FAQ
How does it work?
Smart Kid Belt works off of what engineers have been designing and perfecting in your car for years. The closest comparison of its safety characteristics are to car integrated boosters, but instead of raising the child to fit the seatbelt we bring the seatbelt to the child. This way the child can use the vehicle's seat belts and get the benefit of any advanced seat belt functionality (e.g. belt pretensioners and load limiters). Enhancing your child's safety with Smart Kid Belt is as simple as attaching it onto the car belt, where its clips connect to the lap and shoulder part of vehicle seat belts. The stable, highly adjustable and precise fastening of Smart Kid Belt’s strap with the car’s seat belt significantly reduces potential strains that are dangerous to a child’s health in the event of an accident. Smart Kid Belt is a very simple but powerful invention that makes these adjustments quick and effortless. After Smart Kid Belt is installed the child can easily buckle and unbuckle itself every time in a seconds.
Who should use Smart Kid Belt?
Smart Kid Belt was tested and approved for children weighing 15-36kg. You should definitely use Smart Kid Belt until your child is 12 years old or 57" tall, even if your state law doesn't require you to do so. The NHTSA (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration), AAP (American Academy of Pediatrics), and many other organizations suggest that children should be using CRS (child Restraint System) until they are at least of this age or at this height, as this is about the time a car seat belts alone fit your child correctly.
Why Smart Kid Belt?
Smart Kid Belt’s biggest advantage over other child restraint systems (CRS) is its enormous convenience and simplicity that doesn’t compromise its safety. Simply put, it’s small, portable, and it will help to keep your child safer on the road. In our opinion, the best CRS is one that is painless to install, easily available and easy to use, as there are far too many children travelling without being secured by a CRS of any kind or misusing their CRS in a way that can be even more detrimental to their safety. Smart Kid Belt’s straightforward design ensures that you will be able to install it properly and buckle your child securely every time. Furthermore, once installed, your child can buckle and unbuckle him or herself from it without any help! The more complicated a device is the more frequently misuse can occur, which leads to less protection for your child. Accidents happen when you least expect them, but if you can use a restraint system every time, even during short 5 minute trips, it will lead to your child being much safer.
Smart Kid Belt is so small and lightweight that it can go with you or your child anywhere. Keep it in your purse, bag, or pocket so that your child will never be without a CRS. You can even put it in your child's backpack so that he or she has a safe way to get home from school or practice while carpooling! There are no more excuses to not restrain your child while on a trip or carpooling. Finally, older children don’t mind using it, which is a BIG plus in a holistic child's safety approach. All in all, we hope that the uncomplicated and user-friendly design of Smart Kid Belt will help families consistently keep their children safe.
Is Smart Kid Belt really as good as a car seat?
We believe that there’s nothing better than a backwards-facing car seat and that you should keep your child in one for as long as possible. The only problem with child car seats is that they are misused much too often because parents face their children forward too early and keep them that way for too long. Issue with this is that when children get older they feel too restrained and no longer want to sit still, so parents choose to start loosening up the harness to the point that it is no longer safe and the child would be better off in a high back booster seat utilizing seat belts instead of harness. Obviously, there are situations where car seats should be used for longer; but like always with child passenger safety, a lot depends on your child and on some other factors. So rather than misuse a car seat with your child, Smart Kid Belt can be the better choice.
Is Smart Kid Belt better than a backless booster?
Boosters are a safe and established child restraint system (CRS), but are much more prone to misuse, as data/research has shown. On top of that, many of them are poorly designed.
Boosters are good if you and your child use them correctly every time. The biggest issue we observe is that there are plenty of situations where children are not using a restraint at all. Starting at age 5, parents begin to abandon booster and car seats, not because they’re unsafe but because they get tired of dealing with them or do not have them readily available especially when they are in a car that does not belong to them. In fact, only 20% of children ages 5 to 8 are using some kind of CRS, and this number drops down to only 10% ages 8 to 12. Regardless of your state law, you should be using a restraint with your children until the age of 12 (based on NHTSA, AAP and many other institutes and research guidelines).
Unfortunately, there is no single perfect CRS because it always depends on many different factors; one CRS can be better than the other under specific circumstances and vice versa. However if you feel your child is ready for backless booster seat and is at least 15kg, than most likely he or she is ready for Smart Kid Belt.
Who created Smart Kid Belt?
Smart Kid Belt was created by a group of parents with a background in engineering and many years working in the child safety industry. Thanks to their hard work and knowledge, many products have been created that ensure the safety of children and the peace of mind of thousands of families. The design of Smart Kid Belt is the result of observations in the industry and the market, as well as research and statistics on how CRS are used, misused, and often not even used at all! This, topped with a willingness to acknowledge and respond to the real problems of parents around the world is how Smart Kid Belt came to be. We work with an absolute belief in our product after many commercial tests have been performed on it by independent research institutes.
