The gruesome twosome are currently and repetatively demonstrating their best Houdini moves in the car and getting out of the car seat straps with their upper bodies.
It bothers me because it's not safe and I have to keep pulling over to deal with the straps.
I've searched high and low for something to hold the straps together which would be safety recognised and not work in contravention of the safety guidance for the car seats, and found nothing.
So, finally I've found something. I have to check out the safety side but since Graco make them I think it's promising.
So, in case any others parents have Houdini's in the making

I found out why clips are not available in the UK - because according to this site http://www.privategp.co.uk/history.htm
The UK and EU do not approve based on potential time to release the child in an emergency.
