Practice in the playroom. Matias is wearing his belt cane, walking and holding his dad's hand. The tight-spaces cane frame contacts the sofa, plush rocking toy and wooden toy cart he was scene stepping on when guided without a cane. His tears result when made to let go of his dad's hand.

The belt cane should be worn most of the day, because there is no benefit to walking without effective path information.
The daily frame provides a two-step preview of the path ahead. The daily frame is intended to be worn inside, in roomy indoor spaces, in the mall, at school and outside, on the playground, in the backyard, on the beach, everywhere.
