RedBarn Creepster Crawler is a mobility aid designed to assist children with developmental delays or physical limitations in learning to crawl. It provides a supportive framework that allows children to move their arms and legs in a crawling motion, helping to strengthen muscles and improve motor skills. Creepster crawler can help children with conditions like cerebral palsy, spina bifida, Down syndrome, or developmental delays. Crawling can promote independence and mobility. By providing a stable platform, the Creepster Crawler can help children learn to crawl more effectively. Creepster crawler has a strong aluminum frame with easy-slide pivoting casters and foam-padded harness which helps suspend the child in a 4-point creeping position to allow for variability in the amount and distribution of weight-bearing on the extremities.
Creepster crawler features a padded platform that can support a caregiver or therapist from above to make it easier to work on weight-bearing, weight shifting, reaching, and creeping. Creepster crawler is beneficial in developing the ability to roll-over or belly crawl mobility in children who do not have adequate head control and help provide a head start to more advanced mobility down the road.
