The adult seat belt is not meant for little passengers as the shoulder and lap belts do not fit them at all. What’s worse is parents try to make do by pulling the shoulder strap behind the child to prevent the strap from strangling the little one. This is clearly a very unsafe practice but many parents are not aware of this as they think that the lap belt is sufficient to prevent the child from getting flung out of his seat.

To make travelling safe for bigger children who have outgrown their car seats but are still too little to fit the adult seat belts properly, I highly recommend Safe Fit Auto Seat Belt Adjuster & Positioner. As I have not seen any of these seat belt adjusters over here, I trawled the Net and was happy to find Safe Fit Auto Seat Belt Adjuster & Positioner at Amazon.com. What I like about this awesome safety device is its nice and soft faux suede fabric makes it comfortable for the little ones unlike some seat belt adjusters that are made of plastic, incredibly hard and poke into tender flesh.

This Deluxe Seat Belt Adjuster is suitable for bigger kids over 50 lbs as it repositions the shoulder strap so that it does not cut into the child’s neck or face. It also keeps the lap belt positioned securely low on the child’s hips to minimise the probability of the child getting flung out of his seat.

For just $9.97 with shipping not included, I urge parents to invest in this innovative gadget to help keep your precious one safe while travelling.

This is one of my best investments. Combi’s Urban Stroller is one of the very few lightweight strollers with carrying capacity of up to 55lbs (25kgs) and is ideal for bigger kids. Weighing only 10lbs, this stylish stroller is light enough for mummies to lug around and its front swivel wheels makes manoeuvring this baby such a breeze. At 41inches in height, this stroller is great for taller mummies and daddies too. The quick and easy tri-fold mechanism makes stowing away effortless and opens the stroller with just one hand.

Its extra long canopy and weather shield ensures that your precious one is adequately protected against sunshine, wind and rain. The cupholder at the side makes it convenient for your child to reach for their own drink.

At only $69.99, this portable stroller is a real steal at Babies R Us.
