Please Note
If you plan on using the Safety Harness lead as a tie-down with a number of different chairs in your home and community, we recommend the Chair/Stroller Strap instead of, or in addition to, the lead as a tie-down.
Similarly, if you have a larger or older child with special needs who is likely to exert excessive force on the lead when secured to their chair, the Chair/Stroller Strap would be more appropriate simply because it can take more abuse than the Safety Harness lead.
If the Safety Harness lead catches and tears on metal joints or screws that are components of the chair, the lead will be ruined and have to be replaced.
If the Chair/Stroller Strap or loops catch on the chair and become ruined, it is easy and cheap to order replacements.
If you would like to use the Safety Harness lead as a tie-down, please select that option when ordering your harness.
1. Seat your toddler in their stroller.
2. Wrap the lead around the back of the stroller.
3. Do up the buckle.
4. Tighten the lead by pulling the end.
5. Your child is secure in their stroller.
