Better Buckle Up is a fun, kid-friendly picture book to encourage preschoolers to fasten their belts without fuss.
Ollie doesn’t want to sit in his car-seat or wear his seat-belt until Mum shows him some of the supercool things people can do while using a seat-belt to keep them safe.
As parents, we spend a lot of time and money choosing the safest car seats and installing them properly to keep our children, our most precious cargo of all, protected in case of accident. But our little ones don’t always appreciate our efforts. Some kick and scream and hate being pinned down.
We used to call my grandson’s car seat the ‘chair of doom’ because he hated being strapped in so much. ‘Better Buckle Up’ was my answer to the problem.
Now he chants Better Buckle UP every time he sits in his seat.
With bright, colourful illustrations from PlainSightVFX and a repeating text that children love, Better Buckle Up is a fun book for pre-schoolers (whether they like to wear their seat-belt or not).
positive message, in a captivating story. P. Edwards.
As a professional child care provider I’m always looking for books that will help solve problems for my parents. This book does an excellent job reinforcing the importance of buckling up, not for fear of being hurt in an accident (a concept that is too abstract and potentially too scary for some) but in a manner that empowers the child to chose and cooperate.

Absolutely adorable! Murboyd.
Follow Ollie as he…
… drives a fire engine,
… races a beach buggy over the sands,
… flies a plane,
… and blasts off into space.
