After some advice.

My 8 year old has recently started seconding leads.  The issue we have found, is that his harness(child's) only had 2 gear loops, which is not enough being as he has to clip both ends of the quickdraws up so that he doesn't stand on the recovered gear. 

Does anyone know if there is a gear sling that might fit him?(local wall is out of stock)

In reply to Alfie Allin:

Take a normal sling and shorten it with a knot. Wear it as a bandolier. Clip gear to that.

You can buy adjustable ones but as suggested a knitted sling would work.

Other alternatives could be buying a length of thin tape and making your own. You can also improvise extra gear loops with cord and plastic pipe.
