Meerkat Upright Standing Frame

Achieving and maintaining an upright position is vital to a childs development; standing can strengthen muscles, prevent contractures, reduce spasticity, encourage cardiopulmonary function, and generally improve psychological wellbeing. The Meerkat Upright Standing Frame is designed to offer secure support to help children of varying mobility levels maintain an upright position so they can reap the benefits of standing and more easily accomplish a variety of activities.

This aid consists of a base plate and column that detach easily from one another to take up minimal space when not in use as well as ensure traveling with the frame is easy. Supports for the chest, pelvis, knees, and feet are all available to ensure you child gets snugly-fitting support right where they need it; each of these can be adjusted or even detached entirely as your child grows and develops to stages where they no longer need one or more of the supports. Three sizes are available to accommodate children of different ages.

The base plate is mounted on swivel casters that glide smoothly over most indoor terrains and provide agile mobility that can easily clear tight corners and switch directions with no turning radius; these wheels come in a fun, smiling cow design on the light pink base, a sleek airplane design on the light blue base, or a standard grey design on the grey base. A rocker is also available and can be attached to the base plate easily, even if a child is already on it, and allows for gentle back and forth movement that can be soothing and encourage focus. An anterior-use tray can be attached to the support column and provides a stable flat surface that can be used for everything from coloring to snacking. The base plate is available in light pink, light blue, and grey in size 1 and in grey only for sizes 2 and 3.
