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.

At twenty months, before belt cane she was able to hold one hand and walk, needs some support for balance.

Reason for belt cane is her balance is what needs training due to a compromised vestibular system being both deaf and blind.

My daughter had been using a single cane, I believe that the safe toddles cane gives her a better understanding of what’s in front of her more than the single cane, having the two sides coming down.

She seems to need a little less assistance because she can feel that the floor is flat just ahead.
I really feel like this will give her a better sense of balance and a good step before using her single white cane.
