Make your Own Toddler Harness
Posted by adminToddler harnesses can be very useful for parents when they are in crowded areas. They can help to prevent losing a child in a large crowd in a place such as a stadium, amusement park, movie theater or shopping mall. Making your own harness will allow you to create a harness that will fit your child comfortably.
To create a toddler harness you will need a D-ring hardware piece, nylon webbing and tools to cut and seal the edges of the webbing. These tools include a strong pair of scissors and a fluid lighter or a serger type sewing machine that can handle ultra strong and thick material. You will also need a measuring tape to measure your child appropriately for the harness.
When making the harness it is good to have a picture or sample for the design. You will be creating a harness in one of two styles. One style features an over the shoulder strap and an abdomen strap while the other style features two chest straps and a crotch strap. Consider what would be more stylish and comfortable for your child.
You will cut the straps accordingly and secure them by stitching the nylon webbing together and cutting and sealing the ends. You can find webbing material in many different colors and prints. These prints will make your homemade harness look like a high end designer harness without having to spend as much money. You will also find that nylon webbing purchased in a one inch width will be much stronger than many store bought harness materials.
