What I did to stop my dog from releasing the seatbelt by stepping on it.
I own this seatbelt and have a very excitable 94 lb pit mix. After several dozen safely buckled in trips, the other day she got excited and spun around several times in the back seat and stepped on the seatbelt release. Luckily I had just left the driveway and was only going a couple of miles an hour when she launched out the window to go visit her friend next door that was making the racket that got her all excited. Was it this product's fault? No. I don't think so. It did just fine. She just managed to release it from the mechanism just like a person would. If your kid is popping the seatbelt release it's not the seatbelt's fault, right?. You stop that from happening by finding something that keeps them from pressing the release. Here's what I did to make it harder for my girl to release that buckle. I took a plastic cup, cut a slit that was just wide enough to slip the buckle through in the bottom of the cup, clipped the belt to the seat buckle, and then slid the plastic cup over the mechanism. Now she steps on the cup instead of the buckle release. It works for now but I'll probably keep my eye out for something that fits a little bit snugger over the seatbelt receptacle in my truck. I've attached pictures with this post. Disclaimer. So far this is working well for me. It might not be the right solution for your situation. Hopefully my idea will give some of you ideas of your own that work for you. Love to see what others come up with. One other thing while I'm at it. The length of the belt. I have a Dodge Ram Crew Cab. My "large dog" wears a harness, gets clipped to the center seatbelt in the back and has just enough reach to get her head out the window. That's as far as I want her to go. So for me, the length of this seatbelt when at its full length is just where I want it. She drools all over the outside of the door, gets tired of standing after a while, then lays down. Everybody is happy. :)
