Editorial Review
We don't often say, "Buy three of these right now." But locking clips are cheap, not enough people use them, and they could save a child's life. At least with most car designs, they're an absolutely essential part of in-car child safety, because without them you often cannot secure a baby or child seat tightly enough. One day--not soon enough--there will be sensible car seat and seat belt designs that don't require parents to be contortionists with time on their hands. Until then, there are locking clips, and once in a while they get lost. It's not a bad idea to carry a spare in a purse or diaper bag just so there's always one available. --Richard Farr

May seem unimportant but is not May 31, 2001
10 out of 11 found this review helpful
This little peice of metal seems to be unimportant but is surly not. One comes with most car seats. And untill I had to use it I thought it was silly. One day I was in my freinds car and her seat belt does not lock on its on, it is one of those over the shoulder kind in the back. So I pulled out the locking clip and locked the belt. I felt so much better knowing that my baby was safer and that the seat belt would do its job. This clip was great and it really worked well. I recomend it if you loose or misplace your orginal one ( which is not hard with a new baby) or if one did not come with yours. You may not need it now, but when it comes to your baby's saftey you won't want to be with out it.
 hassle to use, but you need it anyway October 17, 2001

It's a pain to install in some cars, like my 1994 Honda, but you'd be crazy not to use it. Great idea to buy multiples - we left ours in my mom's car after she was here on vacation, and I couldn't wait to get it back.
 The best locking clip ever made! September 21, 2001
3 out of 4 found this review helpful
It's a locking clip, and it works. It's a piece of metal and there isn't much that can go wrong with it. It does exactly what it is expected to do and no more. This is a good thing. I believe that they didn't even have a problem with feature bloat in the design of this product. What could be a better product to build and sell. As long as there isn't any metal fatigue and the piece doesn't cause the belt to be cut you are in pretty good shape. I had thought about making this piece myself, but for the price how could you go wrong. And now if it fails in a wreck the liability is shifted to a multinational corporation. This is a wise investment. I can't think of anything more to say about this marvelous product.
Works perfectly. June 19, 2008

I purchased this item to safely secure my daughter's carseat in an older model car. My husband installed the carseat in under 10 minutes. Without this clip the carseat slid a lot. After putting the clip to work, the carseat stopped shifting improperly. We are totally satisfied with the product.
Very Important Child Car Seat purchase! September 11, 2008

This works with all standard car seat belts, and all brands of child car seats. YOU MUST HAVE THIS if you own an older car and have a lap/shoulder belt-mounted child car seat or car seat base! YOU DO NOT NEED THIS if you use the LATCH mounting system. In most older cars, with a combination lap/shoulder belt, regardless of what kind of retractor or locking mechanism the vehicle has, if you don't use a locking clip (or if you have one and attach it to the wrong part of the belt, as I did until someone explained it) and you have an accident--or even just brake hard or turn to try to avoid an accident--your car seat or car seat base will likely pull the slack out of the lap portion of the belt and will get additional slack from the belt that goes up to the shoulder mount. What this looks like is the seat tilts away from the side where the shoulder belt anchor is, and toward the front of the vehicle, producing a twisting motion which is dangerous to the child's back and neck. What you want is (assuming your car seat or base is already strapped in securely first) to lock the shoulder belt to the seat belt BETWEEN THE TWO LAP ANCHORS, rendering the shoulder part of the belt irrelevant, which also keeps that dangerous slack away from the lap belt. This is the best and simplest design for this clip...just a flat piece of metal cut in a shape that allows the middle of two flat webbing straps (seat belts, in this case) to be slid in from one side, with both belts getting tucked under the "ears" that stick out at both ends, and the middle bar staying on the other side of the belts. Most car seats are supplied with one of these (look underneath or on the back of the seat for the place where one would be stored when not in use). IF YOU DID NOT GET ONE OF THESE WITH YOUR CAR SEAT OR CAR SEAT BASE, THIS COULD BE THE BEST PURCHASE YOU EVER MADE. ** Also consider the Graco model sold on Amazon, nearly identical for less money.
