I am trying to help a mom who has a young child with autism who is now trying to escape from her carseat while they are driving. Does anyone know if there are special latches or carseats that are harder to get out of?

This question was posed to a number of experts on the WATCH ListServ, and the following are the responses: -I bought a device called BuckleGuard from Babies'R'Us. It slips right over the buckling mechanism and has a tamper resistant cover. It should be worth a try. -Vijaya Tangella, Psychologist -It appears that Babies r us no longer carries this but I did a google search for buckle guard and there are several websites that sell similar devices. Thank you for responding. I also have a family with this problem and I never realized there was a device to be used for seat belts. For the time being, the family placed her back in a harness car seat. -Alison, CCT -I've heard good things about the E-Z-On Vest http://www.ezonpro.com/products/familyVehicle.shtml -Joshua Alexander
