R82 Meerkat Sandals hold a child’s feet in position on the Meerkat standing frame footplate. Each sandal has adjustable straps across the ankle and is fixed or moved on the plate with an Allen key from the back, which can be done with the child already in the frame. Three sizes are made: small for the size 1 plate with a 60 to 75 mm heel width, medium for the size 2 plate at 65 to 80 mm, and large for the size 2 plate at 85 to 95 mm.
Sold as a pair. The Meerkat uses its own sandal attachment, so these are not interchangeable with the universal sandals used on the Rabbit Up, Toucan, Gazelle or Caribou.

Who it suits
A child using the Meerkat upright stander who needs the feet held flat and hip-width apart to load through the legs, for example a child with cerebral palsy with tone that pulls the feet inward or up. Measure heel width with the shoe on. If the child stands in a Rabbit Up, Toucan or other R82 frame, order the universal sandal instead.
