User Instructions / Operation
The product is to be used as a walking aid for children up to the weight limit
of 35Kg. The rollator is designed for use with smaller children. The
suitability of the rollator for a particular child is to be determined by
individual risk assessment for each child by the therapist.
Only use on even, level surfaces and avoid slopes or uneven surfaces.
The child is to enter the rollator from the front, turn around so they are
facing forward and grip the rollator frame or handles at a comfortable
position.
When familiar with the rollator, ensure the front c
astors are ‘unlocked’ to
allow the rollator to move. The user is to walk forward at their own pace.
WARNING!
Whilst using the rollator, it is essential that the child is balanced
and stood as upright as possible within the frame. If the child’s weight /
force is applied onto the rollator whilst the wheels are not locked, the rollator
will move forward at a potentially high speed, especially on smooth
surfaces, which could lead to the child falling over if they can not move their
legs quick enough.
Securing the Rollator
