Height adjustable headrest

The Model 28 harness can be used on some high backed booster seats with height adjustable headrests, which extend to grow with the child such as the Britax Adventure .

Some of our customers have found that they work very well together offering postural support or extra security for those with learning difficulties.

The model 28 harness is fitted directly onto the vehicle seat first , prior to fitting the high backed booster seat.

The high backed booster seat is then fitted onto the vehicle seat.

The shoulder straps and waist belt of the Crelling harness are then brought around the booster seat.

The shoulder straps should slot between the shoulder of the booster seat & the head rest.

The harness is now ready for the child to get into.

Place the child into the booster seat & fasten the harness according to the Model 28 fitting instructions.

Once the child is securely & comfortably fastened in the harness, fasten the vehicle seat belt over the top of our harness ensuring that it passes through the ‘belt guides’.

Please ensure that the high backed booster seat is fitted according to the manufacturers instructions & the head rest is adjusted correctly. A properly adjusted headrest ensures the optimum distribution of the diagonal belt & provides your child with the desired protection and comfort.

Model 28 will fit both single and bench seats, as long as there is access between the seat cushion

& back rest of the vehicle seat to pass the fixing straps vertically around the back rest.

IMPORTANT: This harness is not classed as a safety harness.

The vehicle safety belt MUST be worn over the top of our harness unless they are exempt for medical reasons.

The combination of the existing safety belt & the secondary harness offers added security for the passenger.

Model 28 Steel

Designed to offer postural support and a certain degree of restraint to children and adults to keep them in an upright sitting position.

Fits most types of vehicle seating including single , bench seats & some child booster seats .

To fit the harness access is required between the seat back and seat cushion to fasten the fixing straps vertically around the back rest.

IMPORTANT:

This harness is not classed as a safety harness.

The vehicle safety belt MUST be worn over the top of our harness unless they are exempt for medical reasons.

The waist belt on this harness is fitted with a Steel Safety buckle for those passengers with inquisitive fingers that can undo the press release buckle.

To Extend Straps

The 40mm Adjuster is slightly spring loaded to lock the webbing into position.

To release the webbing you need to squeeze the Adjuster whilst pulling on the lower webbing strap.

To Tighten Straps

Simply pull the tail end of the webbing strap.

The Adjuster will lock the webbing into position

Steel Safety 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.

The 40mm buckle has a Breaking Strain of 630 kg

We recommend that the buckle instructions provided with each harness are displayed in a prominent position in the vehicle to instruct the carer how to release the buckle mechanism in the event of an accident.

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.

A simple but effective device for ensuring the occupants of a car are able to exit quickly and safely, particularly in the overturned car.

It is perfectly safe as the blade is encased.
