Rear Seat buckles problematic

[RobQuads]

Does anyone else find that the rear seat buckles push down into the seat such that you can't easily get the seat belt into it. The kids find it a real pain trying to get the drivers side one in. Feels like the bracket its in is too flexible.

You can get these from Amazon or search for seat belt buckle holders on Amazon for alternatives.

My mother has complained about this, although I haven't found it to be an issue myself and she has struggled on every car I have owned.

Must be part of the qualifications for being a mother as mine used to struggle finding the seatbelt buckle too, and that was the front seat never mind the back ?

Wow they wre not cheap for what I expect is a small piece of plastic. That's per buckle. Has to be a cheaper alternative somewhere.

There are cheaper ones available on Amazon or have a look on AliExpress. That was just to give you an idea what's available.

You’ve spent how much on the car and are complaining about pieces that will cost between £17 and £24…? ( Depending if you want two or three )

Come on.

I got these ones for £8 on Amazon, I suspect they're identical to the other ones just re'branded'. Do the job nicely.

The rear seatbelts/buckles are a potential issue.
One of mine jammed in, the passenger had to wriggle out.
When I lowered the rear seat to see if that would release it, the belt then tightened to the point the seat wouldn’t go back up.
So my rear seat passengers suddenly had nowhere to sit.
Bloody embarrassment.

My series 2021 MG5 does the same. Winds up the mother in law, so there are some benefits ?

Yes older people struggle with the rear belts ..... Had quite a few moans from passengers..... You need 2 hands to fasten them might look at the solution from Amazon and see about 3d printing my own

Let us know how you get on with them

I bought the ones I posted above, 2 pack for £7.99 and they certainly do the trick, they've been in around a week and no more faffing with the seat belts, even my 6 year old can do it one handed again.

That looks great, actually quite discreet too

It fits in the rear passenger side seat belt recess a lot better than it does the other side because of the middle seat buckle, still not bad though.

Takes a bit of fiddling to position it but once it's set, the buckles don't really move.

 

[siteguru]

That'll be perfect for me, as only that side rear passenger seat is generally available - the other side and middle buckles are taken up with the dogs' harness belts.
