| OMG Kristin, I bet you were scared to death!! I would have never dreamed of hair getting tangled in the tether like that Thank goodness you were able to get Teddy untangled and he didn't have any injuries.

| Your poor little boy. I'm so glad that Teddy wasn't hurt. Thanks for making us aware of this. As much as we try to protect our babies and no matter how careful we are, sometimes things happen anyway. By letting us know, we can now be more proactive.

| I'm so glad to hear that Teddy is ok! We have Pet Gear seat & @ 1st, had the tangle problem bc both Mimi & Momo would move around a lot. One time, the tether got wrapped around her leg & I had to pull over & untangle it. Now that they're familiar w/their seat, they don't move around as much & Mimi stays by the window to the far right, that's her spot. Also, as I'm driving, I'll constantly check & fix the tethers @ a red light or stop sign. I can see how it can be a hazardous problem & new users should be aware of the tangling problem.

The hair gets wrapped up in the swivel part of the tether hook and any movement makes it progressively worse. Normally the bottom tether hook is covered by the car seat cushion, but I had the cushion out for cleaning. We have had problems in the past with the tether hook that attaches to the harness. When the boys move too much, hair gets caught. We have this problem with our 30' leashes too. Not sure what the solution is. I need to cover the swivel area. Quote:

The emergency tool kit in the car keeps growing and growing. I should have had scissors in there. They really are handy.

| I've had a car seat tether get caught around a leg on a 5 minute drive. I shortened all the tethers which means everyone has to sit pretty still on rides. It's that or they are all getting crated. I've had near accidents in those seats too because of jumping around. So it does not surprise me in the least that the hair got tangled. I'm just so relieved that he only lost a little hair when so many other things could have happened. I'm so glad you're ok too Kristin!
