A vehicle safety belt system includes a pair of belt sections, one carrying a buckle and the other carrying a belt retracting reel device provided with a tongue releasably engageable by the buckle. The reel device includes a spring biased belt retracting reel having a ratchet wheel rotatable with the reel and a pawl movable into locking engagement with the ratchet wheel to prevent withdrawal of the belt from the reel. The pawl carries an actuating member which is acted on by the buckle or an element carried by the buckle to advance the pawl to a reel locking position when the buckle and tongue are coupled.
