"We’ve been using the Scooot to get Fred happy on his tummy again and then reconfigured it using the backrest and nursery table for some hand play."

The Benefits of Scooot
-
Crawl
Promote tummy time, and work towards developing head control, upper limb strength and coordination. These are the foundations for future fine motor skills and play.
-
Scooot
By mimicking bottom-shuffling, Scooot promotes lower limb strength and coordination. Learn depth perception, spatial awareness and cause-and-effect in a safe upright position.
-
Ride & Pooosh!
The perfect precursor for wheelchair skills. Ride develops bilateral upper limb skills and hand-eye coordination. Use the Pooosh handle when little ones want a rest or you've more distance to cover.
-
Play, Explore, & Participate
Scooot frees kids up to explore home, play with pals, chase or race siblings, & more without any help - giving you both the freedom & independence you need.

Scooot FAQs
-
How do I know if Scooot is suitable for my child?
Scooot is an early mobility product, designed to provide children with a fun experience and the opportunity for independent movement. Scooot has been designed for children ranging from approximately 2-6 years old (depending on their size) and Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS) levels I - IV, depending on their level of development.
Your child will get the most out of their Scooot (in all configurations) if they are able to hold their own head up, and have a reasonable level of trunk control which means they can floor sit with a little pelvic support. Your child will find it difficult to use Scooot in any configuration if they have limited head and trunk control or sitting ability. However, your child’s abilities may still be emerging, so they may be able to manage a short time in Scooot before getting tired. That’s OK. Go at their pace, and they may soon build the skills and stamina needed.
-
Are there any reasons not to use Scooot?
If your child has extremes of tone, or had certain types of surgery (for tight hamstrings, for example), we recommend that you seek advice from your physical therapist and/or physician.
-
How long should my child use Scooot?
This may vary depending on your child’s abilities, their mood and the time of day. Be guided by your child, but avoid letting them become too fatigued as this may impact on their abilities in other daily activities.
-
I am having difficulty manoeuvring the Scooot in the ‘ride’ configuration.
Please ensure the front castor is taken off.
