DS1 (3.6) has been wriggling out of his shoulder straps for a while, not ideal and we stop the car when he does it, but at least he was still kept in by his waist strap. That was until this week when he worked out how to open the clasp . So now he is escaping out of his car seat at any opportunity. He's doing it in my car and the childminders car and he is very quick. We have been drumming into him that he needs to keep his seatbelt on to keep him safe and he knows that but chooses to ignore it (no danger awareness at all).
I've had a quick google and I've found this but wondered if anyone had used it or had any other suggestions (I know a straightjacket might be one ). He is also almost too big for the 2nd stage car seat he is currently in and there is no way we can put him in a booster with just a seat belt. Not sure what car seat to get next?
