That is what I have done for years. The sheepskin cover still binds and the little black clip comes apart alot of times. The twist of the seat belt works the best for me. You don't have to find your clip or pad, You can be comfortable in any car.

You need something that makes the shoulder strap come across your shoulder instead of your neck. I made a triangle that folded into a V-shape and velcroed together on the back. I put this on the belt near the clip you insert into the buckle. It worked for me, but my dear husband couldn't figure out how to get the seat belt on, so I took it off! PM me and I'll try to find it if you don't get a better idea. I hate the seat-belt-choke-hold, too!

What a coincidence!!! I found this in my favorite thrift shop today for $1.00. And wonder of wonders...it works :thumbup:

I'm so glad I opened this thread, I have a terrible time with this! My skin is uber-sensitive so all the time I have a giant red blotch on my neck - SEXY. Sitting on a pillow only means I can't reach the pedals anymore.

Great info everyone, thank you!

I read that the seat belt will not protect you if you only wear the lap belt. Please stay safe!!!

Go to your dealer and get a seat belt extender. They should be free, or under $10. Call first. They make the seat belt ride off your neck and onto your shoulder where it should be. I hate riding in other people's car since I have the extenders in all of our vehicles.

I have ones that go on car seats on mine. Works like a charm.

I just put the shoulder belt behind my left shoulder and that seems to work for me.

Thanks, I will try to make two. If it doesn't work, then at least my DGD will have one. It bothers her too :( Then if that doesn't work, I'll go buy one.

So many thanks to all of you!! :)

I use a medium size binder clip, clipped on the belt at the top where it goes into the winding mechanism, to make an inch or so of slack in the belt. That keeps the belt from chafing my neck or pulling on my chest while still leaving it secure for use in case of an accident. In my own car I leave it clipped on the belt, but I also carry one in my purse for when I ride with someone else. The clips, designed to hold more pages than a paper clip can handle, are small but strong, very inexpensive, and available wherever office supplies are sold.

They make them ready made at the car parts houses and maybe even walmart.

I use this and could not do without it.

At 4 ft 10 I can sugest that you go to an automotive store and there are clips available that work like a darn. They clip on to the seat belt and stay where you clip it. Getthem at Canadian Tire in Canada 2 to a pack jane

Check out reply from Glassquilt==I've had one of those for years and it works perfect, for anyone, any size. Advise you try one.

Check out this site. I have used these for years. They slip over the seat belt and hold the belt at a certain position and it doesn't choke you anymore.

I use a bulldog clip... the ones found in office supply stores to hold stacks of documents together. I think mine is 2 or 3 inches long and is strong enough to hold the shoulder strap to the lapstrap.

Great! That's what I was looking for. Thanks!

You're welcome. Matter of fact, I'm down to my last 2. I'll need to reorder soon.

I use a binder clip on mine, just cannot stand it on my neck, my friend has a cloth one that velcros on and push it down.

Good luck with finding something to work for you.

Works for me too. Putting a wrap on the seatbelt may minimize the rubbing, but it still chokes.

I told my DH that the seat belt may hold me in the car, but where the belt hits my neck, I'd bleed to death from the cut in my neck it would cause.

It depends on your make of car. I went to the Chrysler dealer and they want $40. for one. I told him to forget it!

On the right hand side where you push in the seat belt, try putting it down, not straight up. It really helps me keep it off my neck.

I can't stand the seat belt rubbing at my neck and I'm 5'6". I also had the clip that "Glassquilt" mentioned, but got mine at Walmart years ago and they broke. Now they carry a different one made by..Custom Accessories, same type of clip just made a little different. About $3 for a 2 pack.They are in the automobile dept. I have them now, but they keep un-snapping so I'm going to either hot glue where they snap together or somehow tie them together.But, they do keep the belt off your neck.
