"I first brought a CG Lock some 18 months ago and after easy installation I found immediate benefits when using the system.

Personally I would recommend the CG Lock to anyone with lower back issues, just to see if it helps correct your driving posture/pain"

"I’d like to compliment its versatile design where, once first fitted, which is a doddle anyway with a couple of screws and the hex key to go with it, the system is not enforced on you to use. You can simply slide off the clamping bar, by hand, with no tools required, and you have your regular seat belt system again. This is especially handy for the short trips to the shop where I donā€™t particularly want to use it or remove it. Keep up the good work!"

"I bought the CG Lock as part of a group by run on the MR2 Owner Club. I was a bit wary about it at first and wondered whether it would actually be any good and make any difference. Well I was wrong, it helps with my posture because it keeps me pinned to the back of the seat. This means that when I get out of my car my back doesnā€™t ache. I also donā€™t move around in the seat anymore and this is most noticeable especially when cornering.

I use my CG Lock on a daily basis for my commute to and from work and if I get into a car without one I donā€™t feel safe."

"I bought two of these, primarily for my Nissan Skyline. However, when I read the leaflet I realised that they might well help my usual problem - backache. I drive a lot for work, so first off I fitted one of them to my day to day car.

Its a brilliant gadget and one I wish I’d found years ago."

"I find the CG-Lock to have a massive benefits in my day to day road driving, everwhere I drive I arrive fresher and less fatigued. I think every car should be fitted with one."

"The CG-Lock is truly a LIFE SAVER and well worth the cost. I was a little sceptical before having a CG-lock applied to my own vehicle and can categorically state the improvements I have felt with my posture and overall feeling of safety have been phenomenal. We now recommend the lock (to all of our clients at JS Miller Solicitors where they have suffered an injury) as a way of making driving long distances more bearable. This is the kind of product you may only discover when it’s too late so if you are looking to maximise safety for you and/or your staff/loved ones, then check out this device."

Jeanette Miller

"Since I fitted the CG Lock to my seat belt I can’t bear being without it….to such an extent that if I know I’m going to be ‘driven’ for some time, I bring the CG Lock with me and fit it to my passenger belt! It simply makes the driving experience so much more comfortable and safe. My posture is much improved, which means I suffer less back pain and I feel so much safer knowing that in the event of a roll-over accident, my head isn’t going to meet up with the roof of the car. For me, that’s priceless. I can’t believe these things aren’t fitted as standard in all cars…"

"Having used the lock daily over the last 2-3 years, I really missed the additional comfort being held securely into the seat by the lap-strap. The replacement c-g lock arrived last week and was promptly re-fitted to my Fabia vRS. I’ll soon be ordering another one for my wife to use in her Discovery as she is currently recovering from a back operation. Thanks again."

"The CG-Lock made long journeys in my Lotus Elise more comfortable. I can also say that after I recently wrote it off by spinning into a lamp post sideways the only part of the right side of my body that was not bruised was my hips which were obviously securely locked in position. I will certainly be using CG-Locks in my new vehicle which is going to be a Series 3 Land Rover, where there is plenty more scope for rattling around in an accident. :-)

I can also say that your customer service is outstanding. Excellent!"

"I use my CG-Lock currently in my Nissan 350Z primarily for performance use (road and occasional track days). I have also had previous problems with low back pain, so the lock helps to keep my bum where it should be as an added bonus! I already have a passenger one in the 350Z but I want a 3rd one for the driver’s side of my Audi S3."

John Odeny

"Have been using the CG-Lock for the past 2 days now and it’s bloody brilliant! Just come home off a 12 hour night shift and my hour drive home used to be very slouchy, but this morning it felt great being pinned to the seat. Feels weird being in a car without them now though, kind of an un safe feeling…"

John Hargreaves

"I accidentally found out about the CG-Lock at a high performance driving event at a nearby racetrack. My driving skills were improving each day, but I felt helpless in negotiating some tight turns as my body would bounce around from one side of my seat to the other. All my energy was being wasted on holding the steering wheel tight enough to keep my hips in the seat, instead of concentrating on the driving. When one of the instructors offered the CG-Lock for me to try, everything changed. By keeping my hips ā€œgluedā€ to the seat I quickly felt the weight transfer of the car, and thus my driving skills improved greatly.

I am ordering more CG-Locks for both my cars and will bring them with us when we travel with our children."

"I have a CG-Lock fitted in a Ford Galaxy. I use it for normal driving with my family. I find it helps my posture, reduces back pain and reduces rolling around.

I shall be buying two others now for my passenger and child seat in the back."

"Having used a CG Lock for some months in my own road car, I have known of its abilities to hold you comfortably in place whilst cornering etc. on twisty country roads within national speed limits. As it says in the information & advertising, it is “Occupant Stability Equipment” when used correctly, in conjunction with the primary restraint system….ie the seat belt.

I would thoroughly recommend it"

"Pull your seatbelt nice and tight across your lap and your bottom half doesnā€™t budge an inch. Equally, having suffered from a bad back the majority of my life Iā€™ve found CG-Locks to be excellent at promoting a proper upright driving position which works wonders for my spine. Suffice it to say a bad back after a long journey is no longer a problem.

ā€˜Highly Recommendedā€™."

"The service that I received from your company was absolutely first rate, I sent an e-mail during the evening of Thursday 22nd January, the replacement arrived on saturday morning (24th) and was fitted by 11am!! How fantastic is that?

In fact I did such a great job of explaining to my wife how wonderful the CG-Lock is and how it helps those with back problems as well as those who have a disability that the replacement was fitted to HER car as our 13 year old daughter has cerebral palsy and has used a 3-point harnesss for some while. No more though, with the CG-Lock fitted she is held and supported superbly - no need now for the harness anymore."

Nigel Silman

"I saw the CG-Lock online and figured it might be the best way for me to avoid lower back pain when driving - I have an ongoing problem with my back.

CG-Lock customer service is great and if you have back problems and drive a lot try a CG-Lock before anything else - it’s cheaper than an osteopath!"

Phil Newman

"Its now been 18 months since I started using CG-Lock in my Ford Mondeo Estate. Since then all the seatbelts have been fitted with one, so the benefits I have been enjoying are also enjoyed by the rest of the family including my 9 year old son.

Several days later, my replacement CG-Lock arrived in the post as promised and was promptly fitted in the car. THANK YOU CG-Lock. A superb company to deal with. A superb product to use."

"It is quite rare for me to take time out to praise a service or product i have recently experienced, however i have been so impressed with the CG Lock i have broken with tradition! I drive on average 25,000 miles per annum and I often suffered from lower back pain but since I installed the CG Lock to my Chrysler 300C (pictured below) the frequent long trips leave me feeling great with no back ache at all. This has given me more energy and helped with my driving and my work as I am less distracted by the pain. Not only has the lower back pain disappeared, but with the CG Lock the car is also alot more fun to drive. In my opinion every car should be fitted with the CG Lock, comfort and fun arenā€™t often associated together but in this case they most defiantly are."

Chris Fargher
Chrysler 300C driver

"The CG-Lock took a little getting used to but after a couple of days I had it mastered and have to say that the product is fantastic. I can now drive with peace of mind that I am doing the best I can in terms of my back and also in terms of safety. That’s not to mention the improved feel it gives you when driving on challenging roads. It makes the connection between driver and car feel more solid and stops you from gripping the steering wheel to hold on, instead I can now use the steering wheel as intended and steer my car without any movement across the seat.

I would recommend this product to anyone who has concerns about safety, back problems or just wants to feel more at one with their vehicle. So that covers just about everyone who owns a car."

"Just a short note to say how very pleased I am with my CG-Lock, I used to have Recaro seats in my Seat Leon Cupra R and when I changed to a newer one I lost them and also lost the support they give when….. ahem “goin for it”. I also found that the lack of support agravated my back condition (ankylosing spondilitis). I had read about CG-Lock on the web and seen it in my local motorsport shop but for a long time thought, like maybe a lot of people, snake oil, how can just locking my seat belt help with my driving? The fitting was simplicity itself and after a couple of days, tighening before i drove off became second nature. Now about how it performed, nothing short of amazing!

What more could you ask for and it has lasted longer than the go faster bits!!! Thank you."

Pete Evans

"I have a bit of a back problem and the lock keeps the belt snug against my hips and so helps my posture. It is great and I wish I had heard about it before. I now want to get one for my son for Christmas."

Tony Boulton
BMW 120D owner

"I am amazed with the device. Iā€™m just an everyday driver (not a performance driver!) but I really love the CG lock. I love the way it feels to be held back into the seat and keeps me from sliding around when cornering. Using the CG Lock has enabled me to be ā€œat-one with the vehicleā€ā€¦ I can sense the vehicles movement better, react sooner, and ā€œfeelā€ my way through the tricky spots more easily. I definitely feel that my safety is increased.

I would be happy to recommend the CG Lock to anyone."

David Rozman

"I wanted to let you know how pleased I am with the effects of the CG-Lock which I bought from your company recently.

The fact that I feel safe & much more comfortable in my car is worth much more than the cost of this ingenious device. I would happily recommend the CG-Lock to any driver."

Sharon Byrne

"I am a serving Police officer on a specialist unit and after suffering a back injury whilst on duty around three years ago, I have had trouble sitting in a car for any length of time.

"I have suffered with lower back pain for many years and I find that the CG Lock helps maintain a better posture by not allowing you to slouch in the seat. I have used it on trips into Europe and get to the end of the journey with much less discomfort than usual."

"I’m fortunate enough to own a John Cooper Works GP. This car is one of only 2000 in the world. With fantastic acceleration and cornering this car is a car to be driven and thatā€™s exactly what I have been doing.

I bought the car in August last year and since then it has been through much of Europe and along the twisting roads of the Alps and through the St Bernardā€™s Pass. Now I am about to take on the Dolomites Challenge, covering as many mountain passes as possible in 2 weeks, and a couple of months later, the Italian Job which incorporates 4 track days, including the amazing circuit at Monza.

With so many bends ahead of me I purchased the CG-Lock a couple of months back and the first time I used it was on the Top Gear test track.

The CG-Lock made an incredible difference when taking on corners for my passenger and myself. I no longer have to brace myself before taking a corner which has allowed me to concentrate on the driving at hand. My co-driver no longer has to shift around in the seat and is free to video our adventures as we go along.

After coming back from a recent road trip around France, Iā€™m finding that Iā€™m less fatigued after a long journey. The lock holds you correctly in your seat at all times, stopping you from putting strain on your back.

A ‘must buy’ for day to day driving and track lovers alike."

"Iā€™ve always found that on long journeys I tend to slump down in the seat, with the inevitable backache. The CG-Lock really helped - on my last 500 mile trip home from the Nurburgring to Bournemouth (first one with the CG-Lock) I arrived with none whatsoever!"

Paul Sweeney
Alfa 145 Owner

"I also felt like I was sitting properly, as the CG Lock did not allow me to slump in my seat as I often did before. I would previously start out in a good, healthy position and end my journey somewhat slumped in the seat. When using the CG Lock I found I stayed in the same position throughout, which has only got to be a good thing for my back and posture!"

Rob Mabey
Seat Leon Cupra R

"The product is superb. Even on normal driving I still use it as it makes me sit back and upright in the seat."

Gary Hall
Impreza WRX driver

"First impressions of the CG-Lock was that they’re a bit fiddly for the quick nip up the road kind of journey, but definitely worthwhile for the 5mile plus outings. The wife gets on well with the passenger side belt saying she feels much more secure. The car has been treated to suspension upgrades and also new anti-roll bars so the added firmness of the belt is reassuring. For myself, I think the overall effect is excellent. I purchased the CG Locks not just for the sports feel but for posture as well. I do suffer in the lower back area and the locks do take the tension away from the spine. I’ve also got the aftermarket Seat Sport Recaro’s which are heavily bolstered with lumber support and the locks are definitely a great addition to the whole package.

The thing that impressed me the most was the added security for my 3 1/2yr old girl. The seat that she uses is an Isofix unit that fixes directly to the chassis of the vehicle. This is all great, but this also relies on the original lap belt from the car for restraint. The CG Lock maintains a firm hold of the lap part of the belt which gives me great peace of mind. By locking the unit permanently to a pre-checked tension, I’m guaranteed to always get the seat belt tension right every time. Thanks, great item!"

"I just wanted to say that the CG-Lock is a fantastic addition to our car. My wife and I picked up the CG-Locks at the MPH 2007 exhibition as we were impressed with the demonstration and its benefits. Weā€™ve recently changed cars to a higher powered 305 BHP Vectra VXR and the first thing to transfer over was the CG-Locks. The devices work great and on long journeys have prevented back pain by holding us firmly into the seats. Everyone who has sat in the passenger seat with CG-Lock have expressed their interest in the device. Good work."

Steve Lloyd
VXR driver

"A brilliant accessory I canā€™t imagine living without. Immediately I felt much more comfortable and supported in the car with no nagging lower back pain. I canā€™t believe what a difference it has made, the CG Lock makes an already amazing driving experience in the Z even better. Iā€™ve started to recommend them to everyone I know and think they should be offered as an option from every car manufacturer."
