We got this extender because the backseat of our Saturn Vue is just SLIGHTLY too small for the required seats for our 3 children and it would be impossible for my 5 year old to buckle himself into his booster without it.

HOWEVER: He has a fairly standard booster seat, and this 8" extender is too long for his seat. Obviously it's my own fault for not measuring and it still works, but I'd recommend paying close attention to how long you need your extender. I wish we'd ordered a 6" one instead. But this one still works.

ALSO: It took a few attempts to get this securely attached the first time we used it. For a moment i thought maybe they'd sent me the wrong buckle size, but i checked and it was correct so i forced in in a little harder and it finally worked. Doesn't snap in quite as easily as the regular seat belt male end does. But once you get it plugged in properly it works great! Just what we needed! Now when baby #3 is born in a few weeks i have peace of mind knowing that ALL my kids will be safe in our tiny car.

I purchased this extender for my 2012 Honda Accord, to use with my oldest's booster seat. With three car seats jammed into the back of my car, we needed something that would enable her to buckle herself without having to cram her hand between the seats. I made sure to measure the tongue of the seatbelt that I intended to use with the extender before ordering to make sure I was ordering the correct size, as the product description instructed to do. When it arrived, I immediately took it out to my car to install it, but it seems that the tongue is too short. I tried it in the other two buckles, hoping one of them would work but no such luck.

I called customer service to find out the best way to return the extender and the representative was very nice and helpful, and I was told that they didn't carry an extender for my car that would work in the middle seat. I feel that customers should be encouraged to call customer service BEFORE ordering so that they can avoid the hassle of returning and waiting for a refund.

(Edited to add: I gave 3 stars because I feel that the reviews on Amazon shoukd reflect not only the product, but its description as well. I took the necessary steps to make sure I bought the right product, as the description instructed me tondo, but that clearly wasn't enough. I was pleased with customer sevice, but I don't think this product quite meets a 5 star rating.

How did I not know about this before?! After 2 yrs of struggling with the kids not being able to reach either own seatbelt buckle (thanks to the boosters being so huge) this has solved all of my problems. We have a 2012 Chevy Tahoe.

Literally it just clicks in. Genius.

Snapped right in and now I can wear my winter coat.

Be sure to measure if your belt is 1" or 7/8"

It seems that some car manufacturers stick to industry standards. I went to the Mazda forums and found out that Mazda makes seat belt extenders for the front seat but not the rear bucket seats. However, many people pointed out that the Rigid Type B extenders work perfectly for the back seat. I would suggest that you pay a visit to you car forums and see what people have to say. After all I'm sure your not the first person with a Honda or a Suburban that has kids. I can say that for an Rx8 this item works perfectly! Cheers!
