Works as intended, but

My 4 year old was easily able to unbuckle her Graco Extend to Fit 5 point harness buckle, but the little latch that allows the bottom portion to slide onto the buckle strap kept popping off and was lost within 3 days of use. So, I had to reattach with a rubber band. It doesn’t allow the device to stand straight against the buckle strap anymore, so it’s a little more difficult to use. I wouldn’t purchase this again because of the limited durability.

Pros
  • PERFECT FOR SCHOOL DROP OFF: When used for your mature child, it is the perfect unbuckle device and kid’s learning tool to allow them to unbuckle their five point harness themselves.
Cons
  • It may not be made from sustainable materials

Very helpful in my review

This has been super helpful. As my child gets ready for school, it would help during pickup and drop off if she’s able to unbuckle herself. This tool has helped her get the angle and pressure needed to release the buckle. I wouldn’t use this for kids who would unbuckle themselves in the middle of a drive, but it’s great for more responsible kids. It’s also been great when my grandma visits- she has arthritis and can’t push the buckle hard enough without it.

Pros
  • These come off super east but are helpful. Everytime they use them they have to put them back on.
Cons
  • It may become easily lost or misplaced

Great tool for parents with longer nails.

You may wondering why I have a mail picture on a kids car seat accessory, but as you can see I love to wear my nails on a medium to long size and I thought it was impossible after having a baby until I found this tool it is just perfect and makes it so easy with no pressure at all in my nails. I believe it would be perfect for grandparents or someone with any kind of weakness issues on their hands. The good thing you don’t need to carry an extra thing on your keys.But I don’t recommend for…

Pros
  • Open too easily so when you go to use it it falls off
Cons
  • The product may become brittle over time

Wanted to love it! good for me

When I purchase this it was absolutely amazing! We previously had the red teddy bear that helped my son unlock his car seat but we got an additional car seat so I needed a second. This one has a little hinge lock on the side. Which I thought I would love at first making it so that the teddy bear doesn’t come off of the buckle. However the hinge ended up breaking and we cannot fix it now therefore this teddy bear has been rendered unusable. I am very sad that we spent the money on this and now…

Pros
  • Suitable for use with a wide variety of car seat models
Cons
  • The tool may slip out of a child's hands

Easy for use but looks silly.

This works great my little one can unbuckle now. it just looks really silly sticking out between her legs as we ride down the road.

Pros
  • Ideal for road trips, making pit stops less stressful for parents and children alike
Cons
  • The EZTOTZ Bear Buddy may not be able to withstand repeated use

Awesome product! Highly recommended

Easy to use! One hand operation and toddler is able to help too! For this reason though I would place it in the pocket of the seat in front of him while the car is in motion.Bonus: Allows me the freedom of long nails without the fear of not being able to get him out or popping one.

Pros
  • A thoughtful gift for new parents or parents-to-be
Cons
  • The product may not be worth the cost for families who only use it occasionally

Still hard to squeeze open

Can only give 4 stars because my 5 year old granddaughter can not squeeze hard enough to open the lock with this. And that's the whole reason I bought it. I'm sure she will eventually be able to.It is a genius design though!

Pros
  • If you have Arthrites or nails this handy thing make it easier to get baby out of carseat
Cons
  • The product may not fit all car seat buckles

Easy to use on my review.

My 6 year old was not strong enough to unbuckle herself but she wanted to be independent and "do it herself”Don’t worry she doesn’t unbuckle until we tell her to. The bear doesn’t even stay attached (it can I just choose not to).

Pros
  • Helps establish independent behavior in toddlers by allowing them to unbuckle themselves
Cons
  • It may be too difficult to maneuver in tight spaces

Makes getting out of the car so much easier.

My 5 year old can't put enough pressure on his carseat button to release himself. He's old enough and mature enough not to unbuckle unless we are completely stopped. He sits on the passenger side while my daughter who is rear facing sits behind me, so I was having to crawl to the backseat to unbuckle him on rainy days or walk around to get him while holding my daughter. Now he can unbuckle himself easily.I gave a 4 star review because it does seem like thick plastic, but worry it could break…

Pros
  • Accessories
Cons
  • The product may be too easy to break

Long nail friendly, yay!

Finally, I can enjoy my long nails without having an odd short thumb nail. Also, helps my mom who has arthritis. That's my feedback.

Pros
  • This is a game changer for my son to get out of the car on his own! He can now unbuckle without help!
Cons
  • Sticks out too far, so its uncomfortable for the kid and its hard to use...

Toddler tested and she approves

I first ordered another brand called BuckleBee.It works good too but after I installed this one, my daughter said, "Mommy! This one works faster than my bucklebee!”To be fair both brands are installed on the same type of car seat but different manufacture years. I don’t know if the buckle it’s self is softer. But my daughter really likes this device better

Pros
  • Helps keep car seats cleaner by reducing the need for hands to be put directly on them
Cons
  • It may not be useful for all parents

Doesn’t stay on. for my opinion

It is functional, but that latch on it isn’t the greatest. It doesn’t stay on. We have had it for just one day and it seems to come off more then it stays on. We had the original "yellow one” for my older child, and it was great. It would only come off occasionally. I thought the latch would keep this one more secure, but quite the opposite. The idea is great in theory but poorly executed.My 5 year old loves the bear and the color, so we are keeping it and added a dab of glue for a permanent…

Pros
  • Ideal for pregnant women who have difficulty reaching over car seats to unbuckle
Cons
  • It may not be as effective for children who are taller or larger

Works, but it's a hassle

The idea works, it is easier to unbuckle, same makes drop off a bit easier. However, it kept coming unattached from the carseat, then my kids would want me to reattach out so that they could still unbuckle themselves. NOT a timesaver that I was hoping for it to be. Plus, getting into the carseat was a little dangerous, as they had to be careful when sitting, as to not be goosed by the little bears. I am working for one that are already detached, that I can also hand to them when I am ready for…

Pros
  • Helps establish good communication between parents and children regarding car seat safety
Cons
  • The product may require too much parental supervision to use safely

Comes off too easily

I got three of these and all of them came off the kids’ car seats within the first few days of use. I got them so the kids could more easily unbuckle themselves for school dropoff (kindergarten and preschool) and they won’t stay on anymore.

Pros
  • What I disliked was how it would come unhooked and off of the buckle.
Cons
  • I have this to my 4-5 year old and was unable to use to be able to get out for the school car line.

Easy to take off best in my review

It works exactly as it should. I just wish the latch to keep it on the seatbelt was harder to unhook. My kiddo takes it off and drops it and the, well, it’s useless.

Pros
  • Ideal for long car rides where frequent bathroom breaks require frequent unbuckling of car seats
Cons
  • The EZTOTZ Bear Buddy may not be suitable for all types of vehicles

Slightly Jankey on my review.

Loved the concept! Mama with short hands and long nails! And it kind of did it’s job. the little clip that clipped it together over the seatbelt kept unclipping. so I would find the device under my sons butt instead of where it was supposed to be.

Pros
  • ‎No
Cons
  • It may not be worth the environmental impact

Love the concept good for me

I love the concept & works really well. Unfortunately, it continually detaches from the strap so I keep having to get back there to fix it and let my child out of her car seat which defeats the purpose.

Pros
  • Encourages children to take ownership of their car seat usage
Cons
  • The EZTOTZ Bear Buddy may not be useful for all car seat brands

Fast and easy good for me

My finance said she needed something easy for her to use to get the baby out of his car seat. After having long days or getting her nails done. She would always say how difficult it was for her. Now all she needs to do is push this device back and the latches unhook from the car seat. I would say a life saver for her.

Pros
  • Lightweight design makes it easy to carry around
Cons
  • The tool may not work effectively with thicker seat belts

Great help, but have to ducktape the snap yo stay on

This is so helpful. Allows my son to unbuckle himself so I don't have to climb in the back to help him. Only negative is the snap to secure it on the buckle isn't strong, but adding a piece of ducktape takes care of that and there aren't any problems. Have been using this for months and love it!

Pros
  • High-quality materials ensure durability and long-lasting use
Cons
  • It may not be safe or effective for all age groups

Worth buying in my review

I have long now that has made it so much easier and buckle the car seat and I think it’s very important also in case of emergency to be able to unlock with the car seat in a hurry so I’m very happy with this purchase

Pros
  • Easy to use, even for those who may not be tech-savvy
Cons
  • The product may wear out quickly with frequent use
