  Help - other than chopping his hands off what can stop him.......?!

  Crazychick Joined on 30-Dec-2005 United Kingdom Posts 3,646

  Contact I dont think a product exists but my 22 month son has learnt how to undo the buckle of his Brittax car seat! It is a great game making mummy pull over the car and do the buckle back up. Disciplining a 22 month old is pretty difficult and he obviously does not understand the safety implications. Does anyone have any ideas please?   Thanks   CC x So lucky to conceive after nearly 2 years to the day of trying. Our 2nd IVF was successful.

  Marley Joined on 23-Sep-2006 United Kingdom Posts 4,510	Contact Oh good gosh that sounds a bit difficult! Can you wrap a muslin or something around the buckle once it is fastened to prevent access? Distract with a snack? Could you ring the manufacturer? You'd think they'd make buckles child proof, or have some suggestions as to what you could do.

B went through this and I did the above and went on about how upset mummy was when he did this. Was thinking of putting something extra on the buckle but someone pointed out it woulld make it difficult to get him out in a crash. At 30 months he is now in a booster seat (based on his size) and he is incredibly sensible in it.   Click to find out about my avatar My blog: http://dontbesillydear.blogspot.com/

  Contact Jasmine can't undo the buckle but she can arch her back until she is out of the straps!! We don't use the car all that often and never without two adults in the car so it isn't a huge issue. However with J, the more I react the worse she gets. Can you try something covering the buckle which you'd be able to get off but he wouldn't? BTW, so fab to "see" you all again! I am not pregnant again (yet...)
