ABSTRACT:
A child harness and tether is provided having superior comfort and safety features, the tether comprising a detachable strap adjustable in length and connectable to a harness using a tangle resistant rotating clasp where the position of the connection is away from the child's waist area to prevent undo stress or injury. The harness is fully adjustable to accommodate children of various sizes and utilizes Velcro.RTM. type fasteners at the waistband adjustment for a proper, easy fit. A pair of shoulder straps connect in the back of the child at a vertical flap which extends from the waistband, and connect in front of the child to the waistband in a sliding relationship. Both shoulder straps forms loops to capture the waistband while permitting the shoulder straps, which are joined together, to move along the waistband for greater flexibility. Strategically placed pads on the shoulder straps protect and comfort the child in the harness, and the connection of the tether to the harness is located at a point intermediate between the waistband and the top of the shoulders to reduce stress on the child's lower back and distribute the force from the tether to the torso where it is more easily received.
