Buckle-upp Anti Escape System for Children Car Seat Safety

Product Information

The 9th February bulletin advised that the fitting of buckle guards to seat belts would breach regulation 48 (4) of the Road Vehicle (Construction and Use) Regulations 1986. The BuckleRoo™ Seat Belt Buckle Guard features shatter-proof plastic construction and a built-in breakaway key for emergencies.

Splitter plates like this are found on the back side of many child safety seats, and allow you to unhook harness straps so you can slide standard chest clip off straps and replace with Chest Clip Guard.A spokesperson for RiveMove told us: 'Before launching our product into the market we carried out numerous tests in CSI Spa (Italy) in accordance with regulations ECE R129, with which groups II/III car seats are homologated, demonstrating its safety. These 4 or 5-star reviews represent the opinions of the individuals who posted them and do not reflect the views of Etsy. We believe that using the Smart Kid Belt would be no safer than transporting your child using just the vehicle seatbelts, something that is prohibited for children who are less than 1. This is because trying to make eye contact with your little one, or see what he or she is up to while you're at the wheel, stops you concentrating on your driving. This is so that, in the event of a crash, it will speed up the rescue and removal of occupants from the car.

The company says it's had the Smart Kid Belt independently tested to the relevant Standard, and the results prove that the Smart Kid Belt is safe and effective. On the other hand, an accessory which is not attached to our car seats won’t affect the warranty as it won’t have an impact on restraint performance during a crash. They tend to be used by operators for school or local authority transport to ensure children do not unbuckle their seat belts without the driver knowing, which of course would be a safety issue, and would be very difficult to monitor by the driver when the vehicle is in motion. To help those with children who place themselves and others as risk by undoing vehicle seat belts, we offer the Buckle Guard, Angel Guard and Buckle Boss . What’s more, if you own a car seat that claims to comply to the R44 car seat regulations, using a chest clip could mean you’re breaking the law.

It's designed to remove the need for a high-backed or backless booster seat, as it ensures the adult seatbelt sits across the correct parts of a child's body to provide protection without applying too much pressure. The idea is that you clip it to the adult seatbelt to pull it down and up so that it sits across the correct parts of your child's body.
