Gait Belt, Adjustable Gait Transfer Belt with 7 Handles, Standing Aids & Walking Assist Devices with Quick-Release Buckle for Seniors and Disabled (Blue-L)

Too loose around smaller waists for transferring purposes
This transfer belt feels really well made with sturdy handles/grips and soft padding against the body. It clips around the waist easily and stays connected even when being tugged on. I ordered this to help my elderly grandfather get around the house easier with assistance. I always try items on myself before him to ensure they are reliable.The listing title didn’t specify a “size” so I assumed it was one size fits all. After looking again I see that the smallest waist size it accommodates is 35.8 inches. Even though the larger part of my stomach is 37, when someone pulls on the handle bars, the belt naturally lifts up to the smaller part of my waist and then doesn’t do any good for lifting a person since it’s no longer snug around the body. It would have needed another strap to go between the legs to create a harness. I think this would be better on someone who has a larger body circumstance or a body shape that the belt won’t rise up.If you are just using this to keep a person steady while they are walking, it’ll work ok. On a person that this belt fits correctly, it does not feel overly tight or painful against the body as it is being pulled on. Also, if you are on the smaller end of the measurements and have to adjust the belt to the full tightness, you have a long strap hanging down which can get caught on things as you are moving the person from one place to another.Aside from that, this belt has been working great. Just make sure you measure your waist correctly to make sure this will fit snuggly.
