seat belt protectors - anyone tried one?

[lilKelBel]

Hiya

My SIL has a child determined to undo his seat belt. Anyone tried a protector to help prevent this? I understand there is some danger with some models that it can't be undone easily in case of an emergency, but this sort looks like it might help: www.hurphydurphy.com/information.html

any thoughts?

Thanks!

I use a scrunchie - yep a big hair scrunchie. DD can't figure it out.

We use a SnugSit - www.gltc.co.uk/ProductDetails.aspx?language=en-GB&productID=G7946 We got it on eBay for half the GLTC price. It was a recommendation on MN and it's absolutely brilliant. Undoes really easily for us, not at all for DS. And he has put some considerable effort into it.

Oh thanks for the replies! Sorry for the delay, new baby in the house you know how it is...

So this snug sitt thing, I guess the child can still undo the buckle on their seat belt, but the straps stay together, holding them in, is that how it works?

I'm forwarding it to my SIL so she can have a look. I guess one day I might need one of these myself (DS is 14.5mo).

Thanks a bundle

I'm not really sure, TBH. It would certainly hold for a while, but I wouldn't want to have to trust it to keep DS in his seat if we had an accident. I should imagine, though, that you could fasten it on the belt around the actual buckle, which would keep little fingers out. Our problem hasn't been DS trying to undo the buckle, but rather slipping his arms out from under the straps so that he can retrieve dropped toys. It works beautifully at preventing that!
