In 2016, mother-daughter duo Barb Heilman and Becca Davison founded UnbuckleMe to simplify unbuckling children’s car seats.
Their 2020 appearance on Shark Tank led to a $100,000 offer for 20% equity from Lori Greiner and Mark Cuban, though the deal ultimately didn’t close.
Despite this, UnbuckleMe has thrived, surpassing $3 million in lifetime sales by 2022 and expanding its product line to include the Totebook, a car activity book for kids.
The company continues to operate independently with $800,000 in net worth. Their products are available in major retailers like Walmart, Target, and buybuyBABY.
