This belt is exactly what I was looking for. My son can put the belt on and off with one hand. Order one size larger! My son is six years old and mostly wears a size 6 and very small pieces. We ordered 7/8 and they fit perfectly. It is held on with velcro but looks expensive. We didn't order the buckle but I think I'll order one to see how it looks. I am very pleased with how easy this belt is for my son. Since he only uses one hand we really need to find something that will give him confidence and independence and this has done just that!
