A cover for a three-dimensional walking frame, said cover comprising:
- a left side section and a right side section which mirror each other along a central seam, each section comprising a cross frame cover connected to the central seam on a first end and a side frame cover attached to a second end of said cross frame cover;
- said cross frame cover comprising an upper cross frame flap and a lower cross frame flap, a first unique fastener pair disposed on said upper and lower cross frame flaps, said first unique fastener pair comprised of a first half on the upper cross frame flap and a second half on the lower cross frame flap, for securing said upper and lower cross frame flaps together;
- said side frame cover having an outer flap and an inner flap, a top and a bottom, two arms and two legs, and a receptacle defined between said outer flap and said inner flap, wherein the outer and inner flaps are secured together to define an aperture at the top of said receptacle and an opening at the bottom;
- and
- a second unique fastener pair on each leg, each second unique fastener pair being uniquely coded from another first or second unique fastener pair;
- each of the second unique fastener pair having a first fastener element on one portion of the leg and a second fastener element on a second portion of the same leg.
