The Snug Seat Gait Trainer Walker helps the child with special needs to stand vertically, yet be totally supported when balance and support reactions are not present. The wide base with five casters make this gait trainer a very stable system for children who need maximal support to begin walking and gait training.
The adjustable arm and hand rests adapt front to back as well as up and down. A directional lock-out is provided on each Pony Gait Trainer as standard equipment. The seat is comfortably padded and an internal spring reduces spasticity for many children by reducing muscle triggering feedback. The detachable rear support is standard on the Pony Gait Trainer to ensure the child is properly positioned.
The Pony Gait Trainer comes with brakes on three of the five wheels as standard equipment. The Pony Gait Trainers are now available in 4 sizes to accommodate toddlers and teens! The leg separator is standard on each gait trainer and prevents scissoring during early stages of gait training. A set of four wheels are mounted in a horizontal fashion above each of the four front casters. They deflect the Pony from base boards, walls, and other objects to help guide the Pony along.
Which size gait trainer to choose? When sizing any gait trainer, both the thoracic support height (measured from the floor to under the arms) and seat height (by the measuring the inseam) are dimensions to properly size the Pony.

The Abdominal Pad supports the chest at the child's sternum. As the child begins walking, the trunk can be fully supported by the abdominal pad with the shoulders slightly ahead of the pelvis. This is particularly appropriate for children who are unable to hold onto a walker with their hands and who cannot fully support their weight on their feet.
