Hi
My 2 year old won't keep his arms in his car seat straps even if we have one of those angel grip things that go across the top to keep it secure he wriggles out. If we tell him off, yell at him..the straps are tight the angel strap thing is tight he can still pull up through the top, we have 2 car seats and he does this with both.
Any ideas?

Is your child forward or rear facing?
Make sure the straps are set high enough, and are adjusted correctly. They should be in the closest slot above his shoulders when rear facing and the closest slot to the shoulders when forward facing (both for correct use and to keep him from removing his arms) and tight enough that you can't pinch the strap.

Is this the same as a Houdini strap? I would pull over and give him a smack every time he did it. I have a 2 year old and it’s a tough age for reasoning with them. Does he think it’s a game?
