Edited to remove the editorial portion since I was getting nasty comments. ;) As a disclaimer this is an after market product. I can only share what I thought of it. If you want car seat safety advice please visit someone more knowledgeable than I. Thank you!
I fully admit that when it comes to the latest/greatest/safest car seats, boosters, and all that jazz I am woefully out of the loop. It was nice to try out the Seat Snug these past couple weeks. It makes sure that the lap belt stays snug against the child so that they remain safe. I know all to well how kids loosen the belts for comfort and I got a nasty belt burn around my neck once when I got in an accident when I was 12. I also saw a program on TV about a child that decapitated by a lap belt when it went around their neck during a collision. This is the stuff that keeps us up at night no? Well, the Seat Snug keeps the belt secure so that kids cannot bounce around, rock, tip, slide, fall over, get ejected, or even going under the lap belt. It works with a booster seat or without. And I now feel more comfortable have this nifty item in the car with us. It is just clipped onto a vehicle’s existing factory installed seat belt. Once a child in a booster seat is buckled up, the lap belt may be lightly tightened around the child’s hips by pulling up on the shoulder strap to more safely secure the child, without affecting the normal operation of the shoulder strap. And it works well with booster seats that have backs…where the shoulder strap part is threaded to keep it across the chest and not across the neck…which is the kind of booster seat we have.
SeatSnug incorporates the unique race track proven, crash tested, and patented CG-Lock technology. The CG-Lock technology received The National Parenting Center’s Seal of Approval as a unique car safety device that stabilizes children in booster seats to increase child safety and comfort.
