The Hip Positioner swings with a childs walking motion, allowing the user to shift weight from one leg to the other. Raise the Handholds and shorten the straps to assist weight-bearing. Lower the Handholds and lengthen the straps for use as a safety sling. To keep the child's pelvis in midline and behind the shoulders, attach the anterior straps further back on the frame. The Hip Positioner Pad, sold separately, gives cushioned comfort. Hip Positioner includes one pair of Handholds. Most pediatric walkers do not have this option.
