Mariposa

Mariposa, meaning “butterfly” in Spanish, bridges the gap between physical rehabilitation and fun. For children recovering from surgery or injuries, physical rehabilitation is crucial for a successful recovery. On the market walkers, however, are sterile, clunky, and often times decrease a child’s desire to use them in front of their peers. Mariposa is a colorful, modular walker that can be assembled into various configurations. A child can use the walker for its intended purpose during recovery and reassemble the pieces into a tricycle or scooter post rehabilitation. This reduces consumer waste and continues to aid the child in their physical development.
