ABSTRACT:
A webbing type tether is disclosed having two terminal harness loops that are dimensioned to be fastened around the waists of both the care giver and the child. Embedded in the webbing is a length of wire that ends in cooperating pairs of conductive panels at the open ends of the harness loops. These panels complete a circuit when the harness loops are fastened in place, and the whole is powered to sound an audio alarm when the circuit is broken. Additionally, intermediate the two harness loops, preferably closer to the child's harness, is a third loop that will allow the care giver to pull the child towards them quickly in case of an emergency or sudden hazard. The invention is also provided with a test switch to simulate the breaking of the circuit and a power indication LED.
