Are children able to buckle/unbuckle the harness themselves?

My barely 3 year old can buckle himself, but still can't unbuckle the bottom, but my 4 year old does just fine!

My children are tiny 8 and 10 year olds and they are able to buckle and unbuckle themselves. My daughter is FAS impacted with a low IQ and she has no problem with this once we adjusted it to fit her.

yes, my kids were able to buckle/unbuckle themselves once their dexterity level was appropriate :)

They can do it as well as any other car seat (the unbuckling is easier for the 6 year old than the 3 year olds, since his hands are bigger and more coordinated). We have 4 car seats, 2 of which are the safety first, and the kids are able to buckle/unbuckle themselves about equally in either (we have a rule that each kid gets in the car and does their buckles, but only a grown-up is allowed to un-do them).

The straps have velcro. They can come completely undone in the front, but are still connected in back. I haven't had any problems with them coming undone when I didn't want them to.

I wasn't aware of a buckle problem. I have owned this seat for my now 31 lbs 3 year old boy for over a year, and while the buckle between the legs is a little short and I always have to go digging for it when I put him in the seat, it is not too short/tight or uncomfortable while he is in it, and I don't have any problem with buckling/unbuckling it.

It's a plastic half circle buckle that you have to thread the nylon strap through and then back out. My 2 year old can't do it, but hasn't really cared. The seat is pretty deep and she can have multiple dolls in it at a time without them falling out.

Sure, you just have to be careful and walk with them until they understand their capabilities. It's not a well designed toy. Kids can easily fall off and get injured. I'd honestly recommend a helmet. I push my daughter around, but have my arm around her body to prevent her from falling off.

it fits any standard buckle clasp. if your child still can or will wiggle out from being seatbelted, this won't help. if they'll stay buckled though, it will keep them from being able to unbuckle

I think it is very easy and yes they stay snug. At first I had to feel around under the little flap that covers the hole but once I felt where the button is I realized I could push down on it effortlessly for the release of the straps. It will not be something children can reach to push themselves. So tightening is simply pulling the strap between their legs and that is easy. Excess strap tucks under the edge of the seat easily so they can't grab it and tighten it on themselves accidentally. Releasing it is just as easy but you will need to be familiar with the button position. I hope this helps. I think it is very easy and yes they stay snug.

No, it's not. The harness even with baby's weight on it is durable and doesn't "sag" under tension. It holds the form so you can unclip it with one hand.

If they do, it's not easy. Mine are used with play therapy and generally, if these kids can get the clothes off, they do. So far, everyone has remained dressed.

Yes. They buckle around it, but they get a little loose and need to be tightened at times

I don't think so...they just need to buckle up... Don't understand how someone would slide out if strap in.

The crotch strap on the harness is not adjustable. I didn't find it to be tight on my 18 month old, but I could see it being a potential problem as she gets bigger.

I used the buckle once or twice. Approximately 99% of the time my daughter was swaddled and not buckled in. Once she tried sitting up in the rock and play we retired it.

Yes, but not while the harness is in use. If the dog is wearing the harness while at rest or play the straps could easily loosen allowing the harness to slip off. I do not recommend keeping the harness on 24 hrs a day.

Yes, there is a lever under a flap of fabric near where the child's knees would be. This is where you can adjust the straps.

It is designed for 2 young children. There are 2 sets of safety harnesses so each child is buckled in. The same harness is designed so that 1 child can sit in the middle alone.

The strap was not elastic, but I would not pull abruptly for that reason. Keep it short until the child gets used to it.
