I don't usually write reviews but felt I needed to respond to the unnecessarily negative review on here... Like anything else with car seats, it's all in how it's installed. All of the premium brand/high end car seats come with buckle protectors, meant to help the bottom buckle stay easily accessible and not get lost under the child when they sit down in the seat, and also to help protect your child's inner thighs from getting pinched by the buckle during fastening. The way this product is made, it comes with a stiff plastic piece inside the fabric to help you install it properly, as well as detailed instructions on installation. The pad is threaded through the buckle slit in the seat cover (on the side of the buckle closest to where your child will be sitting) and is pulled all the way through so that any extra fabric is underneath the seat (you'll likely need to turn the car seat upside down, or open it if you have a Britax Click Tight, to get to the underside of the buckle to properly pull it all the way down). Properly installed, there is no extra fabric on the buckle and there is extremely minimal padding. There is nothing that would cause the car seat straps to have extra slack. In fact, the Britax pad I replaced with this one (one too many stains lol), has significantly more padding (you can also refer to your installation manual for your car seat for more on buckle pad insertion). I'm very grateful that Amazon has products like these available (and on Prime!) because manufacturer replacement parts are very hard to find... You can call the company of course, during normal business hours, wait on hold a ridiculously long time, and then find out they are out of stock and be directed to Ebay... That company shall remain nameless lol. Good luck! Stay safe! Do your own research and use common sense. :)
Works exactly as I had hoped.
