Guest guest Posted July 31, 2006 Report Share Posted July 31, 2006 We used the EZ _N Vest manufactured by E-Zon Products, Inc. www.ezonpro.com Mine was bought by the SD so I can't tell you the cost. It can be put on fron to back so that the zip is not accesible. Just make sure that the straps fit right - took two people to get it adjusted - one to hold kid still, one to adjust.

Guest guest Posted July 31, 2006 Report Share Posted July 31, 2006 does it wrap around the seat or do you have to install a hook to the floor of the van? We bought something from ez on but my husband could not figure out how we would bolt the hook to the floor of the van without major problems.

Guest guest Posted July 31, 2006 Report Share Posted July 31, 2006 Lee Ann: I bought a 5-pt harness for Tori, but never used it. It fits all passenger vehicles and seems to be more difficult to open on the kid's part. I posted it for sale but have not yet had any buyers. Liz car seat? Hello, My son is going to be 8 years old this month and is getting frustrated when he has to sit in a car seat. He is about the size of a 4 or 5 year old and still needs to be in some sort of safety seat. A booster would work but he does not stay buckled in. We have a 12 passenger van. Does any one know of a harness system that is easy to install into a van? It would need to be something he could not work his way out of. Thanks so much, Lee Ann Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 31, 2006 Report Share Posted July 31, 2006 It actually goes over and under the seat. It is real easy to install and is quite secure. I will email you personally with a photo of it.

Guest guest Posted July 31, 2006 Report Share Posted July 31, 2006 LeAnn, my dh drilled 2 holes thru the floor of our van and attached seat buckles/belt. the seat buckles hold the car seat in place hes gonna need a new car seat too hes beginning to escape.Mic is so low tone he can do amazing things to escape.I also am looking for something bigger and escape proof too.Hes getting out of the one the school bus has too.He shugs his shoulders and slides the straps if they made it tighter and it leaves marks on his shoulders he still manages to get those straps off. The bus driver has to stop and put them back on. Laurie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 2, 2006 Report Share Posted August 2, 2006 Hi, we had the same problem with Hannah. We ordered the Snug Seat Traveller Plus by Britax (it's a car seat) and our insurance even paid for it. 5 strap harness system, went high enough where it could support her head if she fell asleep - which unfortunately only happened once. It's big, but we used it in our mini-van. a (Hannah 9) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 2, 2006 Report Share Posted August 2, 2006 Hi a, So your daughter couldn't get her upper body out of that 5 point harness? The problem we have is that Katy will get her arms out over those central buckle things and then will push the belt down until it's just around her waist. Then she'll lean over and try to open the van door, which if we don't remember to lock, she can very easily do and has done while we're driving down the freeway. Fortunately, knock on wood, she hasn't figured out how to unlock it YET. But from looking at the Snug Seat site, the belt system looks very similar to what we currently have, and she can get right out of it. Let me know if there's something I can't see from the tiny picture on the website. Thank you! kpblackmail@... wrote: Hi, we had the same problem with Hannah.

Guest guest Posted August 3, 2006 Report Share Posted August 3, 2006 Hi , Perhaps the car seat won't work for you. Hannah is not an escape artist. I think it is pretty much your same type of 5 point harness. a Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
