Any advice on car seat safety son with Asd who likes to escape

NAS63007

Hi. I'm new on here my son who is nearly 3 has recently being diagnosed with autism along with sensory processing issues hyper mobility and low muscle tone

hes an escape artist and can undone houddini straps and has started to get his arms free of his car seat when the cars moving to try and get out. 

Does anyone have any experience of this and any ideas on what I can do ?

Any suggestions would be great 

many thanks

  • Hi, I don't have experience of stopping a child escaping from the car seat straps, but I am an adult who finds car seat belts really uncomfortable. I endure using them because I have to, but I put padding where the belt crosses my shoulders.(Obviously they have to be fairly tight fitting to be any use, and that's the area which feels the most irritating.) So it might help to do something similar for your son, if you aren't already.
