A Seat Belt Clip As Seen On Dragons Den!

I have ordered mine. Thank you!0

Have ordered as well. P&P def a bargain. Son is 11 and just over the minimum height but is very small framed which affects how the seat belt lies. This seems an ideal solution to our needs.0

Great service. Received mine in this morning's post. Actual postage was £1.27 plus jiffy bag. Charge for P&P was 1p.0

I bought one of these at a baby show ages ago and have just gone online to look for another. My sons, 3 and 6 are still in highback boosters, which I think are still a bit safer than the clip as they keep them more secure from sliding sideways in an accident. However, I use this clip when I have extra kids in the car so I don't have to carry around spare car seats. The clip does exactly what it promises and makes any seatbelt fit any toddler or small child. I feel perfectly safe using for the short, low-speed local journeys. I am looking forward to having one for each of my third row seats and being able to bung 4-5 kids in my 7-seater at short notice. Excellent product and nice to know one is supporting an individual entrepreneur/inventor.0

Just a warning - these devices are not a replacement for a car seat. Adult car seats are designed for people 150cm tall or over. Children have 2 problems:
1. The diagonal belt sits on their neck (this device will solve this problem)
2. They will "submarine" under the lap belt because their pelvis is too small for it. In the even of an accident the force misses their pelvis and is put onto their internal organs instead - very nasty!
You need to use a booster seat in addition to this device (or instead).
Also, there are other devices similar to this which do not carry and ECE approved label. Do NOT buy one of these alternatives - they work by connecting the lap & diagonal belts together, the problem is that this raises the lap belt up. If used alone or with a suitable boosster this is extremely dangerous! I used to have one of those (with no ECE approved label) but I have disposed of it, although it made the diagonal belt comfortable for my daughter I realised it was doing more harm than good.
This device is ECE approved so it's OK, but not an alternative to a booster seat.0
