it seems no amount of telling him 'thats dangerous and you're making the car cold' will stop ds winding down the window next to his seat in the back, especially when im going 50 down the A road and can do bugger all to physically restrain him.
does any kind of plasticy/catchy/clippy thing exist to clamp the window handle rigid so he can't bloody open it?

Can you put the car seat in the middle so he can't reach? Autoshades will stop him chucking anything out but won't stop the cold.

he tends to hit the baby when he gets frustrated in the car so putting them closer together prob not wise!
whats autoshades??

There is way of locking rear electric windows to the rear but I am not sure how.

If they are manual, you could take off the handle.

he's a very willful 2.2yr old, and he makes sure im deeply ensconced in the drive before sneaking the handle down.

Hey I know this is an old post but I am having the same problem with my three year old winding down with his feet. I have searched and searched and FINALLY found something on Amazon. It is a game changer!! Anyone still struggling look on Amazon.

I’m having same problem with my grandson. What is the name of the product on Amazon as I’ve tried searching for an item to stop him winding the handle but can’t find one anywhere on Amazon or online. He keeps throwing stuff out the window despite being told not to as well as trying to climb out now he’s worked out how to unbuckle his car seat. Please help

Hi, this is the kink.
If this doesn't work just type in Car Window Safety Lock.
