Abstract: A system is provided for developing bipedal motor skill of a child. The system comprises a padded belt that is secured about the child's upper torso under the arms. The padded belt comprises first and second fastening straps at respective first and second distally opposite ends of the padded belt that are used to secure the padded belt about the child's torso. The fastening straps have fastening means attached to the straps that couple the two straps together as a belt about the child's torso. The system also includes a pair of handle straps coupled to the padded belt. The two handle straps are configured for being held by an assistant to support the child during bipedal motion. When the handle straps are held with one in each hand, the assistant can support the child from the straps so that the child may walk without risk of falling.
