Seat Belt Extension - Safe??

zipee

Hi I got a seat belt extension on ebay, it is about 8 inches long and clips into my normal receiver and then offers a new receiver about 8inches further out.

I was having an awful job reaching around my daughters car seat and reaching the original receiver every time I put her in the car. She can now do it herself!

But are they safe to use with car seats?

Any opinions or advice????

This is what I got http://www.ebay.ie/itm/New-360mm-Seat-Belt-Extension-Extender-25mm-Buckle-/270748404955?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item3f09dcccdb

Thanks

No manufacturer details and no design / manufacturing standards. It might be safe, but hter eis no way of knowing with a reasonable level of certainty.

Thanks Victor! While it is completely brilliant in what it does I have been nervous of it. Thanks. Might forget about using it.

Thanks for reply.

I'm sure there are reputable products. I'm just suspicious as to whether this is one.

motability in ashbourne do them, but they know how to charge. Anyhting they'd sell would be very good though.

e.g a Standers Handybar



they charge over €100 for these. Normal RRP is about €35

OT: They're very well respected, but sometimes I think they're creaming it from unfortunate people.

Eh, completely different product. Or are you just using it for price reference? http://www.overstock.com/Health-Beauty/Standers-HandyBar/5771042/product.html - I'm not sure if those catches are designed to hold a person's weight.

Just as an example. Same craic with things like dteering wheel spinners, satnavs etc
