Does anyone know where to get one? I seen them in One Step Ahead, but they are for kids. I need one for me. With my boobs and belly, my belt never sits right. OSA says theirs is crash tested. Any ideas?

I got a random belt clip (you know the red ones ) that attaches to nbb and looped it around the LATCh anchor to pull the shoulder belt down where it belongs. It works wonders! Maybe something like that could work for you (and be a lot safer).
Is it the lap part or the shoulder part that is off?
Whenever I ride in the back of my mom's Sport Trac the shoulder belt is cutting across my neck, so I got a random belt clip (you know the red ones ) that attaches to nbb and looped it around the LATCh anchor to pull the shoulder belt down where it belongs. It works wonders! Maybe something like that could work for you (and be a lot safer).
Those are called active head restraints, and yes the X5 has them, but I'm not sure why that would prevent BMW from putting in a height adjustable shoulder belt. Our MDX has active head restraints and we have height adjustable shoulder belts.I was quite surprised that you could not adjust the belt on the X5, but dh says it is because the headrest moves up in an accident to help prevent whiplash.
Even if, after all that, your belt doesn't fit, if you are quite petite you could consider one of the broader backless boosters like the Harmony backless. Even a pillow in your seat would be better than a belt positioner.
