The assortment of children's shops is very wide. Many of the presented toys for children are aimed at developing certain skills. In this article, we will talk about children's wheelchairs that help one-year-olds get used to the surrounding space, and also teach them some skills.
Why do we need wheelchairs?
Car wheelchair - a special machine, sitting on which the top, the child alone or with the help of parents can manage them. Depending on the model, trolleys for babies are taken from eight months to one and a half years.
The main functions performed by machines include:
- formation of the ability to balance and coordinate movements;
- training of the vestibular apparatus;
- strengthening the muscles of the back, arms and legs;
- development of motor skills.
Types of trolley machines
The wheelchair can be divided into several types.
For additional functions
Machine-wheelers of the simplest type do not have additional buttons and panels on the machine itself. They are intended only for the child to ride on it.
The wheelchair users with music panels are perfect for curious kids. Depending on the machine itself, the panels can produce various sounds and melodies. Also on them can be installed additional toys that develop the motor skills of the child's hands.
By age of the child
The smallest children are well suited for wheelchair users with walkers. These are, as a rule, toys-transformers, which in the beginning serve to teach the child to walk. Depending on the model, it can be a machine with a special handrail, relying on which the child can take his first steps. It can also be an entire design on four wheels with an armchair inside, which as the infant develops walking skills can be removed and transformed into an already more familiar wheelchair. Walking rollers are more stable than other models of machines.
Parents of young children will like the children's wheelchair cars with a pen. Holding the handle of the typewriter, the parents independently manage it. As the child grows up, the handle can be removed, and the child rolls independently.
Children's wheelchair-rocking. This type of trolley machines is a design that, depending on the child's desire, can become a typewriter, or maybe a rocking chair.
By sex
Machine-wheelers for girls and boys differ in their design.
For boys, this can be a car wheelchair in the form of a jeep, a motorcycle or an airplane. For girls cars, wheelchairs, as a rule, differ in color and musical panels with toys.
