ABSTRACT:
A walker apparatus includes a base, a pair of front rollers mounted rotatably on a first shaft which extends from a front left side to a front right side of the base, a pair of rear rollers mounted rotatably on a second shaft which extends from a rear left side to a rear right side of the base, endless left and right foot belts engaging respectively one of the front rollers and one of the rear rollers, and a support unit disposed between the front and rear rollers to provide a supporting surface for the foot belts. The foot belts move independently and are to be treaded respectively by the left and right feet of the user, thereby preventing the action of the user's left foot from influencing the action of his right foot and vice-versa when the walker apparatus is in use. The walker apparatus may be used with a functional supporting frame that is in the form of a baby chair, a baby stroller, an exercise walker or any other suitable form.
