Overview
The Rebotec Safe In Kids forearm crutches feature a spring-loaded safety release cuff — the single feature that distinguishes them from the Fun Kids and most other pediatric crutches on the market. When a child falls, the cuff automatically springs open and releases the arm before impact. This prevents the crutch from acting as a lever that could cause a wrist fracture, forearm fracture, or rotational injury — injuries that can occur with a fixed cuff when a child falls forward.
This safety mechanism is particularly important for children with unpredictable balance, neurological conditions, or high activity levels, where falls are more frequent or more forceful. Handle height adjusts from 50 to 78 cm (20–31 in) — identical to the Fun Kids — and the rated capacity is 100 kg (220 lbs). Both crutches share the same pediatric sizing and fit.
The Safe In Kids are the preferred clinical specification for children at elevated fall risk. For children with stable balance and predictable crutch use where a standard fixed cuff is considered safe, the Fun Kids are an alternative.
Who Is This For?
The Safe In Kids crutches are the right choice for any child where fall risk is a clinical concern — including children with cerebral palsy, spina bifida, lower limb orthopaedic conditions requiring protected weight-bearing, or any active child where an unexpected fall is likely. Clinicians and parents who have experienced crutch-related fall injuries will find the automatic cuff release provides meaningful peace of mind. If fall risk is low and a standard cuff is acceptable, the Fun Kids are equivalent in fit and sizing.
Sizing
Available in children’s sizes. Fitting should be performed by a physical therapist to ensure correct handle height and cuff position for the individual child.
