Abstract

The handle device of the invention extends from a hand hold at one end of an elongated member to a cross member at the other end. The cross member is connected to straps for ready attachment to and detachment from a child's vehicle. A pair of interengageable surfaces, such as Velcro.RTM. material, are positioned on each strap to enable the free end of the strap to be secured after being looped around a structural part of a child's vehicle. One engageable surface of the pair is fixed to the cross member, and the second engageable surface of the pair is on the free end of the strap. A pair of additional engageable surfaces for anchoring the free ends of the straps is positioned on the cross member between the parts of the straps fixed to the cross member. A duplicate of the cross member may be used for the hand hold and other purposes as well, such as connecting two vehicles together.
