5.  Place the child’s feet into the small 

sandals and use the three Velcro 
straps to secure tightly around the 
child’s feet. 

Footwear

Both adult and child should wear shoes when using the Upsee. 

We recommend trainers/sneakers for adults. Do not wear shoes with heels, large boots, 
sandals or slippers. 

We recommend trainers/sneakers, shoes with enclosed toes or orthopaedic shoes for 
children. They may also wear splints/AFOs with the Upsee. 

Step 4

Connecting the Child Harness to the 
Adult Belt 

1.  Extend all four connecting straps on 

the adult belt before attaching it to 
the child’s harness. 

2.  Connect the grey straps on your 

adult belt to the matching grey-
strapped buckles on the lower back 
of the child’s harness.
