A better alternative to a car seat belt is a better seat belt, and manufacturers have been progressively improving it over the years, including new inflatable belts and, in some cases, multi-point harnesses.A seat belt’s purpose is to securely confine passengers to the vehicle so they are not flung out in accidents like rollovers; airbags and crumple zones take care of the rest in crash protection.

If they have backless boosters, the Bubble Bum might be a good option. It’s quite thin and could make buckling easier.
