I have just fitted one of these things to stop my tich of a DD being garroted by the seat belt when in her booster seat. They are brilliant - retail at ?12.99 and are a brilliant invention.

Thought this was a great product when I watched DD the other night. Wish it had been around when my 2 were younger.. Really liked the guy who invented it as well - hope he does well with it.

I didn't quite udnerstand this. I f a child is still beign garotted by the seat belt, shouldn't they be in a car seat? ds is four, and would be garotted, but is in the high back. dd is 6 and is fine in a normal booster cushion without being garotted.

depends on the design of the seat Kelly. Have a look at the pictures on the website.

I see! It would depend on the car. We don't have problems in ours, but in some of those pics, the seat belt was way off where it should have been. Def a good idea then.

Even with a booster seat some seat belt diagonals sit really high, my car is Ok but MIl's car belts seem to be higher. DD's booster seat has a clip to do this attached on a belt to the seat

agree expat, but wasn't there a thread where someone was swooning over him?

Probably the same saddos who find David Tennant sexy.

Duncan's the dry boak, but he makes even David Tennant look good.

also thought at the time that the new laws (old laws here) would make this obsolete but obviously i was wrong

Betterware have marketed a seatbelt adjuster for years. It fits on the lap part of the belt but by making sure that part is right it automatically realigns the shoulder part.

£2.99 for 2 so a lot cheaper too.
