Hi Everyone,
My 4 year old son can buckle himself into his carseat (Britax Blvd). He does a great job, positions the chest clip perfectly, gets it tight, etc.
But he can't unbuckle. I don't know if it's that he's not strong enough in his hands/fingers or if it's just lack of practice. He tries to push the button on the buckle and just isn't pushing hard enough. Also, he doesn't know how to undo the chest clip either. The only thing he can do is loosen his harness.
Since he'll be starting kindergarten this fall, and the school has a valet system for drop-offs, he'll be required to unbuckle himself. Do you have any tips or advice to teach a child how to unbuckle himself?
Thanks much..
