Buy 2 UnbuckleMe for $25 (no code needed)
As Seen on Shark Tank, UnbuckleMe is a small tool that makes it 50% EASIER to unbuckle a child’s car seat. It prevents thumb discomfort and broken nails for parents and grandparents who struggle to push the red button. It does not attach to the car seat, for safety. Works on all push-button car seat buckles in the USA.
1. Lift & Slide: Position over the side of the red buckle
2. Pinch the Ends: Center over the buckle and press the farthest ends together
3. Pull Down: Pull the harness clips out of the buckle to release
✨ Pro tip: Sometimes it helps to loosen the child's car seat straps first, to make it easier to position UnbuckleMe around the crotch buckle.
UnbuckleMe has a soft, grippy top surface designed for comfort and stability. It can be used with one hand and even squeezed with fingers and the palm of the hand (using no thumbs at all!)
UnbuckleMe uses a type II lever (the same concept as an old fashioned nutcracker) to reduce the force by more than 50%.
Attach to UnbuckleMe to a keychain, or store in a convenient place inside the car (side door pocket, center console or front visor)
Compatible with all car seats in the USA

Yes, UnbuckleMe has been tested across a range of car seats and push-button buckle shapes, including Graco, Chicco, Britax, Clek, UPPAbaby, Nuna, Recaro, Diono, Maxi-Cosi, Cosco, Evenflo, and many others. It was not designed to work on buttons that do not require a single-button push from the front (e.g., slide action buckles)
No, this is not recommended. Car seat manufacturers and Child Passenger Safety Technicians (CPSTs) prohibit any after-market items to be attached to the car seat, and doing so may cause safety risks or void your car seat warranty. UnbuckleMe was designed to be used under adult supervision, and should remain out of reach of children when not in use.
It is important that UnbuckleMe is readily accessible to use when you need it, but also remains out of reach of children when not in use. We recommend storing in the side-door or seat-back pocket of your car, although many customers prefer to attach to a keychain, or drop in a purse or diaper bag.
Possibly. UnbuckleMe has been tested on a range of push-button high chairs and strollers and works well. However, these buttons are far less standardized and vary by manufacturer, so we have not been able to test them all.
No, UnbuckleMe was not designed for adult car seat belt buckles, which are oriented vertically and are depressed using extended fingers, rather than the thumb. We do not suggest that UnbuckleMe will be effective in assisting people who struggle with adult vehicle car seat belt buckles.
The body of UnbuckleMe is made from a lightweight plastic material. The top handle is covered with a softer, “grippy” material to provide greater comfort and stability. All materials are BPA free and tested to withstand very high/low temperatures.
Yes. UnbuckleMe is the original, and we told our story on Shark Tank in May 2020. UnbuckleMe was the first product to file patents in 2016 and received utility and design patents issued in 2019. We are continually working to defend our intellectual property. There are other products on the market that appear similar but none use leverage to reduce the force to unbuckle, while also not attaching to the car seat, for safety. UnbuckleMe is also the only product with a non-slip grip for comfort and stability.
UnbuckleMe was invented and designed by a mother & daughter in Houston, Texas. It is manufactured responsibly in China, with raw materials sourced from both the USA and South Korea.

When Barb's first granddaughter was born in 2015, Barb quickly realized that she couldn't unbuckle her car seat because of arthritis in her thumb. Car seat buckles require 9 lbs of pressure, so kids can't unbuckle themselves (Yay!) But this meant she couldn't take her new granddaughter out in the car, which was disappointing, and not safe (Boo!) She was excited to take her new granddaughter out of the house, and had to find a way.
Barb is an Occupational Therapist and spent her career adapting equipment for patients with disabilities of the hand. She was the perfect person to solve her own problem! She invented UnbuckleMe, a small tool that uses leverage to make car seat buckles easier. Her daughter Becca saw her mom's invention, and thought it was genius. She suggested they market their invention, and together, they launched their business.
Barb & Becca have achieved national distribution with their patented UnbuckleMe invention. In addition to grandparents with arthritis, moms with long nails and families with kids in the 3rd row are raving about this game-changing tool. Barb & Becca appeared on ABC's Shark Tank in 2020, and received offers from all 5 sharks! They have been featured in BuzzFeed, Good Morning America, NBC, USA Today and consistently ranked as a top car seat accessory on Amazon.
UnbuckleMe is
Slide UnbuckleMe around the buckle and pinch the ends together. Apply slight pressure and pull down to release
Children 4 years+ usually have the dexterity to position UnbuckleMe® around the buckle and release their own harness buckle. This is a big help for parents who are tired of climbing to the 3rd row to unbuckle their oldest! (Think: the school drop-off line)
Attach to UnbuckleMe to a keychain, or store in a convenient place inside the car (side door pocket, center console or front visor). We don't recommending attaching to the car seat, as it should remain out of children's reach when the car is moving.

I love UnbuckleMe! I have severe arthritis in my hands and it helps me get my grandchildren out quickly. The older grandkids
are able to use it to unbuckle themselves. Fantastic device! Would absolutely recommend!!
Looking torward to being able to unbuckle my grandaughter without the thumb pain from arthritis.
I'm a first-time grandma, and I'm blessed to be keeping my grandson while his parents work. I have arthritis in my hands, and I've really struggled with the buckle on the carseat. I decided to try the unbuckle. BEST thing ever! I was skeptical when I ordered it, but it's a game changer. Very easy to use. No more struggling or pain when I unbuckle my grandson. Worth every penny! I highly recommend.
