She unbuckling the seatbelt

Twice now I have gone to put B in her Radian and the seatbelt has been unbuckled. At first I thought a passenger had accidently unbuckled it, which is still a possibility but I'm beginning to think B is doing it. She's just turned 4, so we can talk about it to help correct it, but what else can I do, physically to prevent it? We only have Radians so I'm not comfortable switching to latch in our vehicles, it loosens too easily.

Edited to correct my lovely typos

Can you flip the buckle over so the button is on the inside? Or put a toilet paper roll over the buckle?

Yeah, if you can flip the female end of the buckle a half turn so that the release is on the inside toward the seat that should solve your problem. That's what we did to ours.:)

I do this too when I do a seatbelt install (when I'm feeling masochistic, basically--LATCH is easier for me and my seat has regular LATCH). My ds unbuckled his seat once in a parking lot and I had to reinstall it with him bouncing around inside the car--NOT fun! That was the last time I left the buckle un-flipped!

It seems that I've had it that way in the past. I'll try it when I reinstall it tonight. Thanks ladies!
