- It is removable, which means you can easily and quickly install and uninstall it whenever you wish. It just buckles onto any ordinary buckle.
- It not only extends the length of the seat belt, but also moves the shoulder belt’s pivot point about 10˝ making it fit much better across the upper body.
- Apart from your own car, you can carry your seat belt extender with you and use it on other different vehicles as well. It is especially handy when you take a taxi or a hire car.
- It can be used in front seats as well as rear ones, and it is equally convenient for larger occupants as well as for installing a child capsule or seat.
