We had stopped to get snowballs for Sherri, Eli, and Ariana. The line was long, but we were in e comfort of our car waiting to advance in the drive thru. Eli was being himself which can be larger than my trailblazer sometimes can hold...today was one
such day. He was talking, telling stories, drumming, singing ( all at the same time and poking and yelling at Ariana. At some point, Eli decided that Ariana was no longer worthy of a seat belt nor the safety of such a thing, so he stretched the belt from one side of the car to the headrest of the other side - which caused the belt to LOCK in that position. When I got home, I could not remove the headrest, I could not move the seat up or back or up and down. It was stuck! Now I am in NO WAY a mechanically inclined person when it comes to automobiles and the secret workings of interior or exterior spaces ( I do know how to change a tire, fill up with gas, and if need be, flag someone down for help). I did the only thing that someone with my limited knowledge could do, I started taking the seat belt apart...I only took off the cover before realizing that I did not have a tool or the strength to remove the bolt holding the belt in place. Plan B: remove the head rest...no can do! It only goes so far and then it stops. Plan C: google the problem. I typed in " my son stretched the seat belt across the car to the other side and it is now stuck on the headrest". To my shock and great relief this same thing had happened to a lady with an Escalade and her nephew! I followed the simple instructions...BTW, the headrest stops and then there is a pin that you must push in order to release the headrest. The belt went zipping back into its normal position, I pounded the interior covers back onto the walls of my car that I had tried to pry off, and Eli has lived another day and another adventure is history. Thank God for google! I'm not sure how my parents survived without it!!!!
