Kid's money belt

Hi,

Does anyone know where I could get a money belt/bum bag for a child with a very small waist, he's a wee beanpole. He wants a wallet but I know he'd lose it so having a money belt would be the next best thing. Any info on where I could get one would be brilliant. Thanks everyone. :-) Had a look in the local outdoor shops but the ones they had were very big and bulky and more suited to a teenager etc.

  • Sorry, I've just spent the last 20 mins having a look, but there doesn't seem to be anything specifically for kids - probably to prevent kids carrying large sums of money?

    Thanks very much for taking the time to look for me. I'll see if I can pick something up locally, just had a quick look today in the outdoor stores. Cheers. :-)

  • Try your local market if they have a bag stall, I got fixed up from there when mine were smaller. Nice multi coloured ones. Just the job, small but visible enough for youngsters. Good luck

    We don't really have a local market here, although we do have the occasional Continental Market every so often. Saw some today in a local shoe store but they were huge, could have wrapped them around his waist several times. :-)

    I was in Asda today, and came across a zip - up wallet/ purse with a chain attached. It's meant for travelling, and you fasten it to your belt loop or something similar. I thought it might do for those of you still looking - it was less than £2.

    Haven't seen anything yet but will be sure to let you know if I see anything suitable. Don't really need it till Summer, just keeping an eye out though.

    Hi, not sure exactly what you are looking for and what size you need but here are a few I've found.

    There's this one which says it can be adjusted as a neck :confused: belt so should be small enough for a waist. (unless they have a very fat neck!).

    A Miu Miu belt for size 6-8 (not sure how big this is as I'm not this size :(

    There's this one that says it can be attached to belt hooks.

    Or alternatively how about this hidden wallet . It also looks like it could be threaded through a belt as well.

    Take a look at these ones as well.

    If I find anymore I'll let you know.

    Finc.
