I have been flying my 601HD for 11 years now. I soon want to take my
grandson for his first ride. I have the original 3-point lap/shoulder
belts provided by ZAC, but the should harnass is very long. Even for
myself it is near the full range of adjustment. There is no way to
tighten then enough for a 5 year old. I have looked for belt
adjusters/tighteners on the web but there don't seem to be any
available. Anyone have a suggestion/solution other than replacing the
belts?
Thanks

You might want to consider using a booster seat for him.  Would help him see out the windows anyway.

Please make sure your passingers and yourself have lap and shoulder harness seat belts.

I had a nose whee strut failure in July and my lap and shoulder harness probably saved me from injury.
Fly safe.

You could try extra seat cushions on both the seat bottom and back to bring him up and forward. He probably won’t be able to see out the canopy very well with the standard cushions anyway.

I have the Zenith supplied 3-point Hooker harnesses in my plane and I don’t recall there being any limit in how tight you can adjust them.
