UnbuckleMe Car Seat Buckle Release Tool – Arthritis & Nails Friendly (Purple) | Shark Tank

Meet UnbuckleMe

UnbuckleMe is a compact, lever-style buckle release tool designed to simplify unbuckling for caregivers. The vibrant purple device works with infant, toddler, and convertible car seats that use a 5 point harness, plus many strollers and high chairs. It’s a practical aid born from hands-on experience and real-world family needs.

As seen on Shark Tank, this tool features a patented lever arm that reduces the force required to unbuckle by more than 50 percent. The design emphasizes a soft, grippy surface that stays stable in your hand, letting you push, press, or squeeze with confidence even in hectic moments. The result is a smoother, more controlled unbuckling action that many busy families appreciate.

Why caregivers reach for UnbuckleMe

Designed for everyday life, UnbuckleMe targets situations where grip strength or nail length can make buckling feel tricky. The lever-assisted mechanism is especially helpful for those with limited hand strength, including arthritis, carpal tunnel, or tendonitis, while still offering ease of use to all caregivers.

• Reduces the effort needed to unbuckle harness buckles by more than half, aiding reduced strain during routine tasks
• Soft, grippy surface provides control and comfort during push, press, or squeeze motions
• Specifically built to work with infant rear-facing, convertible, and booster seats using a 5 point harness

Versatility across devices

Beyond car seats, UnbuckleMe can help with many push-button devices commonly used around children, including certain strollers and high chairs. Its compact form makes it easy to keep in a diaper bag, glove compartment, or nursing station for quick access when you need it most.

• Works with a wide range of 5 point harness systems
• Invented by an Occupational Therapist with thumb arthritis and a CPST daughter, blending safety insight with practical use

A practical everyday aid

In real life, families report smoother drop-offs, less friction during busy mornings, and greater confidence when helping little ones stay buckled safely. The purple finish adds a friendly, approachable touch to a task that can feel frustrating when hands are tired or nails are long.

Quality, trust, and usage mindset

UnbuckleMe emphasizes leverage, stability, and a comfortable contact surface. While not a medical device, the design reflects a thoughtful approach to common caregiving challenges, rooted in occupational therapy principles and child passenger safety know-how. Consider it a practical tool that may support easier daily routines and caregiver confidence.
