Here is one that works pretty good. We do a lot of buggy'n on the side of the dunes here at sunset beach and have found this strap very helpful when hitting some soft spots. Instead of getting yanked out of the buggy, it helps to pull it right along with ya.

I use 3point seat belt made of baby car seat.You can also use regular going from on side rail to the other.Make sure both options have good realise in case of crash You have to lose buggy fast.

First of all if you can't do a 180 out to a reverse and back in total control, do not strap yourself in too a Buggy.
What kind of buggy are you running I know I wouldn't want a fat old Libre landing on my back.
I use an old fashion lap belt from a Chev truck, the kind the whole top lifts and releases.
Your flying skills must be at least intermediate to expert.

No newbies and use the smallest kite you can get up and work up from there.
Cheers
