Seat Keys Make Unbuckling Car Seats Easier
We've all had that moment when you reach into the back seat to loosen the car seat but can't quite get enough strength behind your thumb to press down on the red button. Thankfully, seat keys exist to assist.
Created by namra, this car seat accessory is easy to use to use: simply slide the steel tongue into the red harness release button from any angle, and then squeeze using two hands.
Comfort
Many parents have felt a sense of weakness as they attempted to unbuckle a car seats in the backseat, only discover that they couldn't muster enough force to push the red button. It can be a bit embarrassing and disconcerting particularly when your children are in the car and you're trying to get the job done before they get too bored.
The seat keys of namra solve this problem. The car seat key lets you spread the pressure across your entire hand, instead of a single finger. It can be easily put in your keychain and is out of reach of your child.
Simply slide the seat key onto the red harness release button from any comfortable angle and gently squeeze with two hands while moving the buckle downwards to release it. The KeyLab is available in various colors, making it easy to identify and retains its shape even when exposed to extreme cold or heat.
Convenience
The car seat keys help parents who are having difficulty unlocking their child's seats. We've all been in that moment when we have to climb into the rear seat to unbuckle a harness but can't push the red button enough. This is most likely to happen when we're in hurry and don't have enough strength or our hands are stuffed with food items.
The seat key that is patent-pending by NAMRA makes this process much more comfortable and easy, and comes in a variety of colors to fit the interior of your car. Slide the seat key from any angle over the red button to release the harness and squeeze using either one or both hands. This device eases the stress on your fingers and hands by distributing the force. It is particularly beneficial for those with long fingernails or hand issues.
The seat key also features an in-built feature that allows you to save the location of your power mirrors and the driver's seat so that when you lock the car using the remote key and then unlock the car at the same time, the mirrors and seats are automatically placed in the correct places. This is particularly useful when you travel often with a partner who may have different preferences for seating or who needs to use the vehicle for business.
Safety
The majority of parents have had moments when they're trying to free their child from their car seat, but they can't make the effort to push that big, red button far enough for it to be effective. This can be a hassle, whether you're having an off day or are suffering from a weak hand. But now, a company known as NAMRA has come up with a solution that could assist us in getting the car seats out of buckles easily.
The Seat Key is a small device that allows you to release the red button through distributing the pressure. The company claims it's made of durable materials that are both safe and non-toxic, and it can be conveniently stored on your keychain to make it practical, but it's also safe from the reach of your kids. Rachel Rothman, chief technologist at the Good Housekeeping Institute, tested one. She found it useful but not a magic solution. "Sliding it between the buckle and the baby still requires a lot of force, and securing it to my key ring created a bulky," she writes. "But for $15 it's a great addition to the baby gear arsenal of any new parent."
Don't leave the Seat Key transmitter in a hot vehicle. It can overheat and damage the seat or other electronic components. Also, don't use it near any metal objects or place it in close proximity to communication devices such as cellular phones or electronic equipment that emits radio waves, such as personal computers.
Maintenance
Every seat key has an electronic transponder that is linked with the engine of your vehicle. This extra security system prevents your car from starting unless you know the code. This is a safety feature that is standard in every car manufactured after 1995. It is an excellent benefit for those who worry about stolen or lost keys to their car.
This feature is particularly important for families with young children who can make toys of seat key remotes. They may be tempted to use them in the house or play with them outside of the vehicle. They could lead to unlocking the doors and control the car like power windows. This could be risky and result in someone getting hurt or even dying. To avoid this from happening, it's a good idea to keep an extra set of seat keys somewhere safe.
