My Little Contortionist (sp?) - Help!

[danielle13]

Can anyone help..?

DD (20months) has recently started pulling her arms out over her shoulder straps in her carseat, so that she only has them around her waist.
No matter how tight they are she can do it without a hitch.

It really worries me and I'll pull over and fix her up several times each car trip but it's getting to the point where by the time I'm back in the car she's already pulled them out -
Any suggestions??

My DS2 did this...

R the straps tight enough??
not too tight but quite snug??

I've had two children do this. One is now 7 and the other is 16mths and is trying it on. The other 2 have not bothered.
I'm not sure what the solution is tbh. I've tried tightening the straps but he's like Houddini he still gets out.
It has subsided a bit but he can do it and always, always pulls his arms out every trip.

I, too, would be interested to hear other suggestions.

You can get something (not sure what its called) but it goes around each shoulder strap and clips together to stop them getting pulled off the shoulders IYKWIM. Maybe check a good baby store or a place that installs carseats.
