is the belt a retractable or static and does it go through rear seat.has the kid pulled it out all the way out or pulled it the wrong way ,bit unsure what has happened.

check around the reel to see if something has fallen down to jam it,i have not seen one broke yet from pulling out all the way,check belt has not twisted as that can stop it also.

yep sounds like retractor may be gone,sometimes if you pull it gently it might have released what ever jammed.

as a rule i dont open then up as they are a safety device,if you can remove it and look at it closely when you pull it out is there any spring at all,if not it may have broken so then wont retract,sometimes you can get replacement ones from breakers
as new ones i would imagine could be 180+
