 Think twice before using this. . .Jan 24, 2004
As a child-passenger safety technician, I cringe whenever I see a product that helps parents circumvent proper seat installation! If a seat is installed properly, using the correct technique, this item is not necessary. Most instructions tell you to "put your knee" into the seat & show a picture of an adult standing in front of the seat with their knee in it. WRONG! Put your WHOLE BODY WEIGHT into the seat! The 40 lb. weight limit is not for the plastic shell's weight capacity, it is for the shell's capacity for the straps to not break through the plastic upon impact with a 40# child in it. I'm almost 200# in full police gear & haven't stressed a seat yet! Also, please DO NOT use a rolled up towel to obtain the 45 degree angle for rear-facing seats. When needed, Techs will use a section of foam "pool noodles," (sometimes 2-3 taped together with strapping tape). This provides a more solid spacer. Even these are not usually necessary & the seat can be held in place with proper placement and tension, but parents usually "feel" better with the spacers. (It's a psych thing) If a tech does their job right, YOU will be able to install the seat in almost any vehicle. YOU should ALWAYS be the last one to put the seat in at a seat check, not the Tech. Not only to mitigate liability for the tech, but to demonstrate to the tech that he/she has done their job right and you can at least install the seat properly in the vehicle you brought with the seat! To check for tightness, grab the seat at the area of the vehicle belt path and try to move it. If it does not shift/slide sideways or pull away from the vehicle seat (1" max limit, but I prefer a "zero tolerance" approach), it's tight. For leather (and some slippery fabrics), a piece of rubber shelf liner between the car seat & vehicle seat, will take out the slip. Another tip: if using a locking clip, it must be within about an inch of the latch plate (buckle) and NOT on the opposite side of the seat! If you've tried your best & still can't get a good fit, PLEASE contact a technician in your area & have it checked! There are very few "true" incompatabilities between car seats & vehicles, but there are some. Even a good tech can spend up to an hour before being able to get a proper installation in some instances! Good luck, happy parenting & stay safe!

Do not useJan 05, 2007
By Concerned Parent
This device cut the seatbelt completely off in a auto accident. T-boned at about 25mph and it ripped seatbelt causing the carseat to be thrown. Thankfully no major injuries. This device will damage your seatbelt.

I do not recommend at allDec 13, 2003
We bought this for safety, and then had to have it removed by the fire department, after calling the customer service department for the product who could not help and said I was the first call about this. We couldnt get it off and was told by the fire department who installs car safety seat that this was not a good product and they have removed several of these.

Unsafe! Not recommended by vehicle makers or safety experts!Apr 17, 2004
By D. Kessenger
"buckleupsafely"
As a nationally certified Child Passenger Safety Technician (CPST), I have completed the standardized course consists of 32 hours of classroom & hands-on training, numerous skills assessments & written test to obtain certification. I also keep up-to-date with the most current safety information available. CPST's are recertified every 2 years with a refresher and a skills assessment by a team of instructors. The majority of CPST's are community volunteers. While some are safety professionals, often the majority of the CPS portion of their job is outside of work hours.
This product is not recommended for several reasons.
**It is an aftermarket product!** A 2002 CRS (child restraint system) misuse survey states "Other CRS misuse problem areas were also observed. They included ... presence of aftermarket devices."
**Seatbelts are designed to have some "give" to the webbing. This helps with the ride down of crash forces which reduces injuries in a crash.
**Use of this device WILL damage seatbelts. Call your vehicle manufacturer and ask them if they recommend using this product. The answer will almost definitely be NO.
**It most likely will not withstand crash forces and WILL become a projectile which could injure the child or other occupants.
For more information on this and other Child Passenger Safety topics, visit the National Highway Transportation and Safety Administration's website at http://www.nhtsa.dot.gov
-----Please note that not all firefighters, police officers, doctors, nurses, or EMTS are certified in Child Passenger Safety! Ask if the person is currently certified when seeking advice!-----

DO NOT USE THIS PRODUCT!!!!Jul 25, 2003
By jjc1776
"JJC1776"
This goes against the manufacturers instructions for both the child safety seat and the automobile. This product is unnnecessary and can actually cause damage. Overtightening a seatbelt can damage your childs safety seat and it can also cut the automobile seatbelt. Both of those things can cause severe injury or death to your child. I am a certified car seat technician and I would never, ever, buy this product.
