Trying to help an acquaintance with her not quite 4 year old (autism diagnosis) that was unbuckling the chest clip.

Things I can think of:

pulling over each time (has tried this)
toy distraction
velcro on buckle
button up shirt (heard this is now a no no?)

I'm not sure why buttoning a shirt would be a problem when people recommend tucking blankets over a baby in an infant seat or placing a jacket over top of the harness rather than wearing it underneath.

If none of those work, Merritt manufacturing is supposed to be offering their escape prove chest clip for sale stand alone soon. (It is a lot like an IMMI chest clip but uses a "key" to open.)

It was an evenflo symphony and then they switched to a hb turbo booster per public heath.

Needless to say child is now unbuckling the seat belt.

Person is thinking of getting a radian due to slimness and younger child has the symphony now.
