Independence, Together.
Every child deserves the chance to explore, play and move through their world with confidence. Whether recovering from injury, living with a long-term condition, or needing a little extra support day-to-day, the right mobility aid can make all the difference. At Millercare, we’re here to help you find safe, comfortable and practical solutions that grow with your child and support their independence.

1. Choosing the Right Mobility Aids for Children
Children’s mobility needs vary widely — from temporary support after injury to long-term assistance for conditions affecting balance, strength or coordination. Our paediatric mobility range includes walking frames, rollators, daily living aids, and wheelchairs, each designed to support confidence and independence while meeting safety and comfort needs.
Below, we explore the main categories of children’s mobility aids, with helpful product links and guidance on choosing the right option for your child.
2. Children’s Walking Frames
Walking frames provide extra stability for children who need support with balance or weight-bearing. Most models feature four wheels or castors, height-adjustable legs, and lightweight frames that allow easy movement.
At Millercare, popular choices include the Coopers Small Walking Frame — ideal for children due to its compact size and lightweight build.
For additional support, especially post-injury or during physiotherapy, many families also choose double-adjustable elbow crutches. These allow height adjustments as your child grows and help maintain safe, comfortable mobility.
3. Children’s Rollators
Rollators offer more flexibility than standard frames, with brakes, comfortable hand grips and smooth wheels for indoor and outdoor use. They are ideal for children who need additional stability but remain active and independent.
Our recommended model is the Height-Adjustable Children’s Rollator, offering excellent manoeuvrability and adjustable seat height for growing children.
4. Daily Living Aids for Children
Daily living aids help children carry out everyday tasks safely and independently — from mealtimes to self-care routines. These small adaptations can make a major difference to their confidence and comfort.
- Curved eating utensils for easier scooping and controlled movement
- Drinking cups with built-in straws to reduce spills and support hand-eye coordination
These aids are designed to help children build confidence, learn new skills and maintain independence in daily routines.
5. Wheelchairs for Children
Choosing the right wheelchair for your child involves considering:
- seat size and growth adjustability
- weight and portability
- indoor and outdoor use
- comfort and posture support
- colour and personalisation options
We offer a wide range of children’s wheelchairs suitable for long-term everyday use. Our popular Zippie wheelchair is lightweight, durable, and available in fun colours — a favourite among growing children who need a supportive, comfortable mobility aid.
