Ratchet Seat Belts?

[jayjay99]

I originally thought there was something wrong with my rear seat belts but I'm not sure if there is as they both do it and well it seems a good idea. Let me know if anyone else has this and if it's normal? If you sit in the back and put the seat belt on normally it's a normal seat belt but while it's on if you extend it as far as it will go there's a click as it retracts it goes click...click....click like a ratchet tightening and holds you in solid, my passengers love it. Normal? or Faulty?

normal - its a safety thing and great for kids and baby seats

Ah brilliant, only wish they had them in the front!

Ahhh... I came across that "Feature"... funnily enough it was when I was belting up a baby seat. Not my baby though, i assure you!

I never realised that it is a feature! I just though that the rear belt ratchet was badly designed!!

I have to say I feel a bit better knowing I'm not the only one that didn't realize

mmm, is this just the post facelift cars or should mine do it too. I haven't noticed anything and I have been belting two kids seats in!
