Help looking for harness to hold my extremely active 14 month old as I change his diaper tried everything to distract now looking for shoulder & waist

Look up the PooPoose, a "wiggle free" diaper changing pad with thick fuzzy strap (with velcro) for exactly this purpose. Designed by a pediatric dentist. I purchased on on Amazon a few months ago and it works well with my wiggle monster (13 months).

I am also looking for something to keep my 10 month old from wiggling off the changing pad and I found this...Hulabye HAPPY CHANGER Wiggle-Free Baby Diaper Changing Vest...now I haven't tried it but I think I will.

I have never done it but you could anchor the harness to the sides of the changing table if it is the rung type (you have to have something to slip it through and wrap around). The harness comes up pretty high. Your little one would still be able to wiggle and flail legs but it would probably keep him from flipping himself over. It would take a minute to get him all harnessed up each diaper changing but it may be worth it. My 17 month old is going through that same stage - freaking out during diaper changes.

The Dreambaby harness should work for you as it gives you various ways to adjust and attach it to a highchair and it has longer straps that can be used to help limit motion to keep children safe.

Right, I've had that problem too. I think it has something to do with the smaller straps that hold those gray chest pads (forget what Britax calls them - HUGS pads?). I just pull the strap release (accessed through a slit in the seat cover near where the lower strap comes out between the child's legs), grasp the black clip that holds the 2 shoulder straps together across the child's chest, and pull that clip upwards until it moves no further. That's usually enough slack in our case to get our kid out easily. It does seem to run up against those little HUGS pad straps though.

Thank you for contacting Active Forever. Unfortunately we cannot make recommendations on this product. You would have to contact a doctor to see what tension would be needed for your son.

there are velcro straps, just like a disposable baby diaper. extremely easy to put on. we add a maxi pad to the inside for extra absorbancy but you don't have to. make sure to turn it inside out and attach velcro straps to velcro when you wash, so the velcro lasts for a long time...

You're welcome! I understand. You're being cautious of course! Another item I used for all 3 of my babies was a "wedge" that kept the baby on their backs.. Course they can't roll anyway ... BUT it keeps them firmly in place - which is good.. And gives the parents more peace of mind. Good luck!! :)

Mybaby is 58 so I have not done diapers in this, but every thing else we have used it for has met with great success. Recommend you give it a try.. oney wise much cheaper than Calcon. Good luck. Juanita Crawford

I think it would be best for you to contact the seller of this harness. I no longer use the harness. Previous answer by David is excellent. Give that loving doggie a bit hug for me.

You can get straps like this:Booginhead SippiGrip - BlackIt may not be ideal, but they do keep my 15 month old from throwing her drink when she's done. I also use a snack trap cup so that her snacks don't spill if she drops the cup. Snack Trap

is the child toilet trained? if not the waist might be challenging and you might have to use a safety pin to keep them on the child. make sense?

We took off the top hooks, un-threaded the whole strap, put the waist clip back on, re-threaded through the little sliding length adjuster. You will have some strap still dangling, because it is long, but it is working for us and way easier to load and unload our twins. They would hate being strapped down! This is on the 2009 version, but I think the straps are the same. Does this make any sense to you?

Front elbows? Probably,My Dalmatian was able to reach his back leg with collar on. May wanna look at the inflatable ring collar. I bought both. I found the inflatable collar at Petsmart

My daughter uses a normal diaper on her Monkey. I bought a small package of Huggies size 2 diapers and those fit great!

My baby has also gotten more and more difficult to change as she's gotten older (she is 10 months now). Unfortunately, she's been able to thrash free of the Velcro when the strap is used as a swaddle for quite a while. And if I simply use it around her waist she can undo it by hand. I don't find the swaddle strap useful for her as she rolls and scoots and arches. All that sometimes helps is giving her something distracting (like my phone or keys). In short, it's a fine changing pad, but has no magic for a larger baby who doesn't want to be changed.

I would try the medium to start with. For my 50 lbs Dalmatian, I found the medium too tight and the large to big. In the case of it being too tight, his back legs went to sleep and he could not get up or walk. I thought the end was near for him and was in a panic until I removed the band and after a few minutes, he was back to normal. I ended up with 12 of the mediums since he would go through about 3 or 4 a day (even using sanitary pads inside the band). That way, I did not have to wash as often. To deal with the size not being quite right, I made an extension with some heavy fabric and lots of velcro strips so that I could adjust it to whatever size was required in case he lost or gained weight. Worked for us.

Personally I dislike the included harness. It is not the easiest to use. I bought the set and don't use the harness. My son is secure in it and can move forward and back. Maybe wait for the chair to arrive and see if you like the harness. If so then you won't need the set.

I had the same problem! My kiddo is thin and lean and really tall. She is well under the 45 pound limit but she is so long! She's so much taller than me, she can see over my shoulder when I use our BOBA. She loves being able to see! Like the other commenter Lisa mentioned, a bigger kid can have their arms up and over the shoulder straps and it works fine! I am sooooo happy I bought this devise. So much better than the Ergo. FYI. I bought it in the brown color and it is really dark at night when we stroll. I have attached reflector tape and those LED light up orbs that are sold for dog collars. Its made me feel safer walking in the dark. I had the same problem! My kiddo is thin and lean and really tall. She is well under the 45 pound limit but she is so long!

Unless you are a regular weight lifter I wouldn't recommend it, and I am pretty sure he exceeds the weight limit, anyhow. I was no longer comfortable carrying my son for any length of time in a front carry after he was 15lbs; he's about 25 lbs and this *may* help a bit with a hip carry still. You should look for a toddler soft structured carrier (I think most are rated up to 40 lbs), or I think a Storchenwiege wrap could work. Either way, you'll have to shell out around $150-180 new for a carrier that will work for you. The structured carriers are very nice for back carries if you need to carry him for a longer period of time.
