Editorial Review
As many years of research have revealed, the best way to keep your baby safe while riding in the car is to place them in a car seat that has been properly installed, with restraints that have been properly adjusted for a snug fit. The Mighty-Tite car seat belt tightener makes car seat installation easier by allowing you to tighten your vehicle's seat belts and reduce the amount of slack around the base of your baby's car seat. Installation is very easy. After positioning the tightener next to the car seat and fitting your vehicle's seat belt through the included spindle slot, simply ratchet the tightener's handle until the seat belt is snug around the base of the car seat. Removing the belt tightener is also very fast and easy. --Chris Burns

 Dangerous October 22, 2008
This item is dangerous. It weakens your seatbelt, and is not recommended by any credible safety group. Unlike car seats, this item was not tested by the government. Your child's car seat can be installed safely and tightly without this dangerous item.

You may think that this product is getting your seat in tightly and safely, but you are wrong. This product gets your seat in too tight and damages your seatbelt. With a damaged seat belt, there will be no portection for your child in a crash.
I am a Certified Car Seat Technician and this is considered an "aftermarket" or "non-regulated" product. This means that the car seat was not tested for safety with this product on it. There is no way to tell how the product will react in a crash.
If the product comes off the seatbelt during a crash, you will have a projectile floating about in your car likely hitting you and your child. When you are in a crash, you multiply your speed times the weight of the projectile to get its force. Consider 35 pounds of force hitting your child. Does that seem safe to you?
You must also consider your ease of use vs. your child's safety. Is 10 minutes to make sure the seat is in tightly worth the possibility of this malfunctioning?
The biggest mistake most people make when putting in a car seat is not putting weight into it when installing it. Put your foot, hand, knee, etc. into the seat when installing it. This takes out the extra air in the car's seat and gives you a tight fit.
I understand that car seat instructions can be confusing, but seek out a certified tech to help. Most Health Departments and Police Departments have Certified Techs who would be happy to educate you on the easiest and safest ways to install a car Seat.
Please do not buy this product and if you already own it, please stop using it---for the sake of your child and yourself......

Product is trash... Belts are still loose. Save yourself the money and go to your local fire station and let them install your car seat for you.
Your child will thank you for it, if a situation goes south...

I love the Mighty Tite. I know there is controversy on the matter of using this product, but I have used it for a year with NO problems. I got it as a baby shower gift AFTER I spent well over an hour in my small british rover with my huge pregnant belly trying to get my carseat base installed tight enough. With Might Tite I have a good secure carseat in a minute! SO EASY! It is a little bulky, but it really does make the seat stay in place. My friend acutally went and got one after seeing mine!
