Open Frame Design

The open-frame design provides support without restriction, enables children to get up close to friends, family, and a world of possibilities. Each of the three frame sizes comes with new robust indoor/outdoor wheels, ensures there's no limit to which path child can take. These sturdy wheels feature anti-roll-back protection, direction lock, and variable resistance as standard to assist steering, prevent backwards movement, control speed, and ensure all energy is focused on moving and playing. The size 2 and 3 frames can be separated and folded to make transport a cinch.

Unique harness for upright, hands-free walking

The revolutionary corset-like MyWay+ harness provides 360° support for deep core stability. This natural upright posture improves stepping, head & trunk control, and ensures hands are free to participate in the classroom and have fun in the playground. The harness is comfortable, flexible, and structured to help manage children with low or high tone and guide the dynamic sinusoidal movements of gait. Integral hoisting loops make getting into and out of the walker much easier, especially for tired little legs after a long walk.

Increased child engagement

The open-frame design and supportive harness keep children upright and their hands free. This ensures easy, peer-to-peer communication and interaction with their environment which increases overall participation. The open frame allows children to be able to participate in play in the classroom and explore outside with friends and family.

MyWay+ was designed with childhood development in mind.

Children with additional needs often have weaker muscles, especially around their hips. This can impact their gait, function, and hip joint development. The new side-step function of the MyWay+ locks the casters in a sideways position, providing the opportunity to target and strengthen hip abductor muscles while they are fully supported in the frame. In addition, progressing from standing to walking requires a multitude of small but important milestones including lateral weight shift, side stepping, and balance control. With the side-step caster function, the MyWay+ supports these developmental steps to encourage independent movement. Tool-free adjustment of the prone angle and gross & fine height adjustment, together with the wide range of accessories, ensure therapists can optimize setup to maximize participation and play.

The optional ankle guides are designed to help separate the child's legs to control scissoring gait. The MyWay+ ankle guide rails are flexible, which gives children more flexibility during use and in setup. The guides can be used at the ankle or adjusted slightly higher up the calf, depending on individual needs.

The new easy-to-adjust adult handles are height-adjustable for a range of carer heights. They enable a carer to guide the child around small spaces and encourage first steps to become meaningful movements.

The MyWay+'s newly developed indoor/outdoor casters enable children to be active in lots of different environments. These casters are multifunctional and offer braking, direction lock, anti-roll-back protection, and resistance to assist steering, prevent backwards movement, and limit speed as required. The versatility of these casters allows the MyWay+ to be tailored to the individual child's needs, helping to maximize their opportunity for use and further promoting function.

The new complex user handles provide additional upper extremity support for users struggling to hold their head and shoulders up. They are also height-, angle-, and depth-adjustable.

The new complex headrest has height, angle, and depth adjustments. The headrest also has adjustable laterals for individuals with less head control or uncontrollable movements that encourage a midline.

Great for smaller users, the new narrow saddle maintains all the functionality and ease of use as the standard saddle while allowing for greater movement and less hip abduction.

The new and improved user handles are now height-adjustable so that they can be set up to better fit the child.
