Accessories: Crotch Strap
to use with the Child-to-Adult Safety Harness
Some parents like the idea of additional security with the harness they order and in these cases, a crotch strap is the answer.
A removable crotch strap gives the option of attaching additional security to the Safety Harness if and when the need arises.
This single strap design ($6 Cdn or US) loops over the chest strap at the front of the Safety Harness, passes between the person's legs and loops over the bottom chest strap at the back of the harness before the buckle (or locking carabiner) is fastened.
Two "ultra grip" sliders prevent slippage but allow the crotch strap to be adjusted for growth and/or additional clothing.
For male customers, most parents order 2 removable crotch straps with the harness and place them on either side of the legs to prevent any direct pressure points.
Is a Crotch Strap necessary?
You are the expert on your child's behaviour. If the person is older and spends a portion of their time with a caregiver, then both of you are the experts on their behaviour.
If you are considering a Child-to-Adult Harness and feel the person will attempt to remove the harness, then having a crotch strap that you can add to the harness during these episodes would be a good idea.
Crotch straps do add a degree of security to the Safety Harness without bothering the person wearing the harness.
What I can tell you is that most people order my removable crotch strap to have on hand "just incase".
