17 month DD who gets out of seatbelt...What to do???

Howdy

My 17 month old girl has just started taking her arms out of her car seat
harness (6 point regulation etc)

So I tightened them right up, I can only get a finger or two underneath....now she has started getting out of that too!

She doesn't go anywhere, just leans forward or sits there but in a crash, she would be flung out easily!

Does this happen to anyone?
Any products out there?
Any ideas?

Cheers,
mandy

there is a strap that can go in between the arm straps... not sure what its called you should be able to get it froma baby shop though

Yep its called, Infa - Securap. It prevent toddlers from slipping the car seat harnesses off their sholders and getting their arms out. You can get them for under $20 including postage online.

I agree with the above. Both my kids did this around that age too, little devils!

I've seen them in Big W too if that helps.

Ahhhh yes my DD1 did (and does still) get her arms out..we bought one of the securaps...NO GOOD! She still could get out. We tried alot of things but nothing worked. She is now 28 months old and still does it. My MCHN said everyt time she does it, stop the car, put her arms in and explain the risks and why she has to keep her arms in.

Although i think she hears me say Chelsea..Arms in NOW....and she puts her arms back in..LOL
