Buy a toy bar that connects to the car seat, it'll keep him/her occupied

I think if he or she is escaping, then you need to look for a different model of car seat: a good child's car seat should have straps for each shoulder, and a buckle that you can easily release but that he/she can't.
You could also try ways to keep him/her distracted so they don't think of escaping: favourite songs on a CD in the car, or an activity thing which hangs on the back of the front seat.

Try a carseat that is hard for even you to figure out. Also try to keep them entertained. And make sure that the straps are secure and snug. Other than that I can't tell you. Mine use to do the same thing & I switched seats & played Barney CDs. It drove me crazy but it kept her in her seat. Good luck

have the type of seat that has inbuilt harnesses that cannot be undone by the child. also give them toys to play with or books to look at while in the car to distract them. maybe you could even start a sticker chart with a reward for staying in the seat all week. keep firm as your childs life is in danger.

Use a car seat with a 5 point harness or http://www.jojomamanbebe.co.uk/index.php do a seat belt clip for £5.00 which prevents children opening the main seatbeat
My child is disabled and keeps opening his belt so I have suffered too. If it keeps going on, you can buy a stronger belt for disabled children but I'm sure its not appropriate for you yet.

Try super glue!
Seriously though: You need to have firm and constient bounderies and real consequences for mis-behaviour and lots of praise for good behaviour.
Explain that you are going out in the car.
Tell the 18 mo that you need her/him to sit in the chair like a big gril/boy.
Praise the child through-out the journey.
Give lots of verbal praise and celebrate the child sitting in her/his seat for the full journey.
Once they get used to sitting in the chair and the praise they get, it will become rountine behaviour.

Ther are so many toys on the market now, that you can put in front of the child, you can provide stimulus by playing a cd and singing which also promotes language and listening skills, you can put on a learning video such as the Mozart series, you can provide hesalthy snacks that will keep the child occupied such as cookies and pretzels that they cant really drop and can hold fpretty well in their hands, as well as cheerios they always work. l

Give him/her a favourite toy or book to comfort. There is always a drink or something to nibble on. I have the same problem sometimes. In the evenings I put the night light on above him to distract my son and he likes it. Good luck.

strap him or her in the seat tightly. if they can get out the seat is not properly fastened. Making sure that your child is safe should be number one priority.
