I'd get one because sometimes the damn car insists i buckle the seatbelt if a grain of sand falls on the passenger seat.

A Big dog on the passenger side set off seat sensor. “Jason waterfalls”

have one of these seatbelt things for driving on private property. Need to get out of the car every 100m or so , and 5kph limit. It’s great.

Remember when Volvo invented the modern seatbelt and made it public domain so everyone can use it? Pepperage farm remembers.

I carry a lot of stuff in my passenger seat this would come in handy)
Photus
Take your seatbelt, run it around behind the seat, then plug it in.
DdCno1
So you're just putting a lot of stuff on that seat right next to you without using the seat belt to secure it? That's not safe either.

Google the Darwin Awards
HelloThere1812
I know, I just think those are stupid. Risk takers tend to also risk unprotected sex meaning they actually pass on their genes more.
HelloThere1812
They should really be called "Moron Awards" or something.
batmanbumantics
But the Darwin Awards are about not being able to pass on your genes because of either death or injury

I wear my seatbelt. My passengers wear theirs. A 600 gram bottle of soda on the passenger seat does not. FUCK that fucking alarm.
technicalfool
And in the event a 600g bottle of soda is accelerated at say, 50 gees over 0.2 seconds, how much force does it now impart?
lljkstonefish
A fair bit. Which is the same that could be said for any unrestrained cargo anywhere in the car. If your car doesn't have something laying..
lljkstonefish
..on the floor since at least 2017, you've either got a new car or you're lying.
Rawrgunnaeatyou
To be honest, my last car's passenger seat had a faulty sensor. ANYTHING on that seat and it acted as a passenger. But yea, just wear a belt
AllIWantIsADogAndFunnyStuff
Actual use: to attach the buckle to my dog's leash when we are in the car. He's restrained, it's easy, and I do it every time. No crate.
Notuniquesnowflake
I bought a dog cover from my backseat and it came with one of those attached to short lead which I clip to my dog's harness. Very useful.

I hope that it's attached to a harness and not a collar xD

Exactly. If you're not restrained in a vehicle & there's an accident you become a deadly projectile to those in & outside of your car FFS.

My mom once had a VW Golf that had a bottle opener built into the cup holder. Seemed like a super weird design choice
Vertron
It's for when you're carrying luggage of the seat and the weight triggers the sensor
DigiT00l
Why not use the seat belt?
Vertron
That works too

I actually just had a family member die because he wasn't wearing his seat belt and was ejected through the windshield in an accident

Who needs bells and whistles going off when you're trying to enjoy a road beer at 60 miles an hour.

Would use it on my passenger seat because my backpack already triggers it.
Squelchtone
Wait what? I have a 22 year old car, are you saying seats can tell these days if there is something in them? Like a pressure switch?
SociallyAwkwardCanadianMoose
Yeah, if you put something on the seat that is heavy it thinks it's a person and will complain if you don't buckle in.
TheFeralDog
Yes, in the passenger seats I cut the wire on my old car because i got sick of buckling my bag or listening to the damn alarm.
Notuniquesnowflake
You can just buckle the seatbelt. No need to buy another device to fix a problem that's easily solvable with what you already have.
Orcus424
Some people have too much money so they spend it on stupid problems.
CreativeMapleCookie
I really don't understand the logic of getting a seat belt silencer when every seat comes with one. Is it that secret??

Not this. This is also not what would happen. This is faked.
PTNLemay
So airbag sensors aren't susceptible to misfires like these? Thinking about it makes sense, mechanics need to pop them open somehow.
zanoii
Sensors aren’t in the steering wheel.
vizeroy42
Well... they still might missfire, but rather during connecting or disconnecting the wiring.

My car has this dumb thing that it turns off everything when I exit the vehicle. Passengers listening to radio: nope... Only way is 1/2
MikkelFox
to keep drivers seatbelt buckled. This would actually be useful to me. I always drive wearing my seatbelt properly.
ThisGuyHere
Friend of mine staunchly believed that being ejected from the vehicle was/is safer that being strapped in.
ThisGuyHere
I advised him w/ the experience I had working as an EMT, that it was rarely, if ever the case

for when you want to get a dui AND a ticket for no seatbelt. 2 birds 1 idiot.

Had a car that would do the seatbelt alarm with groceries in the passenger seat that escalated in annoyance over time as I drove.

People thought I was weird when I developed the habit of keeping the passenger seatbelt buckled all the time.

This is the problem this product solves.

Just put the seatbelt around it?
dajuan
Well if unrestrained, that bag will be a real hazard in an accident. I'd put it in the foot well if possible.
bigeasy44
Depending on your make/model, there may be a sequence to turn off the passenger alarm/reminder. For my 07 Lexus it involved like turning the
bigeasy44
Accessory power on & off (not starting), and clicking the passenger seatbelt release a few times.
HelloThere1812
I provided a link to seatbelt silencers that still allow you to use your seatbelts.
oddmog
My wide butt usually sets off the alarm if I'm in the backseat as I creep over the middle seat. Won't use this but the alarm catches ya
mijk
If you are a woman, I may need photographic evidence of such.
oddmog
Nope am a dude and mind my man arse so no pics for you.

RandAIFlagg
my laptop sets off the passanger seatbelt alarm. I just buckle it in. Shit's sensitive, I've had it go off for groceries.
LenneSamunai
same as with my bag xD i just toss it to the ground lol
truemetalman
My backpack's been heavy enough to set it off in the passenger seat before. This would have been helpful... Don't need the bottle opener tho
WeeemRCB
The replies you've been getting to your post... ?
oddmog
Definitely, I'm not opposed to a cheapy $3 keyring one but deliberate design in the car? Um, no.
Kittynomnoms
Happens to me with groceries all the time.
Malibloo
Why not seatbelt the clearly heavy bag so you don't artillery the car you drive into.
LurkerOfDarkness
How will he shell the car in front then?
Shellzie2010
That's what's in the backpack, it's why it's so heavy.
ASB305
If, it's heavy enough to set off the alarm you should strap it in anyway! If you get in a crash that backpack is going to mess you up!
Astramancer
Weird, I bring home water in 5 gallon jugs and it doesn't set off the alarms and thats 42 pounds. How heavy is your backpack?!
truemetalman
At its heaviest it was probably 30-40 lb, our sensors were probably set to go off at different weights.
Marvel116
43 pounds

so the part with text is the back, right, cause the front is pointed away?

well, yeah, you want to read it, not the enemy, so you position it so the words are towards you, not the enemy. /s
