MyBuckleMate Review - Creating Car Seat Independence

Seat belts are not made for kids. They are challenging to pull, often twist, and tricky to buckle. Learning to buckle a seat belt becomes especially challenging when you add a booster seat to the equation. I’m excited to share a solution for this common car frustration with a MyBuckleMate review.

MyBuckleMate is an invention from a mom who wanted a seat buckle solution to help her children be both safe and independent. She envisioned back seats where children and individuals with limited mobility or motor planning difficulties could buckle independently – every ride, every time.

We installed MyBuckleMates in the back of our minivan and immediately noticed a difference. Both our 6 year-old and 8 year-old sit in booster seats and seat belt buckles can prove elusive. The buckles get stuck under booster seats, move too much while kids try to clip, even get jammed between seats. MyBuckleMate helped solve this problem simply, by keeping the buckle in place and preventing the booster seat from shifting over the buckle.

I don’t want to climb in the back seat every time we get into the car and my kids want to be independent. MyBuckleMate makes it consistently possible for my kids to buckle quickly and safely. It also eliminates much of the frustration of “I can do it myself” when your child transitions to a booster from a harness. Getting in the car and going stops being a 5 minute battle with the buckle and everyone’s patience.

I would recommend this solution to other families because it meets a real need with a simple and affordable solution.

Easy to Install. It is truly easy to install with just a minute to spare and zero tools required.
Affordable. You can buy a set of 2 MyBuckleMates for $13.95 to $15.95, in a color that compliments your car’s interior.
Easy to Use. No learning curve here. Just install and begin the process of learning to buckle independently.

This video from MyBuckleMate does an excellent job of showing how seamlessly it works in your car, even accommodating your seats when they fold down.
