Has anyone tried attaching a safety pin, paper clip, chip-clip, or ANYTHING to the seat belt strap to prevent the grabber handle from sliding down?

My experience is that the grabber handle fit tightly enough on the seat belt that it did not slide at all.

The one I have is so tight, I have to manually slide it down to allow the seat belt to fully retract. Maybe yours is defective.

what about sewing a button on the seatbelt - we've had the plastic bumps on seatbelts in the past that broke off.. to keep the seatbelt 'latch' from sliding down.. I sewed a button (using heavy duty upholstery needle and buttons both front and back..

In my car I just tuck the hook under the seat as best as I can. What I found is that the hook will catch very slightly to stop the cover from being completely removed from the seat when my larger dog moves around. In my husband's truck, there are actual anchors installed on the seats (which I assume are there to secure cargo) so we use those to keep the cover in place when we are in his truck. I have found between the seat headrest straps and the elastic straps, the cover stays in place very well without the need for additional anchoring although it is nice to have the additional ability to secure the cover in the truck.

If he means the clips that are hooked onto the handle straps, down at the base, we have a shoulder strap attached to two of those. Is there a strap in your contents? If he means the slide-in buckles (like a baby car seat) that are at each end when its all rolled up, those go down to the matching buckles at the very bottom of pack...to hold the upper part down securely. We didn't see those right away, as they were under the base. Hope he's already figured it out, Christy From: Amazon Answers

Hi, I have as yet to use that feature, but the directions say to remove the seat pad, and part of the back (the tall part) comes off, and you only use the lap safety belt, rather than the 5 point harness.

When I was deciding on a car seat, I purchased (and returned) 4 other seats, and this particular problem (being able to reach the seat-belt release) is a deficiency of all the seats I tried that have booster or shoulder belt convertibility. While my son did release it once, I came "unglued" and seem to have sufficiently scared him from ever touching the buckle again. Additionally, I found that if I have the harness tightened appropriately (making sure he only has 2 fingers of space) he can't reach it. The biggest deciding factor for me was that my son was unable to fully free himself once strapped in properly (he was able to loosen the straps on the other brands and unbuckle and then he was out!) The Frontier 90's harness strap release button is to far in for his fingers to reach it.

No. I am sure I could rig an automotive seat belt to the chair but there are no attach points that I can see for an aftermarket easy solution.

I just tried it and it does NOT. I like it a lot except, the whole thing will slip off of my belt when I get into a low car. I wish the belt went through a loop instead of clipping on.

So far I have not had any problems. I preferred the belt loops because I feel more secure in not losing my phone. I have seen too many guys dropping their phones when they get out of a vehicle and I don't want to be one of them.

None I can think of. My little one started using it around the same height and weight. Remember... There is no between the legs strap. I advise you to use one of those grippy mat jar opener things to put on the seat to help prevent any sliding.

I believe that there is some sort of strap that one can purchase separately which can be attached to something in the vehicle to keep the ramp from moving around and/or slipping. I am not personally familiar with the item.

No it does not prevent the seatbelt from retracting. The clip easily slides along the seatbelt.

Yes, that can happen however I have found that safety pinning the strap to the seat belt has reduced some of her range of motion and keeps her a bit more settled into the spot where she should be. Now and then I still have to get her untwisted, however much less now with the strap pinned down.

Yes, I have used the LATCH/Isofix system with no problem. It has cut outs to accommodate either this or standard lap/shoulder seat belts.

We did not experience that problem, sorry, no help there.But you can adjust the 'snugness' for the straps....effectively preventing the problem occurring.

I haven't tried myself, however it looks like a small Allen key will work. On the side of the housing that has the safety, the top screw by the clip appears to be a hex. Let us know if that works out for you!

I managed to get the front seat belt wrapped around it and clicked in place. It wasn't a sure thing but kept it from sliding forwardin braking situations. Hope this helps
