Some users have reported that the belt tends to come loose during transfers and does not stay tight, raising concerns about its safety. On the other hand, some users have found the belt to be sturdy and reliable for stabilizing and supporting their loved ones while walking. It is worth noting that the belt is not recommended for use in a pool, as the chemicals in pool water may degrade the material. However, it can be machine washed in cold water. Overall, the Gait Belt with Plastic Buckle by LiftAid offers a convenient and functional solution for assisting with transfers and walking. However, its effectiveness and safety may vary depending on the specific user and situation.
