Hi, everyone!
I'd like to share something that lets me drive more conveniently:
Seat Belt Strain Relievers. I've been using (for my pickup truck) an old pair I bought from SM Dept. Store several years ago (STRAIN RELIEVE ang tatak), and tonight I finally found and bought a pair for my Avanza that works similarly:
Front View:
Rear View:
I wish every vehicle I ride in has a pair of these, too.
I find the other type, where you press on a toothed portion so that it "bites" on the seatbelt as it is pulled back into its fully retracted position, to wear out and become inefficient too quickly. Return On Investment not realized. :sad:
Any other tips on the topic, fellow tsikoteers?Last edited by woohoo; May 28th, 2009 at 09:57 PM.

Seatbelts are designed to restrain, so they press against your body when in use.
These Strain Relievers will add a few centimeters of slack (max. recommended is 3cm.) just enough to ease the strain but still small enough not to hinder the safety provided by the seatbelt in case of collisions.

Won't it cause abrasion on the belt when using and re-using it?
I feel the opposite. I like the tension of the belt over my upper body. Kapag di ko nararamdaman yung belt, parang mahuhulog ako tuwing pe-preno or liliko.

To each his own, so I respect your choice.
Re: abrasion -- NO, because this particular type is loose enough (when unlocked) to slide along the seat belt, and when using it, it just presses on the belt, matibay naman ang material ng seatbelts, hindi naman magagalusan nung RUBBER lock.
Here's the "bite type" I replaced:

Buhay na buhay ang BGC this evening. Bukas halos lahat ng restaurants. Sabi pa nung isang cashier...
Traffic!
