273-2-9-18 BuckleRoo Seat Belt Buckle Guard
Hey there! Welcome to Accessibility Minute, your weekly look at Assistive Technology, those clever tools and devices designed to help people who have difficulties with vision, mobility, hearing or other special needs!
Does your child have a habit of unbuckling his or her seatbelt while you’re driving? If you’re looking for a way to stop your kiddo from pressing the release button during travel, check out the BuckleRoo Seat Belt Buckle Guard.
The BuckleRoo’s patented unique design blocks small fingers from undoing the seat belt. It was designed with children with emotional or cognitive disabilities in mind. To use, simply slip the BuckleRoo over the buckle receptacle and connect the seatbelt as you normally would. Then you can drive safely knowing your child cannot release the latch.
Once you’re ready to unbuckle the belt, you can stick your car key into the release slot and disconnect the belt.
