LO unclipped chest buckle

So my LO unclipped the chest buckle on his car seat.  I have him RF, the straps go under and behind his shoulders as recommended, the chest buckle is at upper armpit level and the straps are tightened so that I cannot pinch the fabric.  WTF do I do?  Are covers for the chest buckle safe and ok to use?

    I think there's covers out there; I also seem to remember a person recommending putting a button down or zipper clothing item over LO after they're strapped in?  I think it was emiliemadison (sp?), she was a car seat safety installer or something like that.

    Hmmm.  Would I put the zip up or button down on backwards?  I guess I should maybe call a registered installer to see if the covers are safe.  I can't think of a reason they wouldn't be but want to make sure.  Thanks.

    While add ons are never recommended, I can't imagine it is less safe than LO unbuckling himself.  DS has been very interested in buckling himself but hasn't figured out how to unbuckle yet.  I'm scared for this day.

    No advice, but I am so sorry you are having to deal with this! I am so thankful that DS has shown no interest in unbuckling his.

    She recommended putting a cut sock over it or a strip of velcro, "sticky" side up. I think it was her. Those were the recs I got when I asked a couple of weeks ago.

    What did you end up doing?  Does it work?

    Your son is he-man. I sometimes have trouble unbuckling DS's seat.
