what is that? a seatbelt threader?

Michelle · Aug 22, 2007

I guess its just something that will grab the seatbelt so you dont have to stick your hands through the back...

can u tell im bored? lol..my kids are napping.

Oooh, nifty...probably good for the Radian, with that teensy small belt path, lol.

that was my thought. even my average sized hands couldn't fit through the belt path without a few cuss words.

What's wrong with a wire coat hanger?

Patriot201 · Aug 22, 2007

Weird.

Hey now, tuck that ingenious and FREE idea right out of your head, woman, someone's making money off a sucker here!
LOL, just kidding.... It's a great marketing giveaway...I got something that was like a short flexible ruler once, and it was a harness shover...so you could easily poke it through the slots...and it had some Safekids ad on it...I bet it'd be cool advertising if we could give away www.car-seat.org seatbelt pullers at the next KIM conference

Hmm, I don't have a problem with the Radian. Could be that dh's has only a lapbelt in the center spot.... but the Regent is the real pain because it's so wide! I've threaded that thing 4 times, all resulting in knuckles and hands that hurt for a long time afterwards :crying:

Coat hanger = nifty idea, but I really don't want one kept permanently in my car

This would fit in the glove compartment or one of the door pockets. :thumbsup:

Michelle · Aug 22, 2007

Yeah i saw it and thought about using one for our Radian...especially since I am conatantly taking my seats in and out of the car! Its a hassle.

LOL! That reminds me of when I used to keep a wire coat hanger in the bed of my truck because I was constantly locking myself out!

That just brought back a memory of what I always carried in my monster black purse.... a slim jim

Seriously, it was for work.

I responded to a lot of lock-outs. I was really good at opening cars. Since I seemed to be the most frequently dispatched patrol, the guys in the motor pool made me my own personal door opener, so I didn't always have to keep returning & checking one out every shift. :thumbsup: I used it on my own car all of the time. It was always locking on its own.

I wonder where it finally ended up all those years ago

I thought that's what the bungie cords were for at the seat checks? Huh..

I never bothered using those though, I have small enough hands and arms that I never needed them.

wire coat hangers are evil... unless you are using them for any other purpose than to hang clothes lol!!! we always keep some spare for odd things around the house.

Its a cute idea though, and looks pretty harmless.

Oh dear, I'm having a Mommie Dearest moment...

(actually I caught myself screeching, Faye Dunaway-style, at my poor dh when he hung a lovely new Lands' End shirt on a wire hanger right next to several much nicer ones... at least HE's a grownup, he can handle it...

ooooohhhh. someday I may actually have to watch that movie, but putting it that way just shed a lot of light on the whole wire hanger pop culture reference.

Weird, I don't find the bet path on the radian small at all. I can rech my whole arm right through. I have pretty small hand though. Plus, my basis of comparison is my memory of the belt pah for the Century Smart Move.

There was a baby fair here not too long ago, and there was something like that, but it was better, it was like those old slap bracelets, so you can have it be flat like a ruler and you use it to pull the seatbelt through, but then you slap it and it rolls up into a cute little roll about the size of a film canister (except it was taller). It was so cool, and she had a website too, but I can't remember what she called them. She was a regular mom who invented them.
