The Birillo is a pre-gait trainer/mobile corner sitter that allows a child to practice reciprocal leg movement patterns in a seated position and is a good precursor to walking. A height and depth adjustable front grab bar ensures safety without hindering transfers. Seat to floor height is adjustable. Headrest and tray are available.

Thanks to its shape and colors, Birillo is accepted as a "toy" by the child and this predisposes to a serene use without fear. The gait trainer stimulates the child's curiosity of exploring the surrounding environment. The Birillo then plays a very important part in the development of the perceptive and motor functions of the child, which are necessary to know and represent the space.

Birillo was conceived and thought to let children from ages 2 to 8 years old precociously move by themselves in the sitting position.

The triangular siting position prevents extreme hip and trunk extension and lets the child's head and trunk line up providing proper posture for moving. The abduction block keeps the pelvis in the triangular seating position.
