FAQs
What are BuckleBuddeez?
BuckleBuddeez are simple soft silicone sleeves that slip around the car seat harness webbing and prevent the harness webbing from twisting. BuckleBuddeez also keeps the buckles upright and in a position where you are no longer playing hide n seek or digging for the buckles in the seat or under your child.
How do they work?
BuckleBuddeez wrap securely around the harness webbing above and below the buckle of your 5-point harness car seat in seconds. This slim design keeps the car seats webbing aligned as the webbing passes through the buckle and prevents the webbing from twisting. Made of soft, flexible silicone, BuckleBuddeez adds just a few millimeters of thickness to the webbing, and therefore it does not impede on the latch and allows the webbing to fit properly with your child in the seat.
Are BuckleBuddeez safe?
BuckleBuddeez are made of ultra-thin, flexible silicone, which means they introduce virtually no new space between your baby and the car seat's safety webbing. Bucklebuddeez are dishwasher safe, in overly hot vehicles during summer time the product does not get hot and in cold weather it maintains its flexibility. Car seat manufacturer Kids Embrace now includes BuckleBuddeez with every seat they manufacture. ChildSource--the car seat distributor behind many trusted brands like Graco, Chicco, and Safety1st--is offering to purchase BuckleBuddeez as an add-on.
Per car seat manufacturer engineers, Bucklebuddeez is a product that does not impede on the latching mechanisms or buckle tongues and it can be added or removed from the car seat easily just like the soft comfort harness pads that you find on your car seat. Trusted brands like ChildSource and Kids Embrace, however, have determined that BuckleBuddeez provides enough benefit to be offered as a standard accessory on their car seats.
