safety straps

Protective binding devices

Safety straps are bands or belts designed to secure a person or object and prevent falling or injury.

They appear on high chairs, strollers, and amusement park rides to keep children in place, and on scaffolding or rooftops to protect workers from falls: Always check the safety straps before the ride starts.

The term overlaps with safety harness but usually implies a simpler restraint system.
