Editorial Review
As many years of research have revealed, the best way to keep your baby safe while riding in the car is to place them in a car seat that has been properly installed, with restraints that have been properly adjusted for a snug fit. The Mighty-Tite car seat belt tightener makes car seat installation easier by allowing you to tighten your vehicle's seat belts and reduce the amount of slack around the base of your baby's car seat. Installation is very easy. After positioning the tightener next to the car seat and fitting your vehicle's seat belt through the included spindle slot, simply ratchet the tightener's handle until the seat belt is snug around the base of the car seat. Removing the belt tightener is also very fast and easy. --Chris Burns

Customer Reviews

Think twice before using this. . .
As a child-passenger safety technician, I cringe whenever I see a product that helps parents circumvent proper seat installation! If a seat is installed properly, using the correct technique, this item is not necessary. Most instructions tell you to "put your knee" into the seat & show a picture of an adult standing in front of the seat with their knee in it. WRONG! Put your WHOLE BODY WEIGHT into the seat! The 40 lb. weight limit is not for the plastic shell's weight capacity, it is for the shell's capacity for the straps to not break through the plastic upon impact with a 40# child in it. I'm almost 200# in full police gear & haven't stressed a seat yet! Also, please DO NOT use a rolled up towel to obtain the 45 degree angle for rear-facing seats. When needed, Techs will use a section of foam "pool noodles," (sometimes 2-3 taped together with strapping tape). This provides a more solid spacer. Even these are not usually necessary & the seat can be held in place with proper placement and tension, but parents usually "feel" better with the spacers. (It's a psych thing) If a tech does their job right, YOU will be able to install the seat in almost any vehicle. YOU should ALWAYS be the last one to put the seat in at a seat check, not the Tech. Not only to mitigate liability for the tech, but to demonstrate to the tech that he/she has done their job right and you can at least install the seat properly in the vehicle you brought with the seat! To check for tightness, grab the seat at the area of the vehicle belt path and try to move it. If it does not shift/slide sideways or pull away from the vehicle seat (1" max limit, but I prefer a "zero tolerance" approach), it's tight. For leather (and some slippery fabrics), a piece of rubber shelf liner between the car seat & vehicle seat, will take out the slip. Another tip: if using a locking clip, it must be within about an inch of the latch plate (buckle) and NOT on the opposite side of the seat! If you've tried your best & still can't get a good fit, PLEASE contact a technician in your area & have it checked! There are very few "true" incompatabilities between car seats & vehicles, but there are some. Even a good tech can spend up to an hour before being able to get a proper installation in some instances! Good luck, happy parenting & stay safe!

Do not use
This device cut the seatbelt completely off in a auto accident. T-boned at about 25mph and it ripped seatbelt causing the carseat to be thrown. Thankfully no major injuries. This device will damage your seatbelt.
