I bought this for my 8 year old autistic son as we have been having problems with him reenacting an educational video about car seats, in which they buckle and unbuckle. The website gives no information on how the Houdini Stop deters being unbuckled, but I figured I'd give it a try. My 8 year old (functions at about the age of a 2-3 year old) had it off before I could pull out of the driveway. There is just a small clip on each side... either one can be undone giving two opportunities to unbuckle versus one.... DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS. My Precious Kid LLC, a company that claims to help special needs families has a horrible return policy... NO RETURNS on anything opened, although stated, it is a ridiculous when you are dealing the products for special needs children. A complete waste of 25 bucks.

I would love to say that I really liked this product and that it did what it was supposed to do. However I only like the idea of it. When we got it, it only took our son about a week to figure out how to open it up. The snaps are exactly the same way that the normal chest clips are and they attach to each strap. Our son figured out how to open those chest clips about 7 months ago and we have been trying to find something to keep him from opening the chest clip and climbing out of his seat. It was quite frustrating to spend $20 on something only to find out that it didn't keep it locked. Maybe it should be a push button instead of the clip style. I don't know. All I know is I am now out $20 and still trying to find something to keep my son from opening the chest clip.

Bottom line, if your child doesn't know how to open a chest clip but just moves it down to get out of the seatbelt then this product is good. It stays in place really well! I think if our son didn't know how to open those chest clips then he wouldn't have figured out this clip so quickly.

Short and sweet... it does what it is meant to do. My daughter hasn't been able to get the straps over her shoulders with this product on, as long as it is snug against her. Houdini stopped my escape artist.

I purchased 2 of these for my 2 year old son. He can now open every car seat clip we have tried. I first got a supposedly stronger clip from the carseat manufacturer. He figured that one out before I got it on the carseat. The Houdini Stop may work with some children, but my son figured out how to open it in less than a month. I purposefully put it high enough on the strap that he could feel it, but not see it. Now he can easily remove it and one is lost.

It is easy to put on and remove with one hand. The best thing is that is does not slide up or down when latched. I guess my kid falls in the 5% smarter than the designer.
