Seatbelt accessories
Buckle guards can be used to stop a child unbuckling their seatbelt while travelling in a car or bus. There are many available on sites like Amazon and require a small key to open them. For children who can still escape their seatbelt or open the guards themselves, a more heavy duty option is a Crelling harness. The manufacturer recommend that a seatbelt cutter is kept in the vehicle to ensure the occupants of a car are able to exit quickly and safely, particularly in the event of an overturned car.
Another option is a vehicle harness which is worn like a waistcoat and depending on the brand can have a range of ways to open it.
