my 2 year old son has now worked out how to undo the seatbelt on the back seat of the omega
not good as he is taking it off when im on the motorway and miles from a service station and im having to pull on the hard sholder all the time
he also undo's the seat belt that holds the baby seat for my 10 month old as well
does anyone have any ideas on how i can stop him from doing this
ive tried turning the buckles around so the button is hidden behind the belt itself but still no joy

Works to stop our 4 year old undoing the baby seat, trying to be helpful, nothing else.
There used to be clips you could get, but think the safety brigade have clamped down on them, as hard to get out in an emergency.

Handcuffs / Duck Tape [smiley=evil.gif]

My nephew learnt this when I happened to be in the car with the Sister-in-Law. We're a very close family and I spend a lot of time with them so I was told (by her), as I was driving, that I was correct to give him an almighty bollocking! It's worked... He's never done it since! He now waits to be told that he's allowed to undo his belt :y :y
All it took was a good shout in this case and it has been remembered! Perhaps it's because he's normally very good and doesn't get told off much :-/ :-/
-
tried the shouting
no joy
just screams and does it more
little sod
-
Yep, a right good old bollocking worked with mine to including a lengthy stop at one point until he got it into his head that we were going no where until he stopped!

Telling off - failing that duck tape or cable ties.

Not really sure what else you can try TBH... :-/ :-/

Could not agree more, i was always getting into trouble when i was under 6ft ::) ;D
But as mentioned a good bollocking is the way forward.... otherwise we just try and beat devices in our way.
They need to know not to do it.....

put a large scotch in his juice, he'll either sleep all the way or throw up down your neck and talk gibberish ;D ;D ;D

As already said .. "gentle" chastisement .. when my lad did this he had his hand slapped firmly, was not allowed his favourite treats, and was left in no uncertain terms that it was "wrong". Neither of my kids were ever allowed to scream/throw tantrums, so that didn't happen.. he just learned very fast that it was another of those NO things.
end of problem

Wave them around and they will behave.
If it is clear jabbing the brakes on works.

Doubt that'll work on a two year old .. :( 6 and up (and they'll probably enjoy it !!) .. yup .. but 2's a tad young IMHO ... :)

In today's PC environment I'd probably end up in jail .. but it didn't do my 2 any harm .. both reasonably well adjusted mid-twenties now, and they still come home at Xmas... :)
-
he never used to do it in my other car as he could not reach the seat belts
he used to climb out of it when he got bord
any other time he is as good as gold
just gets bord to easy

Agreed. Also as SWMBO's 90odd yr old great grandmother said to her 70odd yr daughter .... "Tha's not to owd for a slap" :y :y :y

LOts too late maybe -- but when the girls were little I told them the car wouldn't go if the seatbelts weren't done up -- worked a treat -- the new little lad though seems a lot brighter --- think James' suggestion of handcuffs is the way to go ---- mmmm ---- where did I put them ???? Should I use the speedcuffs or the furry ones ---- ::)

Boxing gloves.
Duck tape the thumb to the hand of the glove then tie them on tight. If he can undo the belt then, give up.
If that doesn't work put some gloves on yourself and have a dam good fight with him and see who comes out on top. lol :y :y :y

my 2 year old would probly come out on top
he packs a nice punch
took him to the pub the weekend when i went to bristol and he gave this 6 year old a right old smack and sent him off crying
(all over a packet of sweets)

Most of Britains 's populace think it improper to spank children, so I have tried other methods to control my kids when they have one of 'those moments.'
One that I found effective is for me to just take the child for a car ride and talk.
Some say it's the vibration from the car, others say it's the time away from any distractions such as TV, Video Games, Computer, I-Pod, etc.
Either way, my kids usually calm down and stop misbehaving after our car ride together.
I've included a photo below of one of my sessions with my son, in case you would like to use the technique.

errr.......you would be surprised :-/
Mia used to do it all the time, we have a Zafira at the time and she would unclip it and not tell anyone......
one day someone pulled out on me, i was only doing about 15mph luckily, Tracy felt a heavy 'thud' as mia bounced off the back of the passenger seat.....there were tears.......lots of tears, then it dawned on her the purpose of the belt
She never did it again, however i wouldn't advocate it as the outcome could have been fatal
-
if partner is in the car aswell, she'd be better off in the back with them, however if not, leave the kids at home

Some belts are made sort of child proof the middle one in my 99 CD has a belt buckle that has a small hole about 3/8" in it where you have to press to release it I end up using ign key to open as fingers wont !
Mind in 98 V6 Est no such luck "the dog wears a harness sometimes when we take with us she lays on back seat" well she unlocks the std buckle just by standing on it often :-[ :-[
So fitted a piece of plastic over it so she cant press on it (a piece from a flatish type ketchup bottle ) :D
I know stick the dog in the back of estate !!! Do when she gets mucky! :y

slighty extreme but a good mind f&*k works well - give a cornetto & action man to troublesome child (that's also clothed in his fav. clothes )- without seatbelt in a empty car park. move off and then stop quickly enough, so he makes a mess, but his brother only drops his cornetto - throw out 1st childs action man, cornetto & strip him to his pants for home journey - don't allow him toys in the car for about a week - & pamper 10 Month old for being a good boy that does'nt play with his seatbelt
Cruel but fair
Regards

Dunno if this is any use to you but I have this, the belt loops through it and then it slides up and down the belt. You slide it down and it covers the clip. It's made by tuff'n'tumble, if you want you can have it, just cover the postage, I have no need for it now as lil'uns now 6 and had it drummed in to her that its dangerous to not wear your belt. Just PM me.
