ABSTRACT:
A wheeled vehicle for holding a small child upright in a standing position so that the child has increased visual interaction with the surrounding environment. Also, the vehicle maintains a child's body in a correct, safe and comfortable alignment with his or her head, neck and eye movement positions. The vehicle includes a lower portion of a bottom cylinder mounted on top of wheeled horizontal base frame. Sides of the horizontal base frame extends outwardly from the bottom cylinder and the outer edges of the sides of the base frame act as a bumper should the child's vehicle accidently contact the sides of a wall or other object. An inner circumference of a top cylinder is slidably received around a portion of an outer circumference of the bottom cylinder. The top cylinder is designed to telescope upwardly from the bottom cylinder. The top cylinder is secured to the bottom cylinder using a locking pin. A removable flexible floor is mounted inside the bottom cylinder and is suspended therefrom. The flexible floor provides a "shock absorber" type suspension for supporting the child's joints, muscles and weight. The removable floor can be adjusted to various heights inside the bottom cylinder as the child grows in size. The vehicle includes a handle incorporated into an upper portion of the top cylinder for pulling or pushing the vehicle.
