PCP Aluminum Youth Crutches

PCP · Short-term recovery

7.8/10 Fit Score

The pick for kids and shorter adults, and the youth listing we could verify actually ships as a pair. PCP makes a smaller child size (4'0"–4'6") if this band is still too tall. Measure first: the pad should sit about two inches below the armpit.

  • Sold as a pair, and the listing says so plainly (youth crutches are often sold singly)
  • True junior-youth sizing for 4'6"–5'2", hard to find in stores
  • Printed height scale on the shaft takes the guesswork out of sizing
  • Arrives pre-assembled with tips, hand grips, and underarm pads
  • PCP does not publish a weight capacity for this size
  • Plain look (kids often want color or decoration)
