    Thank you. They tell you it’s a shoulder belt Guide strap, but no explanation on how to use it. This was super helpful.

    Strange that I didn’t find a video with this explanation on the vendor site. Only a small picture on the booster. Super helpful.

    Thank you! Actually safe and saves me from buying the extra stuff that in turn saves me money on top of keeping my little safe. Just installed with the built-in adapter as you show me how to into my parents' car. Super easy!

    So, if the seat belt sits on the child where it should, then you don't have to attach it? And if they don't need it, do you just let it hang loose or whatever, like you don't do anything with it?

    Thank you. Just to be sure, this isn't used with the high back booster, correct? Only when we transition to the backless?

    • @megan.hackworth
      @megan.hackworth  Před 22 dny +1

      @@mommawolf9653 that's right. Because the high back boosters have the belt guide built into the back.

      Yes. Not only did I find one on the garage floor while cleaning it out, I found one in a drawer in the laundry room. I usually keep parts and we had two Graco 4&1, plus a booster. The kids are 4 apart. I had my 4 year old on the booster for a week but momma complained about the strap and ease of disconnecting. But now that I found the adjusters I’m at least going to remove the car seat in my van. I’m over the car seats. Lol but thanks for the video. No long presentation for a 1 minute act. It was straight to the point and helpful as I think you intended.

  • @realmisr

    Question…are you supposed to pull all the slack out of the seat belt after you buckle them in? Or do you leave it loose like with adults? Just buckle and go?

    • @megan.hackworth
      @megan.hackworth  Před 11 měsíci +1

      There's generally no need to lock the seat belt with booster seats. As long as the child is sitting with the belt properly positioned across their body, the emergency locking mechanism of the seat belt will keep them safe. Great question!

  • @CapCityDC
    @CapCityDC Před 7 měsíci

    Does the seat belt positioning clip and strap come with the seat? If yes, is it stored in the seat or loose in a bag, if in a bag I guess we misplaced it.

    • @megan.hackworth
      @megan.hackworth  Před 7 měsíci

      The answer to that depends on which booster seat you got. You could always contact the manufacturer and ask for a replacement

    • @megan.hackworth
      @megan.hackworth  Před 5 měsíci

      Oh I've seen some where it comes threaded wrong. You'll need to rethread the end through the plastic so that it will stay put.

  • @marylouoliver5714

    Like where does it hook to in the back?

    • @megan.hackworth
      @megan.hackworth  Před 5 měsíci

      You just slide the shoulder portion of the seat belt through the belt guide and position it at your child's shoulder. Then the strap goes behind their back and it just helps position the seat belt in the right place.

    Thank you for putting out this video to explain what it actually is and how it is applied. @Jovikids maybe you want to hire this lady to help you put out an actual useful product video which demonstrates how to use your seats safely, instead of the pointless unboxing videos you have on your channel.

    I don’t see no difference

    • @megan.hackworth
      @megan.hackworth  Před rokem

      The difference is that the belt guide strap holds the shoulder belt up against the middle of his collar bone instead of it cutting across his neck. 🙂 Comfier for the child, but most importantly, safer!

    • @melissahall5596
      @melissahall5596 Před 4 měsíci

      It still on his neck when you let it go. You was holding it till the end and when you let it go it went right back to his neck. I dont see how this was heping

    • @megan.hackworth
      @megan.hackworth  Před měsícem

      @@melissahall5596 yep you're right. I was just demonstrating where you would adjust it to. I didn't actually make the adjustment on the strap because it would've taken longer than I wanted. If I were redoing the video, I would probably actually adjust it correctly and just edit it to speed up through that part, but at this point I wasn't thinking about editing it down.
