My four year old son became trapped in the rear middle seat belt. It would not release and the more I tried to release it the tighter the belt became. Myself and several other adults tried having him change positions. I finally was abe to release the belt, however he was twisted in the belt and it locked and wouldn't give and became progressively tighter.
