Drive Medical Youth Aluminum Crutches

Drive Medical · Short-term recovery

7.6/10 Fit Score

The pick for kids and shorter adults. Drive also makes a smaller pediatric size (about 4'0"–4'6", 175 lb) if this youth band is still too tall. Confirm the height band before buying.

  • True youth sizing for 4'6"–5'2", hard to find in stores
  • Same 350 lb aluminum frame as the adult model
  • Light and shorter, so easier for kids to swing
  • Latex-free pads and grips
  • Plain look (kids often want color or decoration)
  • Listing wording can be unclear on pair vs single
