Seatbelt Catcher

Device Description

The Seatbelt Catcher is an assistive device that provides an extended handle for reaching, grasping, and pulling a vehicle seat belt, helping users buckle with less twisting and shoulder strain; seniors, people with limited shoulder or arm mobility (for example those with frozen shoulder, arthritis, recent surgery, or reduced range of motion), and caregivers assisting passengers may benefit from this tool, and it is commonly used to snap onto a seat belt to create an easy-to-reach handle for drivers and passengers, to reduce bending or twisting when fastening a belt, and to make transfers into and out of a vehicle safer and more independent.
Key features
• Extended handle that reduces reaching and twisting when buckling.
• Snap-on attachment or wrap-around design that fits most vehicle seat belts and stays in place during use.
• Non-slip grip for secure handling and easier pulling.
• Lightweight and portable so it can be moved between vehicles or stored in a console.
Measurements and weight
• Typical length: about nine inches. Typical width: about three to four inches. Typical thickness: about one half inch.
• Typical weight: around two ounces (varies by model).
