The user sewed Velcro onto the ends of a 40 cm-long elastic band. The band is threaded through the two front belt loops of the user\u2019s trousers and pulled around the baby to hold the child firmly on lap. When the baby was small and lying down on the user\u2019s lap the band was fastened around the baby\u2019s chest; when the baby was a little bigger and could sit the belt was placed around the baby\u2019s waist.<\/p>\n

\nI found that it worked better to slide the belt through the front loops of my trousers and pull it around my daughter\u2019s waist. She was more stable when sitting that way than if I had pulled a long belt around both of us. When my daughter had the belt around her I didn\u2019t have to worry that she would fall off my lap when we rolled over bumps or curbs, or when she reached for the exciting things we rolled past. However, my daughter learned to open the belt when she was just over a year old; I could have put a buckle on the ends instead, but never got around to it. I used the belt from the time when my daughter was a few weeks old until she was about 2 years old.<\/p>\n
