Description
Overview
Vinex Squeeze Stilts are a set of six pairs of low platform stilts for early years (ece) centres and primary active play sessions. A child steps onto the dimpled platform, pulls the ropes up tight and walks, using the squeeze on the cord to keep the platform under each foot.
The supplier describes them as a tool for training balance and coordination, and they work well as one station in a movement circuit where a group rotates through.
Key benefits
- Six pairs mean a small group can all be on stilts at once.
- Non-slip edges on the platform help feet stay put.
- Strong nylon cord handles the constant pulling of small hands.
- Dimpled platform shape gives a textured surface underfoot.
- Assorted colours keep pairs together and stations easy to organise.
Who it's for
Early childhood centres, new entrant and junior primary classes, and holiday programmes building balance activities into their day. They are a beginner balance toy rather than a gymnastics aid, so older students wanting a challenge will move past them quickly. Other movement gear from the Vinex range is listed alongside.
Care, safety and set-up
Check the cord knots under each platform before a session and set aside any pair with a frayed cord. Use on a flat, clear surface with adult supervision. Store pairs together by colour so the set stays complete.
Frequently asked questions
Are these sold as a pair or a set?
This listing is the set of six pairs, enough for six children at once.
How does a child use them?
Step onto the platform, pull the ropes up tight so the cord is taut, then walk while keeping the pull on.
Can our centre get a quote?
Yes. Add the set to a quote and the customer-service team will price it, and funding packages are available for early years services and schools.
