Buckle assemblies for use with child seats and other personal restraint systems in vehicles are disclosed herein. A buckle assembly configured in accordance with one embodiment of the disclosure includes a housing assembly that receives at least a portion of a web connector. The housing assembly includes a coating having a generally soft or tactile surface finish. For example, the coating can be at least partially elastically compressible.
1. A restraint assembly for releasably restraining an occupant in a vehicle, the restraint assembly comprising: a web connector including a tongue having an engagement feature;a web receiving portion configured to receive a web; anda tongue cover at least partially covering the web receiving portion
1. A restraint assembly for releasably restraining an occupant in a vehicle, the restraint assembly comprising: a web connector including a tongue having an engagement feature;a web receiving portion configured to receive a web; anda tongue cover at least partially covering the web receiving portion;a housing assembly configured to releasably engage the web connector tongue, the housing assembly includinga housing cover, wherein the housing cover at least partially defines an opening that receives the tongue; andone or more locking features configured to releasably engage the engagement feature; andan actuator movable relative to the housing assembly, wherein movement of the actuator from a first position toward a second position releases the one or more locking features from the engagement feature;wherein the housing cover has a first surface finish with a first durometer hardness equal to or less than approximately Shore A 70, and the actuator has a second surface finish with a second durometer hardness equal to or less than approximately Shore A 70, and wherein the second durometer hardness is different from the first durometer hardness. 2. The restraint assembly of claim 1 wherein at least one of the first and second surface finishes is elastically compressible. 3. A restraint assembly for releasably restraining an occupant in a vehicle, the restraint assembly comprising: a web connector including a tongue having an engagement feature;a web receiving portion configured to receive a web; anda tongue cover at least partially covering the web receiving portion;a housing assembly configured to releasably engage the web connector tongue, the housing assembly includinga housing cover, wherein the housing cover at least partially defines an opening that receives the tongue; andone or more locking features configured to releasably engage the engagement feature; andan actuator movable relative to the housing assembly, wherein movement of the actuator from a first position toward a second position releases the one or more locking features from the engagement feature;wherein at least one of the tongue cover, the housing cover, or the actuator includes a surface finish having a durometer hardness equal to or less than approximately Shore A 70, and wherein the surface finish has a texture of soft leather. 4. The restraint assembly of claim 3 wherein the surface finish comprises a paint. 5. The restraint assembly of claim 4 wherein the paint comprises a urethane paint. 6. A restraint assembly for releasably restraining an occupant in a vehicle, the restraint assembly comprising: a first web connector including a first tongue having a first engagement feature;a first web receiving portion configured to receive a first web; anda first tongue cover at least partially covering the first web receiving portion;a second web connector including a second tongue having a second engagement feature;a second web receiving portion configured to receive a second web; anda second tongue cover at least partially covering the second web receiving portion;a housing assembly configured to releasably engage the first and second tongues, the housing assembly including a housing cover, wherein the housing cover at least partially defines an opening that receives at least the first tongue; andone or more locking features configured to releasably engage at least the first engagement feature; andan actuator movable relative to the housing assembly, wherein movement of the actuator from a first position toward a second position releases the one or more locking features from the first engagement feature;wherein each of the first tongue cover and the second tongue cover includes a surface finish having a durometer hardness equal to or less than approximately Shore A 70. 7. The restraint assembly of claim 6 wherein the surface finish comprises a paint. 8. The restraint assembly of claim 7 wherein the paint comprises a urethane paint. 9. A web connector assembly comprising: a web connector configured to be coupled to a web;a housing assembly configured to receive at least a portion of the web connector;a first coating disposed over at least a portion of the housing assembly, wherein the first coating has a first thickness and is elastically compressible to a second thickness that is approximately 90% of the first thickness;an actuator movable relative to the housing assembly, wherein movement of the actuator releases the web connector from the housing assembly; anda second coating disposed over at least a portion of the actuator; anda third coating disposed over at least a portion of the web connector, wherein each of the second and third coatings has the first thickness and is elastically compressible to the second thickness. 10. A web connector assembly comprising: a web connector configured to be coupled to a web;a housing assembly configured to receive at least a portion of the web connector;a first coating disposed over at least a portion of the housing assembly, wherein the first coating has a first thickness and is elastically compressible to a second thickness that is approximately 90% of the first thickness; anda second coating disposed over at least a portion of the web connector, wherein the second coating is softer than the first coating. 11. The web connector assembly of claim 10 wherein the first coating has a durometer hardness that is equal to or less than approximately Shore A 70. 12. A web connector assembly comprising: a web connector configured to be coupled to a web;a housing assembly configured to receive at least a portion of the web connector; anda coating disposed over at least a portion of the housing assembly, wherein the coating has a first thickness and is elastically compressible to a second thickness that is approximately 90% of the first thickness, wherein the coating comprises a urethane paint, and wherein the urethane paint comprises a resin, a thinner, and a hardener. 13. A method of manufacturing a personal restraint assembly, the method comprising: forming a web connector having a tongue portion and a web receiving portion;covering at least a portion of the web receiving portion with a first coating having a durometer hardness equal to or less than approximately Shore A 70;forming a housing assembly having a housing cover at least partially defining an opening that receives the tongue portion; andcovering at least a portion of the housing cover with a second coating, wherein the first coating is softer than the second coating. 14. The method of claim 13 wherein covering at least a portion of the web receiving portion comprises painting at least a portion of the web receiving portion with the first coating. 15. The method of claim 14 wherein painting at least a portion of the web receiving portion comprises brushing the first coating on at least a portion of the web receiving portion. 16. The method of claim 14 wherein painting at least a portion of the web receiving portion comprises spraying the first coating on at least a portion of the web receiving portion. 17. The method of claim 13 wherein covering at least a portion of the housing cover comprises at least partially immersing the housing cover in the second coating when the second coating is in a liquid form. 18. The method of claim 13 wherein forming the web connector comprises at least partially cold forming the tongue portion and the web receiving portion. 19. The method of claim 13 wherein forming the housing comprises injection molding the housing cover.
