About
 It's easy to use!
Simply wrap the Walk-O-Long around your child’s chest, and under the arms, then adjust it to the perfect fit - about the same as a gentle hug - then secure the single-latch safety buckle in back.
Professional-Grade Safety
The primary security strap is made of super-strong flat nylon webbing - the exact same material used by firefighters, police, and search & rescue professionals worldwide! The one-piece security strap is threaded through each Walk-O-Long and looped at each end. The ends are multi-stitched and formed into strong, comfortable handles designed to fit every adult grip.
Who Needs the Walk-O-Long?
The Walk-O-Long can truly help anyone who wants to give their child the edge in developing balance, confidence, and coordination. Parents can help minimize the “bumps, bruises, and tears” associated with teaching kids to roller-skate, ice-skate, or even ride a bike.

Nursemaid's Elbow
Overview & Causes
 Nursemaid's elbow is a common condition in young children and generally affects children under five. It occurs when someone pulls a child too hard by the hand or wrist, or when a child is falling and the individual holding the hand doesn't let go. Another common mechanism is when the child is swinging while being held by the hands.
Nursemaid's elbow is often seen after a parent lifts a child by one arm up a curb or high step. The child generally begins to cry immediately and refuses to use the arm. The child hold's the arm in a slightly flexed position (slightly bent at the elbow) and holds the forearm against the abdomen. The child will move the shoulder, but not the elbow.
