Active Hands Mini Gripping Aid – For Children Under 5
Australia Wide Shipping.
Helping little hands hold on with confidence.
The Active Hands Mini Gripping Aid is specially designed for children under five who have reduced grip strength or limited hand function. Built as a smaller version of the General Purpose aid, the Mini allows young children to participate more fully in play, therapy, and everyday activities.
Many conditions can affect a child’s grip, including cerebral palsy, muscular dystrophy, spina bifida, Guillain-Barré syndrome and other neurological or muscular conditions. The Mini Gripping Aid helps remove that barrier - allowing children to hold, play, and explore with greater independence.
Sold individually – choose Left or Right or both. Available in Blue or Pink.
🧸 Ideal For:
- Adaptive tricycles and ride-on toys
- Scooters and handlebars
- Toys and play equipment
- Musical instruments
- Therapy and early intervention activities
For many families, the Mini aid becomes an essential tool for helping children grip trike handlebars securely, improving control and encouraging stronger, more confident pedalling.
✅ Key Features:
- Designed specifically for small hands
- Rear wrist fastening – easier for parents and carers to secure
- Soft neoprene padding for comfort against delicate skin
- Strong webbing construction built for active play
-
Machine washable for easy cleaning
📏 Size Guide – Mini Gripping Aid
The Mini size is generally suitable for children up to age 5. However, we strongly recommend measuring to ensure the correct fit.
Measure:
- A = Circumference of the narrowest part of the wrist
- B = Distance from wrist crease (where hand meets wrist) to tip of middle finger
| Size | A: Wrist Measurement | B: Wrist to Middle Finger |
|---|---|---|
| Mini | 120–140mm (4.7″–5.5″) | 120–140mm (4.7″–5.5″) |
Measurements are approximate. If your child measures above this range, consider the Small size in the General Purpose Gripping Aid.
Not Sure If This Is The Right Model?
If your child needs to grip very small diameter items such as paintbrushes, pencils or toothbrushes, the Mini Small Item Gripping Aid may be more suitable.
For children aged 5 and above, view our General Purpose Gripping Aid (Small size).
