Hi Guys
I have made some double d-rings that sit on the waist strap, i then use two long double dog clips of the top ring to each of the D-rings on the counter lungs, works a treat an no need for the silly crutch strap. The lower ring on the wast is then used to attach my shinny new silent sub.

Cheers

Just IMHO, scootering any reasonable distance without the crotch strap will be uncomfortable.

I have done some scootering using the waist band in the past (in emergency when crotch strap wasn't available) and it wasn't comfortable as it keep riding up toward my chest.

But it will work for someone who has a "built-in keel" to keep the waist strap in place when pulled by the scooter...

I dont use the meg backplates, but using one with a regular crotch strap Bungee a ss bolt snap to the clips at the bottom of the CL, then clip it to your dring on your crotch strap. It holds the CL nicely in front of you.
