They do have those, but the leg mechanisms don't have the same dynamic range as a humans' so they end up getting stuck in doorways, narrow stairwells, or other places which assume bi-pedals. Making them narrow enough to fit, makes them too short to reach the same heights assumed for adult humans, so they can't do the same thing.
