Dangerous
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.

DANGEROUS!!!!!!!
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......

Garbage...
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...

Makes my life easier!!!
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!

wonderful product
A family member gave me my first mighty tite when I was pregnant with my first child and I instantly fell in love. I've tried to install various carseats in various cars and I'm rarely pleased with how secure the carseat actually is. Mighty tite takes a lot of the strain out of making a carseat secure. I actually just bought 2 more for Grandma's car!

A must for proper installation of Car Seat
As a paramedic I see car seat inproperly installed all the time. They must not move from side to side more than a 1/2 inch. The mighty tite works great. I have one for my daughters car seat. We have used in since she was born. Every one should have one. The car seat only works if it is properly installed and the baby in strapped in correctly. That means chest harness is at or above the nipple line and you can just get a finger in for tightness. NO COATS under the seat belt. It will let the baby slide out in a wreck. I carry a blanket in the car always. It only takes a second for your baby to be injured. Please take the time.

confused!
I have used the mighty tite on all 3 of my kids car seats. I think its a great product, I tell everyone to get one. Then my friend told me she had someone install her car seat and he told her how dangerous they are. I have been in a bad car accident where I had a mighty tite on my sons car seat, and he was fine, his car seat did not move. I also don't understand how they can damage your seat belt, maybe if you keep taking it off, putting it on and tightening it, but mine is put on and then stays on until I remove the car seat, and my seat belts show no sign of damage or fraying! If this product is dangerous, why would it not be recalled?!

BEST PRODUCT IN THE WORLD
I would recommend this to every parent that owns a car seat and does not have the vehicle with the clamps in the newer cars. This is the best invention ever made. This Mighty Tite gets my childrens car seats so tight they dont move. I am so glad someone came up with this product. Good for you. And THANK YOU.

Great Safety Device
THIS IS NOT A TOY! The Sunshine Kids Mighty Tite Car Seat Belt Tightner takes the slack out of the seat belt used to hold you childs car seat in the car. It's easy and works great.
