If your seatbelt won’t retract, there are a few things you can do to troubleshoot the issue. First, make sure that your belt is properly installed and buckled.

You can either buy a new one or have a technician repair or replace it for you.

Conclusion
Seatbelts are one of the most important safety features on a car, and they’re especially important for children. However, sometimes seatbelts don’t retract properly. If this happens, you may be at risk of serious injury. In order to fix a seatbelt that won’t retract, follow these steps: 1. Check the seatbelt tension switch to make sure it is turned off. 2. Remove any obstructions from the path of the belt’s movement (such as toys or blankets). 3. Inspect the belt itself for signs of damage or wear. 4. Reinstall the tension switch and check that it is working properly; then test the belt again by fastening your lap/shoulder belts in a seated position with your child securely seated in their car seat/stroller and pressing down on each shoulder strap simultaneously while pulling towards you until you feel resistance – if it doesn’t retract after 30 seconds or so, replace it
