Total credit to canadianangie for this idea that was mentioned in an offhand way in swap. I made her idea into a pictorial. She's brilliant, clearly!

That's genius. I'm going to try it with my buckles which push back into their holes when you try to buckle up. It's so annoying. Especially the passenger side is so short. I can't really tell if it's twisted or anything.

I have got to try this! DH and I were just saying how that the floppy buckle is the worst part of buckling in my 3-across. Thanks! :D

Now listen, you're going to get Jen's lovely pictorial moved to a private forum if you keep going that up:p

What me? I was thinking completely innocent thoughts, where was your mind? :D

Apparently I have to spread the love around before I can rep, but thanks works. Weird. I'll try to fix that tomorrow :)

Did this idea occur to you before the buckle biter product came onto the market? Or was it a cheap and accessible solution that came to you after that product was reviewed?

I posted that on a facebook group I co-admin, and as of right now, about 24 hours after posting it, it has 80 shares. Crazy.

After. I saw the BB and thought it was neat. I intended to buy a plush toy and make my own, but I have no time for such things. Then one day I was arranging dd's booster next to dd's seat and it just came to me. Take a little chunk of noodle and wrap it around. Honestly it IS brilliant, but I'M not brilliant. I'm just a die hard SUV girl who rocks a cozy three across and needed a quick solution for dd's little hand. With the noodle she doesn't even have to look to buckle. She just... does. Like I do with my fixed stalk. :)
