Success Stories

Families & Professionals Trust KinderLift Gait Vests⭐

“A Safer, More Supportive Way to Help Kids Stay on Their Feet”

“…I’m an occupational therapist working with special needs kids. We have some elementary students that are able to walk on their own but may lose their balance if they encounter uneven terrain or are brushed by another student. We have been using the (Kinderlift) gait vests for a safety precaution and for them to increase their confidence (or when they’re having “off balance” days, etc.) They’re been a great resource & my special ed director keeps asking me to get more for them! We have found that the vests are a lot less intrusive / rough on the kids if we are trying to catch them when they’re on their way to fall. In addition, some kids have sensory needs or issues and don’t like hands all over them anyway! Basically, the vests protect them and us as a staff because we aren’t throwing out our backs grappling for kids!”
