Get up. Stand up
Standing is a great alternative to sitting. It contributes to the correct development of the human body; standing up improves blood circulation; it gives the human skeleton a more even bone loading and therefore stimulates growth; it supports better organ functioning; standing up counteracts bedsores. In addition standing straight provides a upright, standing view of the world. Standing up gets the infant at the same height as its friends and peers.
The Orthos Klik-klak-system
Instead of the regular baseplate users can equip their Parapodium with the Orthos Klik-klak system. The Klik-klak-system consists of two walking-disks, assembled below the base plate. The Klik-klak-system makes it possible for the infant to move around.
