Toddler Backpack - Harness

This is what the strapping looks like all sewn up before going on the backpack.

 

Cut 5 1/2 inch piece for lower cross strap, 12 inch piece for grab handle, 8 inch piece for sliding buckle piece, and 3 1/2 inch piece for fixed buckle piece. Shoulder/side straps are 20 inches on this backpack, but longer would be better for bigger toddlers.

 

First sew the slider pieces onto the shoulder/side straps. Measuring from the top of the slider buckle, mark at 2 1/2 & 3 1/2", 7 1/2", 13 & 14".

 

See detail pics for strap placement. I put the shoulder/side straps nearest the toddler's back, and the cross straps behind.

 

After threading shoulder straps through sliders, fold over 1/2" and sew.
