Car seat anti escape

MissRabbitNeedsAHoliday · 15/09/2019 14:10

Has anyone used the 5 point anti escape thing for car seats?
We have a joie tilt and my dd 2 can now get her arms out of it, the straps are as tight as can be, they are at the correct height & she doesn't have a jacket on.
I know clips aren't great but the safety thing seems to be sold in mothercare and halfords so I think it should be safe enough but just wanted to check if anyone has used these? Or should I just get a new seat?

We had a Houdini strap for a while, they aren't really recommended here but they are the norm in America. I figured it was safer that than dts getting out of their seats o the motorway.

I had a fabric velcro thing from mothercare as the chest straps aren’t accepted in uk for safety. I’ll find the link

Sorry! Didn’t click on your link! Yeah that’s what we used. Worked well! It’s designed to get rid of the gaps they can get their elbows through

I'm on a few car seat safety groups on FB and the bsafe belt collector is the only thing which is recommended as it's been safety tested. The others could be dangerous.

Thanks everyone. @Spaceman101 I seen that on which but it said it's only approved for use with Besafe harness seats?

Some cosatto seats come with built in (safety tested) anti escape five point systems

The five point plus worked for us.
