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
