Car seatbelt hack you need to know
Do you find yourself dreading to wear your seatbelt because it doesn't feel comfortable? This hack might just be what you need to make things more comfortable for yourself...
Calling all drivers and passengers! Here is an amazing TikTok video that shows a cool seatbelt hack.
Wearing a seatbelt is mandatory if you are using a car to drive you to your destination.
Seatbelts are designed to save your life in case of an accident.
They have been proven to also have injury-reducing benefits.
Not wearing a seatbelt can leave you at risk of getting thrown from your vehicle if in an accident. It also minimises the body's contact with the interior of the car.

However, even with all these benefits, some people do not feel comfortable wearing a seatbelt because it rubs on their neck. Others complain that it feels too tight or is too close to their neck.
Thanks to this TikTok video hack, you won't ever have to worry about that again.
Cars come with a height-adjustable loop anchor button which is located above the seatbelt on the pillar. You might have seen this, but, like most people, not known what it is for.
The loop anchor is designed to help you get to the most comfortable position when using the seatbelt.
All you need to do is pull the button and slide the height adjuster up or down to adjust it to suit your height. However, the belt should never be adjusted in such a way that it falls off the shoulder.
Check out how to do the trick in the video below and you will thank us later!
