Kids with autism often have trouble staying buckled in.  Here are some resources that may help:

http://www.okautism.org/ofca/faqs/safety-solutions/ - Tips from Oklahoma Family Center for Autism.

http://www.nona-cdc.com/parent%20newsletter%20june03.pdf - see page 9 for lots of tips for keeping kids in their seats.  Increasing comfort and decreasing boredom and providing rewards are the obvious tips, but they also list 2-3 products plus a home-made solution involving a small plastic drink bottle.NONA-CDC is an organization for special needs kids in British Columbia, Canada.
