Drive MedicalAluminum Crutch with Comfortable Underarm Pad and Handgrip

The crutches are functional and arrived promptly. However, sizing specs don't seem to match real world as other reviews have noted. My 4'5" kid is using these with the height set for 4'9" per the marks on the crutches. We had borrowed a set of 4'0-4'6" crutches first and they were way too short for her even on the higest setting. If your child is 4'2" or up I'd say get these instead of the smaller ones.

I got the youth size which is supposed to go to 5’2.” I must have grown after age 50 because these are at least 4-6 inches too short. The height markings did make it easy to adjust. In the video, I have no idea what the deal was with the hand grips. I found them easily adjustable. The crutches are very lightweight but still seem sturdy, except now after about 2 weeks, the wing nuts are breaking. It makes me concerned what else might break on something I’m depending on.Update: My physical therapist is disappointed with how their is such a height discrepancy. Can’t return without paying a fee so just trying to make do. Also, bits of aluminum are chipping off. My passenger seat is turning silver instead of its natural blue. Of course if I wasn’t on crutches, I could vacuum the mess off

According to the description these are the right size for someone that's 5 foot 1 inch but they are way to shortand so not even get close to my arm pit so i have to slouch down to attempt to use and isn't working.They even have an option, according to the crutch, to adjust/click to 5 foot 2 inches which also isn't working for me. Very disappointing that now I have to leave the house and go ship them back and then reorder a size apparently for 5 foot 3 inches when I'm 5 foot 1. Ugh!

These crutches are lightweight, easy to lengthen, and much nicer than my old wooden ones from years and years ago. Because I have lost five inches in height due to joint breakdowns, I had to order the Youth size for my height. Unfortunately, my arms did not shrink so the hand grips were much too close to the upper arm rests at their lowest position. Not to worry, I took to a friend who does sheet metal work and he was able to drill an additional pair of holes about an inch below the last one on the crutches. That extra inch was all I needed and they are now perfect. I was going to try to drill them myself but was afraid I might be walking uphill or down hill, depending which crutch was forward.One or two extra holes already pre-drilled would have made these a five star review. There was plenty of room for the extra holes.

Finally youth crutches that are true to size. I’m a 4’10” adult and a 20 year user of crutches. Typically the arm length is way to short and the overall height measurements are off by 2 or more inches. These are good for a short adult. The underarm and hand grips are not of the the highest quality but that’s not as important as the length. A-
