The men in my house kept stealing the only ratchet strap my husband had. So I bought some for my sons to leave my husband alone. My husband liked it so much I had to buy it for him too. Very easy to put together and they all love the fact that they can lengthen or narrow it throughout the day. If you have children whose waist sizes vary, then this belt is definitely for you. I wish I would have bought them when they were younger.
