Seat Snug – a review

Posted by Dawniemom on November 22, 2008

Hi there! welcome back - have you entered my latest giveaways?

My baby girl (who is 5-1/2 years old and weighs all of 32 lbs.) just recently moved to a booster seat in the car, from a regular strapped in car seat. The problem we’re finding with booster seats, particularly with our minivan, is that there’s nothing to keep it secured in the vehicle. So the child in is top heavy, and therefore, gets tossed around when you’re going around corners or, heaven forbid, in an accident.

Personally, the person who created minivan seats to be like ours are should be smacked. There’s no way for them to sit securely. The creators of the Seat Snug understand that.

What’s the Solution?

The brand new SeatSnug® allows the lap belt to be lightly tightened around a child’s hips while riding in a vehicle, preventing seatbelt slack or looseness from developing.

By gently securing a child while riding in a booster seat, SeatSnug® substantially eliminates bouncing, rocking, tipping, falling over, submarining, and ejection, thus reducing the potential for injuries and death in vehicular accidents. At the same time, SeatSnug® improves child stability and comfort.

As a side note, if you’ve been around the net long enough, you’ll be aware of the acronym RTFM. I didn’t.

When I received my Seat Snug, I glanced at the instructions – figuring how hard can it be? Yeah – I’m that goofy. So then I spent forever freezing my butt off trying to fix what I’d messed up LOL

Seat Snug understands that, too LOL They even warn you beforehand – this is very difficult to remove – DO IT RIGHT! They provide VIDEOS on their site to show you how to install it.

When I finally got it taken BACK off, I READ THE INSTRUCTIONS, and had it installed in 5 minutes LOL Now, when I put Libby’s seatbelt on, it stays tight across her lap. She’s able to move forward freely, but she doesn’t rock back & forth when we turn corners. She is secure. To me, that’s worth it’s weight in gold!
