Abstract: A buckle assembly formed of a male buckle portion and a female buckle portion. The female buckle portion has a top wall, a bottom wall, side walls, and a cavity between the top wall and the bottom wall and a locking slot in each of the side walls. The male buckle portion has a base, two locking legs, a center leg, and two intermediate legs between the locking legs and the center leg.
