Child resistant cover for safety harnesses

A shield for a buckle 6 of a safety harness, e.g. seat belt 8,10, comprises means 1 to cover a release button 11 of the buckle and resilient deformable leg means 2 which are adapted to grip detachably around sides of the buckle. Preferably the leg means have detents 3 which engage detachably around the rear of the buckle. The legs may also be provided with a ribbed, roughened or grooved surface [e.g. figure 6] and be formed integrally with the cover means 1. So that the cover is available for use at all times it can be provided with a cord or lanyard which is clipped or looped around the seat, the harness or its mountings. In use, the shield is clipped around the buckle [e.g. figures 9,10] such that it prevents a child from accidentally releasing the buckle. The buckle can easily be removed by an adult.
