Toddler constantly escaping car seat - help!

[SandandSky]

We have tried special clips, having him in the front… all sorts. I am at my wits end. We live near a road where lots of accidents happen and though I try and avoid it I can’t always. I am so worried he’s going to climb out and be hurt, I think having to use that road amplifies it. I considered moving him to a bigger seat but DS is only just 11kg at 26 months so I am reluctant to.

please please please any advice or recommendations for my tiny Houdini!

This free course has some good info on how to make reward charts, praise etc more effective. You might need to break the wanted behaviour down and work on it one bit at a time e.g. staying in the seat for short journeys first building up to longer ones.

My school uses this type of harness in their mini-van. https://www.windmillspecialneeds.co.uk/html/vehicle_harnesses.html . You will find them on special needs websites. It is impossible to get out of them. They have magnets at the front and you need a magnetic fob to unlock them,
