We offer these pieces of equipment to people with special needs who cannot understand the dangers of not being fastened safely in a moving vehicle. However it is not suitable for sunken seat belt buckles or on the very few vehicles where the buckle thickness is greater than 29mm. The BuckleRoo's patented unique design blocks small fingers from pressing the buckle release button during travel, keeping curious or mischievous kids from getting out of their seat and distracting the driver. It's designed to remove the need for a high-backed or backless booster seat, as it ensures the adult seatbelt sits across the correct parts of a child's body to provide protection without applying too much pressure.

The Angel Guard needs brute force to remove it, but is more suited to those vehicles where the seat belt buckle is recessed within the seat itself. We crash-tested the 5 Point Plus and our experts didn’t see any negative effects on the dummy loads (that's what our tests use to replicate a child being in the seat). The press release goes on to say “the alert was intended to support operators to ensure the safety of their passengers” and that it had wished to “highlight” the potential safety issues inherent with the guards and that the first action by DVSA examiners upon finding evidence of the use of the seat belt buckle guards would be to offer “advice and guidance about vehicle and passenger safety”.This is so that, in the event of a crash, it will speed up the rescue and removal of occupants from the car. It’s designed to stop children pressing the buckle button while you’re driving, and is marketed at any children who are strapped into their car seat using the adult seatbelt (such as with a group II/III car seat).

The BuckleRoo™ Seat Belt Buckle Guard prevents little fingers from releasing seat belts while the vehicle is in motion. This ensures that the accessories offered enhance the consumer experience by offering added comfort and practicality, but doesn’t interfere with the crash performance of the car seats. But it does mean that you shouldn’t use this device if your car seat is only installed via the Isofix points and your child is strapped in using a harness. Personalized advertising may be considered a “sale” or “sharing” of information under California and other state privacy laws, and you may have a right to opt out.Additional padding or material between the seat and its fixing could mean the seat is not as firmly fitted as it should be, which could have serious consequences in a crash. Furthermore, the warranty of our car seats will be invalid if an accessory not developed by us is used in conjunction with the seat, ie a permanent attachment to the seat. is only to be used when anchoring an infant seat and when the child seat utilises the safety belt as the fixing method! You should not use a footmuff with any other type of car seat, as it will cover the harness buckle and prevent an easy release of the buckle after a crash. However, they confirmed that this is not too much of an issue if your child is strapped into their car seat using the car’s adult seatbelt, as that will absorb most of the impact.
