I need two hands to unbuckle it and even then it sometimes takes a few tries. And when we buckle it, it sometimes seems like it is clicked but it's not, it's sort of a pain!! </p> <p>My 6 year old CAN unbuckle her Diono Radian, but you definitely don't need a convertible car seat since she will only be in the harnessed booster for a short time. I'd look into the buckle helpers too - here's a link to one I was looking at a while back!<br /> <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Bucklebee-Buckle-Release-Children-Caregivers/dp/B017PU3OHI/ref=sr_1_3_a_it?ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1538847223&#038;sr=8-3&#038;keywords=car+seat+buckle+helper" rel="nofollow">https://www.amazon.com/Bucklebee-Buckle-Release-Children-Caregivers/dp/B017PU3OHI/ref=sr_1_3_a_it?ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1538847223&#038;sr=8-3&#038;keywords=car+seat+buckle+helper</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/easy-to-unbuckle-harnessed-booster-carseat#post-2849587 Sat, 06 Oct 2018 12:33:26 +0000 PinkElephant 2849587@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: Yeah, her fine motor strength isn't great, so I am not sure a different carseat will really help, but figure it's worth a try since I need SOME kind of seat to move DD3 out of her infant seat. I think for some kids the unbuckling just comes later...a lot of friends have moved to using the seatbelt to avoid the issue, but I don't think I"m OK with that yet.</p> <p>@catgirl: Thanks! I need to get another carseat anyway (DD3 is two years old next week and still in a bucket seat - she is well within the size limitations, but it's a bit of a PITA for her to get in and out), so will need SOMETHING - but these Buckle Boppers look like a good idea no matter what.@ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/easy-to-unbuckle-harnessed-booster-carseat#post-2849586 Sat, 06 Oct 2018 12:23:56 +0000 catgirl 2849586@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You could also look at getting a buckle bopper for her to use - it would help with any seat. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/easy-to-unbuckle-harnessed-booster-carseat#post-2849585 Sat, 06 Oct 2018 12:22:37 +0000 Foodnerd81 2849585@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don’t have a recommendation, but I can say that my 5 year old canNOT unbuckle the crotch buckle on her britax frontier. My friend’s 5 year old can in the same seat but that seems to be an exception. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/easy-to-unbuckle-harnessed-booster-carseat#post-2849584 Sat, 06 Oct 2018 12:20:33 +0000 PinkElephant 2849584@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I need to move my 45 inch, 38 lb six-year-old from her convertible carseat to a harnessed booster. She currently CANNOT unbuckle the crotch of her own carseat (Maxi Cosi Pria), and I'd like this to change in her new seat. I plan to use the harness until she hits at least 40 lbs, but probably 45.</p> <p>Do you have a harnessed booster that your child finds easy to unbuckle?</p> <p>I'm specifically looking at Graco Tranzitions, but open to other models, and she'll be sitting in the back row of a Honda Oddessey.</p> <p>Thanks!! </p>
