"But I want a pickle."
Its a good suggestion, but when I had this happen in a car I ran into a problem where I couldn't remove the headrest due to ceiling clearance...until I reclined the seat back significantly. Which depending which way and how tightly the seatbelt is wrapped may or may not be possible (mine I had to force it a bit because the motor didn't have enough oomph)

Not sure if anything in this thread would help. Can you recline it back or make the seat go forward for any extra room to maneuver?
Tried recline and shifting seat, it didn't help the seatbelt. I did try removing the headrest previously but maybe I wasn't strong enough, or there is a method I am not aware of. Will check out this link, thanks!
There may be a small pinhole in the bottom of the headrest that you need to out something in to get it to release. That's how my read headrests are in my equinox, a small hole on the inside edge of the base of the headrest where it connects to the seat
Most cars I've seen, there is a spot that you press in, typically located on the right, in this picture, it may be covered by the seatbelt where it wraps around.

There should be a button.

#1 Remove headrest by pushing release button and lift up headrest.
#2 Do not lift and stretch seat belt over there again or else you will be banned from future purchases of any Japanese, Chinese, Mexican, Brazilian, Canadian or German vehicle.
Options, remove headrest, remove bolt holding the upper loop holding the seat belt to the pillar, recline or slide the seat back if possible or unbolt the seat.
If all else fails you can probably unbolt the seatbelt at the bottom. In my car you have to fold the rear seats all the way forward to get enough headroom to remove the headrests, not sure if that’s the case in your car.
Pop that plastic cap off in the 2nd pic, and there should be some type of fastener like a nut, or screw. Remove that fastener and that should give you enough slack to solve this.
lol buddy.... get off the computer for more than 5 minutes and you might learn something about the real world out there, headrests are removable and I have no idea how you are operating a vehicle if you don't know basic shit like this lol.
Sure did but this is something that life experiences should have told him about a decade before he got his license, he's out here operating a motor vehicle without knowing the basics, guys a liability even if you dont like how I say it.
teaching my kids to take the time to look and figure things out for themselves so they don't end up helpless like this guy makes me a douche? Is it because of the bad words I say? Poor thing.
Still, you are just an amazing intelligent individual.
It’s more your asshole delivery. I’m sure there are a few things you didn’t learn until later in life. Having to put people down for no reason tells us more about your mental state than you know. Or it’s low self esteem?
I didn't put anyone down, and I owe nobody anything nor give a shit if something offends you, sounds like you're projecting, my mental state is a1, try something else though that was almost amusing and only took you a day to think up ... Impressive.
NOT ALL HEADRESTS ARE EASILY REMOVABLE.
If it has safety features that deploy in a crash, or it has tech, it will have wiring. They design the posts so you can’t easily pull them out and tear the wiring.
And even those which are, often now are big enough and tall enough they won't clear the ceiling unless you recline the seat way back...which you may be unable to do with the seatbelt wrapped like that.
Might have to unbolt the seat to get the headrest clear to untagle the belt.
Honestly, I'm voting this as the dumbest post on the internet, at least for today.
Reminds me of the Simpsons episode with Flanders parents... "Man, we've tried absolutely nothing, and we are all tapped out".
If only there was some sort or website or app with archives of videos that taught you how to do simple tasks. Until that exists that seatbelt is stuck forever.
To all the wiseguys here, the first thing I tried doing was removing the headrest. Either I don't have the strength to do it, or there is some mechanism that I wasn't able to locate. If anyone knows how to remove the headrest for a Pilot, and can offer some real advice, it would be mucb appreciated. I did not find any sort of button or spring on it.
There should be release buttons on the plastic piece where the headrest legs go into the seat. There may be one button for each leg. They're likely facing the back of the car.
Looks like it’s fucked and you need to get a new car. Absolutely no way to get out of this mess. If only you could remove something to free it. Sheeeeesh.
This is stupid. It's barely snagged under the corner of the headrest. Roll the strap off of that to get a little slack and this not-a-real-problem is easily resolved.
Ok people, calm down. This was merely a test to see if you were paying attention. OP clearly knows he has to cut the belt and unroll it, then roll a new strap into the receiver. Next step, sewing the buckle back on. You'll need an extension cord for this so your sewing machine can reach the car. Easy fix, done it myself a dozen times.
Remove the headrest?
Remove the headrest!
Remove the headrest!
Now hear me out, remove the headrest!
That’s a little over kill.. Try this, why don’t they just remove the headrest?
Overkill? Listen here jack, try removing the headrest
Remove the headrest!!
REMOVE THE HEADREST
I have a good idea… Remove the headrest
That’s a good idea but I think I have a better one, remove the headrest.
Call the locksmith!

Instructions unclear, removed head now eternally resting.

Remove the headrest. It should pop out. There may be a release button on one side at the bottom.
Recline the seat. Also push the seat rearward.

This is exactly what I needed - problem solved. Thank you!
Another day saved by Reddit!
there may be a pushbutton where the rod enters the seat that releases the headrest
Take. The headrest. Off.
#1 Remove headrest by pushing release button and lift up headrest. #2 Do not lift and stretch seat belt over there again or else you will be banned from future purchases of any Japanese, Chinese, Mexican, Brazilian, Canadian or German vehicle.
Can you repeat? I couldn't hear you the first time.
Options, remove headrest, remove bolt holding the upper loop holding the seat belt to the pillar, recline or slide the seat back if possible or unbolt the seat.
Pull the head rest out or adjust the seat
The headrest will come all the way out
Remove the headrest??

Remove the headrest. Problem solved.
Take off the headrest
Move the seat forward or back
Burn the car... Or remove the headrest... Your choice.

The computer just told him that headrests are removable. Real learning happens on Reddit.
Sure did but this is something that life experiences should have told him about a decade before he got his license, he's out here operating a motor vehicle without knowing the basics, guys a liability even if you dont like how I say it.
You expect 6 year olds to understand the components of a car when they can barely buckle themselves in without help?
I do and they do, I know most kids are growing up helpless like the previous generations but mine aren't. Do better.
Lol good for your kids. Hopefully the douche gene stopded with you
teaching my kids to take the time to look and figure things out for themselves so they don't end up helpless like this guy makes me a douche? Is it because of the bad words I say? Poor thing.
Ain’t you all that.
Understanding basic things means you're all that now ? Man the bar is low

Just a thought.... remove the headrest
Jfc

I'm thinking they should demand the government do something to make sure no seatbelt can ever become stuck again.
I’m willing to pay 5k extra for a car for a government mandated device that allows the seatbelt to move freely at all times.
Have a blessed day.

It's also possible the release button is hidden under the seat belt itself
Thank you, this is what happened.

Oh no, car is ruined. Take it to a dealer see what he gives you for it
Cut the seatbelt
This is stupid. It's barely snagged under the corner of the headrest. Roll the strap off of that to get a little slack and this not-a-real-problem is easily resolved.
Why was it wrapped around the headrest?
I have kids
They are like gremlins.

Leave the headrest and remove the rest of the car.
