have it priced for parts and labor at your local dealership and compare it with other options.

Thx, that price is a little easier to stomach.
In hindsight had I not had the stress of the situation, I probably could have thought about how the belt was twisted on him and maybe spun him upside down in the seat in a 360 to remove the twistover in the belt. Whether this really would have been doable don't know. Glad this didn't happen on a deserted road (and that I have cutting tools in the car).
Anybody have any pointers on replacing the seat belt assembly? Assuming it's more or less just a belt between two attachment ends (one having the spring assembly) and so as long as I can get to the attachment points (which often is the harder work) I just unbolt and rebolt....

We were in the grocery store parking lot, my husband ran in to grab a few things bc he knew if I went in, i would come out with more than intended lol. Idk how my son managed to get twisted, i couldn't figure out how to untwist him, the harder we tried, the tighter it got, my son was panicking and short of breath, thankfully my husband had his fishing gear with and was able to cut the seatbelt. However, this is a newly bought car and we were both furious! Im hoping there is a way to sew it back together as opposed to replacing the whole seatbelt.
