Abstract:
A portable walking trainer device for a child, having a U-shaped structure of support bars that are removably securable to a padded base mat. The padded base mat has apertures disposed along its perimeter to facilitate removable securement of the support bars to the mat. Securing posts attached to the support bars are inserted into the apertures, resulting in a stable set of handrails for a child to pull on, lean upon, or use for balance. All support bars are padded to reduce the risk of injury to a child user. When the device is not in use the support bars may be disassembled and fold up within the base mat. Handles disposed at the ends of the base mat allow the self-contained stowed device to be easily transported by a parent or caregiver.
