Is the guard breakable? My son has had a number of buckle guards and he just snaps them and breaks them off.

I'm sure it could be broken, but not easily. This one is pretty durable it seems.

I'm sure it could break, is made of plastic, but we have had no issues so far and have used it daily for about 2 mos. now.

We have not had ours break. Our son doesn't really touch it. Once he knows the lock is on he realizes he cannot get the seat belt to release.

It depends on how strong the person is. It is a plastic box so it can be broken but it is not super easy to break unless you are pretty strong. If it is already buckled, they would have to push down pretty hard with their thumb, or use something to push or pull with that would break the bars. This is literally a plastic box with slots so that you can strap the buckle in between it and the child cannot push down to unlock it. You need a popsicle stick key or some other long pointy object to pop it open.

I first put the collar on with room around his neck, next thing I knew he was trapped with it in his mouth. My husband grabbed him and I struggled to get it off him using the buckle, I then made it tighter. This collar is NOT a breakaway as they claim, so be very careful.

You can't really break anything, but the battery packs are a bit bulky and have a tendency to unclip if you bump them at all. Certainly, you could use additional straps to secure them. I don't think any dancing or stomping is going to damage the product at all!

No. The back of the buckle is padded and I've used the mirrors many times without any problem at all. I love the mirrors. They are very quick to install and remove. Very little vibration if any.

Not if installed properly. Padding/belt fits between the buckle and the paint. I have mounted and un mounted approx 50 times with no problem.

Mine doesn't snap in place either. My son pulls it out all the time to play with it. It hasn't broken yet and he's pretty rough with it.

You just have to be careful. I have taken it in and off a few times and it didn't break.

The plastic buckle on our most recent one (ordered in May 2013) partially melted and stretched our of shape so the strap tends to slip. Trying to get Carex to replace it. But we had no problem with another one and used it for years until a seam broke. Duck tape fixed that for a while. All in all, a good product.

the strap is a basic velcro strap. Other parts no sure. I dont see it breaking from normal use.

Mine did not break off but I did tape a feather on it to make it more fun. Hope that helps.

It is not permanently attached to the buckle. You can move it from car to car if you want.

Hey Victoria: My son broke his band too probably by tugging too hard when taking the watch off. I'm gonna write to the company now to see if replacement bands are available. Please post if you found another band. Thanks, John

The buckle across the waist is a very large plastic one. The ones around the legs are solid metal on the male part and metal with rubber coating on the female half. However, there are two metal rivets coming through the rubber coating that hold the latching mechanism in place. I don't know about all the harnesses out there, but I like the idea of metal buckles around the legs, as they will be taking the brunt of the stress should you fall. Since this was my first harness, I wasn't going to buy the most expensive one out there, so I had already thought about putting some camo fleece tape on the buckles if noise became a problem, but it wasn't.

I am just guessing but I don't see any reason why the guard would not stay in place (especially if it has an adjustable collar)

HiSo far the I've not had any problems with the belt on mine. Sorry I could not be if more help

No it is not via the buckles but only thru belt strap. By the way, it is a horribly designed harness. Poor quality as it can get. Hurts my pug's neck/chest as it is sooo disproportionate. Don't think of buying it otherwise you will be hurting you pooches neck/shoulder. Stay away.

The buckles are just decorative. There are snaps behind them. I pulled the snaps and replaced them with magnetic closures.
