Questions & Answers
Each order does come with two crutches.
For a child their size will be too short. The crutches on my daughter's crutches are on the last adjustment hole since she is 48" tall. Although they are quite strong, they are relatively sturdy.
Ultimately, I'm sure it will be a personal choice for each I am the mother of a son who has PFS following surgery for brain cancer. The aids are being used as part of his physical therapy as a more independent way for him to be mobile. Because of his balance issues, he needs to use a gait belt as well, which makes it more difficult for us to assist him with them The steps are helpful however, as they make climbing stairs easier. Wishing you all the best!

Selected User Reviews For Inspired by Drive Pediatric Forearm Crutches, Castle Red, Small
In my experience, these are the only crutches on Amazon that 'fit' perfectly, which was a surprise considering I'm an adult. Since I am 5'5", I expected the adult forearm crutches to be appropriate, but they did not. It pinched my ulnar nerve because it was too high on the cuff. I was able to find only one pair of crutches that would fit my height AND fit the cuff properly thanks to these crutches. Moreover, they had a much lighter weight. I disliked both the cuff and handle of this item. There is a plastic cuff on the wrist. There's no sign of it breaking yet, but I expect it to. handle is another issue that I have Though I am well below that maximum weight, the hand holds are slightly movable when I put my full weight on them. Over all, I am glad I purchased them and that they outweigh the cons.
As an adult standing 5'1", I found it uncomfortable to use adult crutches under my arm and the shoulders hurt. Forearm crutches up to four inches long are much easier to use and quieter. Crutch users know what I mean when I say that the button height adjustment was noisy due to play. In addition to the fun purple color, the plastic forearm piece is comfortable as well. Thanks for making these available to us.
The extra crutches are helpful for my son, who is very active and breaks his crutches often. This is a very nice set of children's forearm crutches. This chair can be adjusted to your height easily. Neither the cuff nor any other part of it bends. They are very durable, though, so they are great for children who are very active.
The shoes were bought by my husband for a 3 year old whose leg was broken. While they were very comfortable and fit her well, she was not coordinated enough to wear them.
I got a great deal on crutches without underarm pain, but beware. . . one of them slipped on the tile floor, causing me to fall and break my foot three times!.
There is less strain when walking. I love how pretty the purple color is.
Since last summer, she has been using a walker (also from Inspired) and just recently started using forearm crutches. After trying it out at the store, we bought some for home and have been so thrilled by them. I couldn't believe how fast the shipping time was, and the price point could not be beat.
It was a great price, too. My son is a brain cancer survivor, and he needed a pair of these crutches to use at home. He uses a similar set of crutches He uses the same pair there and he likes them just as much Now that he has that consistency at home too, it means from now on he will be able to increase his learning.
