Q: Car seat buckle - too hard

Has anyone found a car seat buckle that's manageable? My friend's child is still a toddler; the strength and mobility in her hands makes his five point seat restraint impossible for her.

I'm sure your friend is not the only one with this problem.  A while back, I wrote a post about parenting with RA that has the link to adaptive equipment for parents - you may find some information there that can be helpful. Your friend may also ask their doctor for a referral to an occupational therapist who should be able to help them find adaptive equipment that can make parenting easier.
