ABSTRACT:
An air bag deactivation buckle (10) on a seat belt (12) for holding an infant (14) in an infant seat (16) securely in a seat (18) of a motor vehicle (20) comprising a frame (22) attached to a first end of the seat belt (12), the frame (22) having a slot (24) therein. A push button lock mechanism (26) is in the frame (22). A structure (28) is for covering the slot (24) in the frame (22) in a releasable manner. A component (30) in the frame (22) is for deactivating an air bag (32) in the motor vehicle (20). A tongue (34) is attached to a second end of the seat belt (18). When the tongue (34) is inserted into the slot (24) in the frame (22) after the covering structure (28) exposes the slot (24), the tongue (34) will engage with the push button lock mechanism (26) and the air bag deactivating component (30), to prevent inflation of the air bag (32) in case of a collision and eliminate endangerment to the infant (14) in the infant seat (16).
