Car Seats
Hi, my son was 2 at the end of June. He is in the 2nd stage forward facing car seat - only trouble is - he is constantly taking his arms out of the shoulder straps... Even when my hubby has pulled straps v tight he still manages to get out of them. I am constantly giving him a row for it and having to pull over to put straps back on - its really becoming a concern.
Anyone know what I can do about it? Should I change car seats?? I have a britax evolva at the moment.
Thanks

Do you have any toys to distract your lo? A lot of mums recommend the Tiny Love Wonder Wheel. If you keep his hands occupied with something else he may stop doing it??
By the time she was 2 Millie had got a bit bored of the Tiny love wheel, but we did find that books and a drawing toy kept her occupied for quite a while in the car.

I've thought about getting one for my lo in the car as cheaper than the Tiny Love WW.

Bedhead reminded me of it with her suggestions.
The turning round & going home might be worth a try too...
I will let you know how we get on
I would strongly suggest the Houdini Stop, its a chest clip which stops them getting their arms out.
Ive heard similar claims that it takes longer to get them out in an accident, but from what i hear the fireman would just cut all the straps off anyway and they dont bother with any buttons/fastenings in an accident
