A seatbelt buckle clip 1 comprises a body 10 and a tab 2 extending in a first direction X away from the body and being receivable in a seatbelt buckle socket to connect the clip to the socket. The body comprises first and second slots 11, 12 for receipt of a seatbelt. The first and second slots are spaced apart in a direction Y substantially perpendicular to the first direction. The first slot may be angled at 45 degrees to the first direction, with the second slot being angled at 315 degrees such that they mirror each other. In an alternative embodiment the slots may be replaced by seatbelt connection points (figure 3) where a sash portion of the seatbelt (103) is connected at a first point (111), and a lap portion of the seatbelt is connected at a spaced apart second point (112). The spaced apart slots or connection points are intended to result in parts of the belt being offset from each other, and thus minimising excessive loading by the seatbelt on an occupant during a collision.
