Car seat escape artist

My LB has been escaping his car seat recently even with the safety straps on, it’s terrifying driving down the motorway now 😩 we got this velcro cover to go over the seatbelt connection which worked for a few months but he’s back to climbing out, so he’s sussed how to move that now. I don’t know what else to do, does anyone have any recommendations for different car seats or any other solutions please 🙏🏼 x

What car seat have you got? Have you had a fit check?

@Natalie I have the cybex Sirona T i size. Where can you get fit checks done? I haven’t heard of that before x

@Lauren there are groups on Facebook who do them but also you should be able to go back to the retailer you bought it from. Is he undoing the buckle or getting arms free from fastened straps?

@Natalie oh ok, I’m not on FB so I don’t see useful pages like that. He unclips the buckle and then climbs out. I have his straps tight so I don’t even know how he manages it 😩

@Lauren sounds like it might be time for a new car seat. We have the axkid minikid 2 and the harness fastener is tough to open so my daughter couldn't if she tried.

My little boy done this a few times, until I pulled over one day and was really stern about not undoing his belt. Then if he even put his hand on the clip I would say no! And he hasn’t done it since. It’s such a worry though, specially when driving alone. Sorry I’m not any help, hopefully he will stop soon. Xx

Look up cybex pallas car seats. It was 100% the best thing I ever brought! I brought all these other bits and bobs to attach to other car seats and he always managed to get his way out of them one way or another x

Joie i-Spin 360 XL has tough straps, he won’t be able to undo them. https://ukbabycentre.com/products/joie-i-spin-xl-signature-group-0-1-2-3-car-seat-carbon

Thank you all for your help 🫶🏼
