Buckle-upp Anti Escape System for Children Car Seat Safety

Product Information

NOTE: Can only be used on car seats that feature a splitter plate on the harness, which is found on the backside of the car seat(see photo below). Our belt guard comes in 2 neutral colours black or light blue as we don’t want to draw their attention to the belt buckle and the red button, we want to distract them from it. Buckle-upp is a cushioned harness belt protection system that stops children from unbuckling themselves from their seat.

The BuckleRoo™ Seat Belt Buckle Guard prevents little fingers from releasing seat belts while the vehicle is in motion. Also, in an accident, there's a real danger that the forces of a crash would cause the mirror to come loose and hit someone. The additional buckle is the first thing you see when you open the car door so there is no confusion as to how to undo it. These devices are to be used only for the retention of child seats or similar vehicle fitments that utilise the seatbelt to hold a chair.These buckle guards are better suited to belt buckles which sit further down into the seat, or for buckles with a buckle next to them that don’t have much space, as they are much smaller: https://incarsafetycentre. This is because trying to make eye contact with your little one, or see what he or she is up to while you're at the wheel, stops you concentrating on your driving.

But it does mean that you shouldn’t use this device if your car seat is only installed via the Isofix points and your child is strapped in using a harness. You should not use a footmuff with any other type of car seat, as it will cover the harness buckle and prevent an easy release of the buckle after a crash. We got expert viewpoints from our car seat testing team on whether the enormous range of accessories available are safe or appropriate to use.

The seatbelt triangle pad is designed to pull the cross-body part of the adult seatbelt away from your child’s neck, and provide additional padding. Two ways to release the buckle after installation of the buckle guard: Slide thumb under the guard and push the release button, or u se the provided tool to open the buckle (in an emergency any pencil shaped item can be used to release buckle). Our car seat testing experts were concerned that this could potentially increase dangerous amounts of pressure on the soft area of your child’s abdomen in the event of a crash. The DVSA appear to take the view that as such, seat belt buckle guards are not compliant with the regulations and in their view, they pose a significant safety risk. This buckle guard is bulkier but can be used with most buckles that aren’t set down into the seat, and it works like a medicine bottle top: https://incarsafetycentre.
