Q. What age and size is the Leckey Squiggles+ Stander designed for?
A. The Leckey Squiggles+ Stander is built for children approximately 1 to 5 years old, with a user height range of 29.5" to 43.5" and a maximum weight capacity of 48.4 lbs (22 kg). It’s fully adjustable to support your child’s growth and changing postural needs during early development.
Q. Can the Squiggles+ Stander support prone, supine, and upright positions?
A. Yes! The Squiggles+ is a 3-in-1 pediatric stander that supports prone (tilted forward 90°–70°), supine (tilted backward 90°–160°), and upright positioning. This flexibility helps meet the child’s therapeutic needs—whether for postural control, weight-bearing, or social interaction.
Q. How does the hip abduction feature support early joint development?
A. The Squiggles+ allows for bilateral hip abduction up to 60°, promoting healthy hip joint alignment and development. A built-in measurement gauge helps track abduction angles consistently, while synchronized hip laterals adjust as the legs move—preventing digging into the thighs and ensuring comfort.
Q. Is it easy to adjust the height and position of the tray and footplates?
A. The activity tray is height-adjustable from 18.5" to 32.5" (measured from the footplate to tray top) and tilts up to 30° in prone and 40° in supine. The independent footplates adjust individually to compensate for leg length differences, offering better weight distribution and support.
Q. Does this stander accommodate kids with poor head or trunk control?
A. Yes, the Squiggles+ includes adjustable chest and hip supports, wrap-around knee supports, and optional headrests (flat or Whitmyer models) to provide full postural control—even for children with low tone or minimal trunk stability. The sternal prompt and padded lateral cushions further support alignment and safety.
Q. How caregiver-friendly is the Squiggles+ for daily use?
A. The design prioritizes caregivers too. It features a pivot base with a foot pedal for easy horizontal loading (from 90° to 160°), which reduces strain during transfers. The push handle is height-adjustable and foldable, making it simple to move or position the child without compromising on ergonomics.
Q. Is the Leckey Squiggles+ Stander easy to store or transport?
A. Yes, the frame is lightweight (14.3 lbs for stander support frame and 14.3 lbs for the pivot base) and designed for compact storage. The pivot base folds down from 37.4" to 26" in length, making it easier to fit in tight spaces or transport when needed.
Q. What color or fabric options are available for the Squiggles+?
A. The Leckey Squiggles+ Stander is available in three bright colors—red, purple, and blue. For easier cleaning, a red vinyl upholstery option is also offered. All covers are soft, durable, and designed for pediatric comfort.
