But what is the seat belt button for?

A mini button for a well-studied effect

The stop button (or latch) is the small plastic part, often located just below the metal buckle of the belt when it is folded. Its role? To prevent the buckle from sliding too far down the strap.

Without it, the buckle would slide completely into the seat when you unbuckle the seat belt…    and it would be much less comfortable to pull it up   . But it’s not just a matter of comfort: it’s also a matter of safety.

A button that saves time… and strengthens your security

Imagine this: you arrive late to the car, looking for your seat belt… and you can’t find the buckle; it’s completely stuck. Isn’t that annoying? The stop button keeps the buckle within easy reach. Bottom line: you save precious seconds, especially when every minute counts.
