My friend told me she's laxxer for carpool and they just use boosters for kids that should prob still be in regular seats. So maybe they can do the buckles. My kids are under 5 and still in 5 point carseats. I usually have the older one climb in, and tell her to arrange the straps while I buckle the younger one in, then go back around and buckle the oldest. So maybe you're seeing kids get in but missing the actual buckling?

My 4 year old insists on buckling and unbuckling her 5 point harness. But of course she’s strapped when we take her in a vehicle.

My daughter taught herself. First she learned how to do the chest buckle and a few months later she showed us that she could strap and buckle herself in and out. She was determined and insistent.

Is she able to loosen and tighten the straps as well and get her arms through in a jacket/coat?
Have you ever had her come out on her own when she shouldn’t? That’s my big fear with trying to teach mine to get out.

If she needs adjusting we reach over to assist, but she usually figures it out.
Maybe once she unstrapped herself because she was angry about something and was trying to act rebellious, but never again after that.

It used to make me so very upset to see kids being at risk because of parents negligence or ignorance if car safety. Now I just say a quick tefilah to Hash-em to keep the innocent kid safe...
It's quite absurd how a kid is in an expensive car seat, but not buckled properly or at all. That's just one kind of issue... I've unfortunately seen way to many kinds.
I just daven everyone will be safe.

Yes. This is your answer.
