Carseat problems-- what is that bar called??

Question

i have a three and a half year old aughter who is autistic with other mental conditions. she has learned how to unbuckle herself from her carseat and i am looking into getting one that she can't get out of. i'm looking for the kind with that bar thing that goes across their chest but i don't know what the car thing is called so i can't find them. so if anyone knows what those carseats are called and a store that i could go to that has them??

Answer 1

well from what i know i believe that is called a t bar. what that  does it it  pulled over the head of the child and it locks in to place. the only way you can unlock, ( i believe) is you. that way your daughter  may havea harder time  undoing her seat. my  two year old has figured out how to unbuckle himself too.

Answer 2

Are you talking about an overhead shield where the arm comes down and fastens with a single buckle?

***That is an overhead shield.

Answer 3

T Bar

Answer 4

It is an overhead sheild, but really, they are not as safe as a 5-point harness. It amounts to being a three-point harness, and you can't adjust them as snugly as the 5 point.  Is it the buckle your child is undoing, or is she splippint through the straps? If the latter, try snugging them up really tightly.
