Hello everybody. I was wondering if anyone here knows if it is possible to buy a heart rate monitor wristwatch for kids? I have been looking around and haven´t been able to find one.

You could get one like this.

It does not use a chest strap. You have to touch your fingers to it. Thus you can not get continuous readings and have to stop some activities to us it.

Polar makes replacement straps for their WearLink chest transmitters that goes down to 21" chest.

And for the T31c transmitters they have have a x-small replacement strap, but Amazon does not give the lenght.
