  • Patent number: 10426678
    Abstract: A support device created for children having a disability limiting their ability to stand-alone for extended periods of time, for those who are a fall risk, and for those with any physical or intellectual disability. The device has a frame that gives stability to the whole member. A seat is positioned in the middle of the frame for a child to use as a place to rest when desired, where the seat can catch the child if the child stumbles or falls. The seat is configured to be positioned below the child's torso when the child is standing as a safety support. This allows the child to stand, such as to watch TV, or stand on a movable game hoard of a video game system. The frame has a member that can be selectively removed or retracted such that the child can walk into the frame. Ankle restraints are provided and configured to attach to the child and keep the child's feet inside of the device and below the child.
