SECTION 9.1: How to know whether
Scooot is suitable for your child
Assessment and Prescription
Scooot is an early mobility product,
designed to provide children with a
fun experience and the opportunity for
independent movement. Scooot has
been designed for children ranging
from approximately 2–6 years old
(depending on their size) and Gross
Motor Function Classication System
(GMFCS) levels I - IV, depending on
their level of development.
Your child will get the most out of
Scooot (in all congurations) if they
are able to hold their own head up,
and have a reasonable level of trunk
control, which means they can oor sit
with a little pelvic support.
If your child’s head control is
still developing, we recommend
waiting until this improves before
using Scooot.
See videos online at
www.reyfriends.com
for further details.
