petite walker rollator offer a wide range of benefits. Some of the benefits are listed below.

Increased gait and posture correction

The gaits of some children are improper, and they even suffer from spinal issues, which require special care. It may be necessary to provide some assistance to them to stand upright and walk safely. 

Occasionally, these kids will become fatigued just like any adult, so a seat on their walker can give them breaks when needed. 

There is a seat for this very purpose on all our junior rollators. Our pediatric rollators can also support the same weight capacity as our standard walkers (250 to 300 pounds). Due to their sturdy design, they can assist in posture correction when necessary.

Balance support

Special needs children or children recovering from orthopedic or spinal surgery can benefit from walking with a bit of extra balance while they're regaining their mobility by having a bit of extra credit. 

As the walker has handles to prevent the child from falling, a children's walker with a seat can help them maintain their balance. To avoid falls or improper weight distribution, the child may need to learn how to walk properly with their walker.

Walking ability

The ability to walk should be available to every child. A child should start walking by the age of two. If they are not, there may be some developmental issues, in which case a pediatric rolling walker will help expedite this process. 

A high-quality children's rollator walker can assist a child's progress while providing additional balance and posture support. In this way, they can safely achieve their mobility goals.

Weight-bearing support

The use of a pediatric rollator can benefit even older children. These rollators can help individuals with injuries or disabilities that prevent them from bearing full weight on their legs or feet. It is common for children as well as adults to have mobility issues. 

Even in such a situation, it is important to ensure muscle usage to mitigate muscle atrophy by walking as much as possible.

Upper and lower body rehabilitation

It is unknown that junior rollators are more demanding on the upper body. The balancing factor can also be improved when the child uses their pediatric rollator walker by bearing their weight and standing a little taller. 

In addition to building upper body strength, they also help build lower body strength. It holds that a person's core strength can improve posture, gait, and much more, and that's what children's rollators can do.

Features that are important when choosing a junior rollator

First and foremost, the weight capacity determines a machine's strength. If your child uses a lift, elevator, or similar gadget, their junior rollator will ultimately increase their child's weight. It is also important to consider other factors, just as one would when using an adult rollator:

Wheel Size: Rollators can run on different types of surfaces depending on their wheel size. With larger wheels, they can use their rollator on more difficult terrains (for example, gravel, cobblestone, smooth indoor surfaces, etc.).

Backrests: We offer children's rollators with backrest bars. Some models do not come with this, and others have detachable backrests.

Height Adjustability: Some children's rollators can't be adjusted in size because they're so basic. With our children's walkers with seats, you can easily adjust the height to accommodate your child as they grow and become more proficient.

Additional Carrying Options: Many rolling walkers, particularly those with four wheels, come with baskets underneath the seats. 

Many of our adult models, as well as most of our pediatric roll-a-way walkers, include secure storage pouches underneath the seat so your child can conveniently store items. Your child's personal belongings can be kept in the storage space safely and securely.

Juniors and rollators: What to consider?

Seat height

When selecting a rollator for a short person, you should consider the distance between the seat and the ground. It should be possible for your feet to touch the background while you sit comfortably. Standing in a high chair may cause you to lose your balance, increasing the probability of falling.

Purpose

Do you need a junior rollator primarily for indoor use? Is an outside walk more appealing to you? Rollators used indoors and outdoors should have a good wheel size, sturdy frame, and lightweight design.

Transporting

Mobility is improved with rollators, allowing you to remain independent for longer. Your vehicle should be able to transport a junior rollator easily. You can easily move your junior rollator from one location to another with a lightweight frame that folds flat.
