kids and seat belts
« on: 16 September 2008, 15:31:21 »

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.

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 :-/ :-/

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.

Bit late in this case but contraception has always worked well for me. ;)

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.....

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
