Seatbelt issues

Yamelal's picture

New to this site and blogging all together. So if I am posting in the wrong place, please let me know.I have an 8 year old autistic son who has  finally discovered how to unbuckle his seatbelt in the car. The other day he was in the back, unbuckled his seatbelt, climbed up to the front seat and opened the front passenger door, all while I was traveling at 60mph on a busy Hwy.  It all happened so fast, I could not pull over fast enough without causing mayhem on the Hwy. He has since done this a few times. The child locks are always set in the back, so he could not open the back doors.  But even with the door locked in the front, the car door can be opened just by pulling the handle. Has anyone else ever experienced this!! Do you know of any additional restraints that are available in the market so that he cannot unbuckle his seatbelt?
