    Could you maybe make the straps longer, twist them together and then clip them in? I don't know if it would work, or if it would be safe? Just a thought!!

    Trish i tried the toy/food thing...its fine til she gets bored (liek 2 mins later) and then she cracks the wobblies and gets out....if its not going her way then the arms come out.

    If i make the straps sooo tight its impossible to buckle her up..AND she still finds a way out

    Its doing my head in!

    We have this thing that holds the straps together at the chest so they can't get the arms through.

    It works for DS (i think he got out of it once, but we also get very cross and make a big deal of pulling the car over and saying how dangerous it is).

    I'll find the name for you. Highly recommend it.

    ETA: Look up SECURAP on ebay - it's made by Infa.

    I did the same as Yael and pulled over every time Joel did it and told him off. Some kids are more strong-willed though!

    Hope you find something that works soon.

    Oops, helps if you read the thread. I would pin it to the straps so she can't push it down.

    Kim this isn't something I'd normally recommend, but do you know anyone who is a policeman?
    Maybe they could help her learn. ...about being a good girl and leaving her belt on, rather than no it's naughty (I know it is - but Darcy seems to go better with "this is how you can be a fantistic little helper" as opposed to the attention for being naughty). I wouldn't recommend however getting them to show her what happens to naughty girls etc cos then they beocme frightened of the cops (nothing more heartbreaking I can tell you).
