Each year many thousands of children are injured or killed in the EU due to vehicle accidents. The updated UK Department of Transport (DoT) regulations (September 2006) concerning booster seats has sparked further interest and debate about in-vehicle child safety. The DoT estimates that implementation of these regulations could prevent over 2,000 child deaths or injuries each year in the UK.

The regulations state that children up to 135cms in height must use the appropriate child booster seat or cushion when travelling in any car, van or goods vehicle - there are very few exceptions. RoSPA state that with booster seats:

• the belt should be worn as tight as possible with no slack
• the lap belt should go over the pelvic region (from hip-bone to hip-bone), not the stomach
• the diagonal strap should rest over the shoulder, not the neck

Evidence is mounting from customers on just how much more secure their child is in their booster seat (or booster cushion) is when the CG-Lock is used. When a regular seatbelt is used to secure a child in a booster seat, the child seat can slide, tip, or rock even during normal cornering and braking (see 2 minute video below). This movement poses proven risk to the child. Indeed, looking at the RoSPA guidance above,

• it is not possible to keep the slack out of the lap belt without the CG-Lock.
• It is not possible to keep the lap belt from riding up over the stomach (during normal driving) without using a CG-Lock
• Although devices exist to keep the seatbelt diagonal from resting on the neck, by using the CG-Lock, the child tends to sit more upright, so has several extra inches height to 'clear' the diagonal strap from the neck.

The CG-Lock simply clips onto the existing seatbelt. It takes less than 5 minutes to install (see 2 minute video below).

We are so convinced that you'll be amazed at your improved driving with a CG-Lock fitted, we offer a full money back guarantee* if not delighted... and we've not had one returned yet... so you'll be the first!

We are proud to announce that the innovative CG-Lock® has received

The National Parenting Center's Seal of Approval

In granting the Seal of Approval, The National Parenting Center said:

"The CG Lock is a unique car safety device for parents with kids sitting in booster seats. The unique lock stabilizes your child's car booster seat by preventing some of the most typical issues that plague boosters such as tipping, rocking and bouncing. Our testers told us that they felt an increase in their personal feeling of safety, while noticing an improvement in their children's comfort. When you fasten your seat belt, you want it to fit snugly and impart a feeling that it will do its job in case of an accident. CG-Lock did just that. Recommended Age: 3 to 8."

Group 3: for children weighing 22 - 36 kgs (48 - 79 lbs) roughly from 6 - 11 years.

They can be used in the front or rear of the car, but it is safer to put them in the rear, especially if there is a passenger airbag in the front.

Booster seats and booster cushions do not have an integral harness to hold the child in place. The adule seat belt goes around the child and the seat. So it is important that the seat belt is correctly adjusted. The basic points to note are:

• the belt should be worn as tight as possible
• the lap belt should go over the pelvic region, not the stomach
• the diagonal strap should rest over the shoulder, not the neck
