Will these crutches work on a three year old?

Probably not. Shortest length about 4 feet. These really intended for adults

These crutches adjust to the height of person who are between 4'6" and 6'6"...... per the instructions that comes with this product.

Height is not a problem, they adjust for a great range to 6'4" - they are rated to 300 lbs - they are the BEST crutches and far exceed the "hospital" crutches. They are comfortable and flexible. Definitely worth it, very easy on the underarms with the springs.

They will work. You may have to roll the sleeves. We used them for 5 and 6 year olds.

I can't say for sure, but I do know they are adjustable. In my opinion, it would depend somewhat on the size of the child. That's about all the help I can give.

No, I dont think so. I suppose it depends on the child though. I got these for my 3yr old nephew. He loved them & took to it fast.

Initially I bought them for my grandson (who has Down Syndrome) at age 6.....however I believe any child over 3 years would enjoy them.

Hello. I bought these a year ago for crutches and was not sure if they'd be safer than the tips that came with the crutches. I kept them on through the winter months and had no problems. They never fell off or came off. I showed them to my physical therapist to get her approval and she said they were fine. I hope this helps.

They work for my 15 month old and he is very petite. They are adjustable so maybe.

Possibly. They are pretty wide (about the width of an adult male's hand). The velcro attachment, though, gives a fair bit of range in how securely you tighten them, so they might work for a toddler (with supervision, of course).

Yes. They are too high for my 18 month old, but would be perfect for a 3 yr old.

Yes. My two year old is 27lbs and my 6 year old used them up until a month ago due to nighttime accidents and he is 50lbs.

Absolutely not. A three year old should be in a rear or forward facing harnessed seat, not a belt positioning booster. Please check out this link. http://csftl.org/harness-or-booster-when-to-make-the-switch/

I would think they would. I did not have crutches but the hand part of them is not too larger around either I don't think. You might have someone go to a store that has crutches or measure your own and see if it will fit that way. I did like these. I got sheep skin ones first and they were too big for my small hands to grip properly. These were much better and they did not get worn looking like the sheep ones either. I did like them!

Each crutch weighs about two and a half to three pounds. Worth the weight for the comfort.

I would say no. I purchased this for an active 7 year old and she had a hard time getting used to operating it, falling a few times in the process. In fact, her 4 year old sister wouldn't play on it and said it was "too hard". I don't believe a 3 year old would have the dexterity required and may hurt themselves.

i bought it for my one year old niece and my two year old nephew loves it. he is on the small side and he can sit on it-it might be big enough for your three year old.
