A seatbelt assembly (110) with a buckle has male and female mating parts (26 , 28), in which the male part includes features to prevent disengagement operation by a child. The child resistant features include added ribs, webbi ng (60) in the form of flanges or struts (70), or barbs or prongs that increase the difficulty for disengaging the buckle. The female part (62) can have an arcuate outer surface (44, 45) to increase the overall durability of the buckle and resist damaging external forces or damaging misuse. The female pa rt (62) can also be provided with lateral shoulders to make the female part harder to withdraw and thus more child resistant. The seatbelt assembly (110 ) with the child resistant buckle can be operated easily by an adult, while remaining secure from disengagement by a typical child. |
