If that doesn't work:
You can try the Houdini trick of the button up shirt.
Or
You can try a different type of harnessed booster with things on the straps to prevent it. Let me see if I can grab a pic.

It's hard to tell because they're dark, but are the straps coming from at or above his shoulders? It doesn't look like it, but I wasnt sure. If not, bump them up and untwist them. Once you do, make sure when you tighten them, they pass the pinch test. That might curb it

@angm.2213 I would. I know they say at the shoulders or.. but I personally have not felt comfortable with at the shoulders.

My son started doing this by 2. It was so annoying. We had to put a button up shirt on him backwards then we started using the same things that are on seat belts to stop it from happening and it worked. It's like a tiny plastic button that goes through the belt to stop the clip from slipping down. But now he does not do it anymore thank goodness. We tried the talk with him about how bad he could get hurt in an accident and if we were ever stop by a police man he would not be happy to see him out of his seat belt, it did not work

Do you have a pic of him in the seat. Many times it's an improper fit that allows them to do so.

I never let my son buckle his car seat till he was like 5 1/2 for this reason.
I wanted him to know that only I could put him in and take him out. Maybe do what pp said. he’s old enough to understand that it’s not okay to
Unbuckle himself until the vehicle is stopped and your keys are out of that ignition. Hope it works!

My son is suuuuper emotional just like I am so one day I pulled over and cried to him telling him how sad I would be if he kept unbuckling himself and we got in a car crash and he was so freaked out by it that he wouldn’t unstrap himself until I told him he could. I don’t think that works for everyone. That’s just what I had to do.
