Lap belt for plastic sledge

Does anyone know if you can buy a lap belt/harness for a plastic sledge? Need the belt big enough for a 6 year old.

You can buy sledges for babies with seats and lap belts/harnesses but not such sledges for older children.

do you mean this kind of thing?

I got round this problem by making a copy of one DGS has on his buggy. It is a pelvic strap so pretty complicated but he needs this type of support or he arches forward. We use it in his swing, chair and spare buggy. Thin straps cut into his nether regions Shock so its made from neoprene like the original. Simple strapping is easy to make using the clips you see on most equipment. I bought second hand walking harnesses for a £1 off ebay and used the webbing and the straps. It is in effect custom made Grin

Thanks for your replies. Yes the ones from Creiling are the sort of thing I am after. Thanks! Hope they are narrow enough to fit through the holes on the sledge already.

Also your idea about copying the one for the buggy is a great idea. Many thanks!
