Eloisa used to do this and I was also at wits end.. Then one day in the car she

did it whilst we where driving at a stage where I was very worried about how

another driver was driving (pretty certain he would cause a accident) and I

shouted SO LOUDLY at her to stop it immediately scared her senseless but she

stopped after that in the car. (probably traumatised for life ;o) but at least

she is now safe)... So I am sorry not got any advice but perhaps try one of

those cupboard lock things (you know where you sort of have 2 loops)

& expecting a Christmas delivery...

My therapist told me the way to achieve true inner peace is to finish what you

start.

So far today, I have finished 2 bags of chips and a Chocolate cake.

I feel better already.

also does this when ever we stop the car, traffic lights etc as

he thinks we are getting out!! I did the same shouting thing and it

worked for us too, now if he does it I just say to him " Quick we are

going, put you straps back on!!!!! " all excitedly and he does it. It

has become a bit of a game.

Good Luck, another alternative is to put them in a seat that uses the

normal seat belt as DS stays put the who journey if he is in his

brothers seat, which fastens like this. Obviously It depends on their

age!
