Description
The KneeRover Knee Walker Jr is a steerable knee scooter made just for kids and smaller adults. KneeRover calls it the industry’s first steerable pediatric knee scooter. It has a smaller knee pad, smaller wheels and a lower frame than adult models, so young riders from 3’6″ to 5’6″ can sit at the right height and steer with confidence. It is a proven crutch alternative after a broken foot or ankle, foot or ankle surgery, or other lower leg injuries.
Crutches are hard for kids. They are tiring, they slip, and they make it tough to carry anything at school. An adult knee scooter is usually too tall and too heavy for a child to control. A pediatric scooter fits their body, so they can get around the house and the classroom safely and keep their independence while they heal.
Key Features
- Sized for kids: users 3’6″ to 5’6″.
- Light 17.4 lb. steel frame with a 160 lb. capacity.
- Smaller 10″ x 5.5″ knee pad, 3″ thick and contoured.
- Four 6″ non-marking rubber wheels.
- Locking handbrake and rear drum brake.
- Thumb-release fold for smaller vehicles.
- Detachable storage basket included.
Built Around a Child’s Size
The KneeRover Knee Walker Jr has a shorter frame, a narrower 16″ front axle and a smaller knee pad than adult models, so it fits a child’s shin and stance comfortably. The handlebars adjust from 26.5″ to 36″ and the knee pad from 13.5″ to 17.5″, letting the scooter grow with your child through a long recovery. The ergonomic rubber grips are sized for smaller hands.
Light and Easy to Handle
At just 17.4 lbs., it is easy for a parent to lift into the car and easy for a child to push and steer. The 6″ non-marking wheels roll quietly on school hallways and home floors without leaving scuffs. The locking handbrake and rear drum brake give reliable stopping power, and the basket holds a book, snack or water bottle.
Getting the Right Fit
Have your child rest the knee of the injured leg on the pad with the thigh straight up and down and hips level, then set the handlebars so the elbows bend slightly. The pad works for the left or right leg. Kids taller than 5’6″ or heavier than 160 lbs. should use an adult model.

Using the KneeRover Knee Walker Jr Safely
Teach your child to push off gently and keep to a walking pace; KneeRover recommends staying under 3 mph. Lock the handbrake before stepping on or off, and check that every height adjustment is tight before each ride. Supervise young children on slopes and curbs, and never let them ride a knee scooter on stairs. Ask your child’s doctor whether a knee walker is right for the injury.
