I'm often tempted to give that a whirl. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-4-yo-escaping-car-seat-belt#post-2671565 Thu, 29 Dec 2016 18:39:14 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2671565@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I agree that at this point I would be more looking out teaching him then a physical barrier. Eventually he's going to be in a regular seat Belt and needs to learn how to respect being in a car </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-4-yo-escaping-car-seat-belt#post-2671496 Thu, 29 Dec 2016 16:05:40 +0000 lilyann 2671496@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I told my then 3 year old that the police would stop us and we would get a ticket if he messed with the chest clip (and that if we hit another car, he could go flying out-so it is not safe), he never did it again. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-4-yo-escaping-car-seat-belt#post-2671495 Thu, 29 Dec 2016 16:05:34 +0000 SweetCaroline 2671495@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What a stinker! :happy: Have you tried imposing any consequences for him when he does this or explained the importance of being buckled properly? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-4-yo-escaping-car-seat-belt#post-2671492 Thu, 29 Dec 2016 15:53:31 +0000 Eminthevalley 2671492@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Okay, one of my nearly four-year-old twins keeps escaping his car seat safety belt. He's in a Graco Head Size, not a booster. No matter how snug I get the belt, he wiggles until he can move the chest clip down and get his arms out of the belt, then leans forward. The clips between his legs remain buckled but obviously this isn't a safe way to ride. What is the solution? </p>
