Child Safety Belts for w/w projects

I'd like to build a wagon for my 15mo. twins and need to install some form
of safety belts for them (my wife will be pulling most of the time ;o).

I'm wondering if anyone here has had the need for a similar device for any
woodworking projects. The type I'm thinking of has a nylon belt with a
plastic buckle-similar to what you'd find on most restaurant high chairs
(and pretty much most kid-safe toys).

Thanks for the advice!
Jimmy

I'd just make a stake-bed wagon.

Yeah - I'm with you. Can't imagine my twins (now just over 2) settling for a
"belt-in" for more than 4 minutes...
We used a high-sided stake-bed wagon and padded everything with an old
quilt.

Fabric/Craft stores such as Jo-Ann's should carry the webbing straps and
fasteners needed.

And here I was thinking along the lines of a stake or two in the middle of
the wagon bed. Impale the kids on the stakes. Solves a raft of problems.

Solves a couple - creates a few more... :)
"Velcro" is probably a safer start, you can always work your way up to
impaling.

DAFS (Do A Froogle Search www.froogle.com) on "Luggage Straps" For
example, I found:

http://store.yahoo.com/newadv/luggagestraps.html - $4.75.

(I've never bought from them, just an example).

Bag n' Baggage at the mall might have them as well. Get one with a
combo lock to keep the suckers down tight ;)

I've read where in severe wagon crashes the occupants shouldn't be strapped to
the wagon unless there is a form of roll over protection.
