Ice creepers for little kids

[Chris338378]

I'm hoping to take my daughter who will be three years old ice fishing this year and want to get a pair of ice creepers for her but haven't seen any small enough for her.  Does anyone know of a company who makes them for small children or have any tips of making a set for her?  I was thinking of getting a pair of rubber two buckle pull over boots, cutting the bottom, and putting some screws in them to rig up a set.  Has anyone tried this idea?

Chris have you looked through the Dressing for Ice Fishing forum there maybe a thread or two on this topic. Also do you think the instep type creepers would work you would have to modify the straps to fit your daughter. I do not know of any company making creepers for small children.

last year my buddys kids were with us and i had an extra set of adjustable ones and used the toe section for the kid and just zip tied the rubber straps together and it worked great then just cut the zip tie after we were done and reattached the heel section

Buy a spare set of boots and put some sheet metal screws into them. 

When I was a kid, I had some creepers that strapped into the arch of my boot.  I still have them for spares.

I do a fair amount of surf fishing, and this is a common issue for our Korkers.   I had to find a link.  This will give you some ideas to work off of:

The soles off an old set of shoes, rubber radiator hose, some stainless steel nuts, bolts, washers, and some shoe laces, and your all set.

Here's what you need to do 1 pair of adult korkers.

70 pieces of each (buy 100 at Jamestown Dist for big discount  http://www.jamestowndistributors.com/ )
-Size 10-24 3/4' long SS machine screws. Pan head, philips drive
-Size 10-24 Nylon lock nuts
-Size 10 flat washers
For the straps you need 5/8" radiator/heater hose. You can find it at Sears Hardware, auto parts store, probably Home depot, etc.

As Im sitting here thinking about it, if you dont have old boots to cut up, trace the outline of the boot on a thick piece of rubber mat and cut it out for the sole.  Chances are she'll out grow it before she wears it out.

See the link for directions and pictures

Hope it helps
