“Too tight! Too tight! TOOOO TIIIIIGHT!” This is what Lydia screams every time I buckle her into her carseat. She hates it being tight around her shoulders. And sometimes I acquiesce. Sometimes I pull the release lever just so she’ll stop whining.
BUT WHAT IF?
What if we got in an accident and her seat belt wasn’t strapped correctly?
What if I pulled out too quickly? Or was talking on the phone? Or *gasp* texting?
WHAT IF SOMETHING HAPPENED?
I would never forgive myself for caving. For preferring silence to safety.

My youngest does this too. We just pretend to loosen it and she always buys it and stops whining. You should see if that will work for you. Lying is the cornerstone of good parenting.
