Abstract:
The child safety seatbelt securement device of the present invention includes a housing adapted for at least partially covering the release button of a female seatbelt buckle so that direct access to the release button is substantially restricted. The housing includes a mechanism for releasably securing it onto a conventional female seatbelt buckle. Finally, the housing includes an actuator mechanism which is actuatable by an adult for depressing the release button of the female seatbelt buckle on which the housing is secured. The same actuator mechanism is difficult, if not impossible, for a young child to operate, however, due to its complicated or multi-step operation or the force required for actuating it.
