Question front seatbelt stuck in back latch, cant pull out

My very special father took one of the front seatbelts and stretched it back and connected to one of the latches in the back seat and now it wont unlatch. I noticed the thickness of the metal part of the seatbelts in the front are thicker than the ones in back. I have tried pushing the button in as far as i can and tugging, even tried it with two people. anyone come across this before or know a trick to get it out?

Thanks in advance for any help!

Someone recently posted that their seatbelt (in the CORRECT latch) wouldn't uncouple. They found that a small piece of plastic (the thing that holds the tags on new clothing) had wedged inside the latch. In the event that it's not a thickness issue, you might want to try digging with a paperclip or some good 'ol brute force. Good luck.

I don't even want to know why he did that but, your going to have to try to stick something very thin in there while depressing the button to see if you can get it to unlatch. Because its thicker the button can't go down as far as needed to release it. If you look into the other one and depress the button you will see where and what you need to do by observing the latch movement.
