car seat Houdini
« on: June 01, 2006, 13:50:08 pm »
Any tips for how to stop a (barely) 2-year-old from coming out of the straps of his car seat? Is it time to move to a group 3? He is 15 kg.

How is he getting out?  Does it use seatbelt in the car or baby strap things(sorry dont no what they're called)?

It uses straps, and he can take his shoulders out. I am having to keep stopping the car t o restrap him. It is driving me crazy.

my 2 1/2 dd can get out of hers.....she can wrrigle one arm through a strap, then the other. but then she's screaming for help as it's too tight under her arms, lol.  i have no idea....we make it good and tight but when she wants to make me stop the car, she can get half her body out.  i never drove much longer to see if she could pull herself up and out.  i plan to keep her in this seat as long as possible b/c a simple booster would be useless!

And is she in a group 2 seat that has its own straps, or the group 3, that uses the car seat belts (but not just a booster seat)? Because my boy is in a group 2 and I wondered if I should change to the other kind. They are supposed to be from 15 kg which is what he weighs now.
