IMPORTANT
:
If you are intending to use the Houdini Stop on a child car seat, we would strongly advise that you
check with the car seat
manufacturer first to seek their approval
as there can be differences in regulations between EC and other countries.
( NB: Britax have not approved the use of the Houdini Stop for use with their child car seats )
Emergency Seat Belt Cutter
(Optional Extra)
We strongly recommend that a seat belt cutter is kept in the vehicle
as a safety precaution for those harnesses fitted with a Steel Safety Buckle.
It is perfectly safe as the blade is encased.

Houdini Stop
Model 28 fitted with the Steel Safety Buckle (28SB) comes fitted with a
Houdini Stop free of charge. It is optional with Model 28 Press Release (28)
This chest strap ensures the passenger stays safely and correctly
positioned within their harness.
It simply clips on to each shoulder strap of the harness to help prevent
the passenger from separating the shoulder straps in order to escape.
Steel Safety Buckle
40mm Buckle
This buckle has proven extremely successful when fitted to our
harnesses as an alternative to the standard ‘quick release’ buckle.
It helps prevent those passengers with inquisitive fingers,
challenging behaviour or learning difficulties from releasing the
harness buckle.
The buckle operates in reverse to the standard vehicle buckles as
it is opened by raising a spring loaded lever or over-catch and
will
not press release
. The spring loaded over-catch locks the buckle
when assembled and prevents accidental opening.
There is a knurled sliding bar for adjustment designed to prevent
webbing slip.
The buckle is made from Type 316 Stainless Steel and Nylon 6 and
is assembled with tamper proof screws.
40mm buckle - B/Strain 630 kgs.
50mm buckle - B/Strain 500 kgs
We recommend that the buckle instructions provided with each
harness are displayed in a prominent position in the vehicle - to
instruct the user how to release the buckle mechanism in the event
of an accident.
50mm Buckle
Webbing is threaded
through the sliding
bar buckle
Loose ends of webbing
are often passed back
through these slides to
prevent slippage & to
prevent the Fixing Straps
from loosening during
transit.
