SeatSnug® is a first-of-its-kind product that enhances both the safety and
comfort of children riding in booster seats. SeatSnug is a one-of-a kind, crash
tested, patented product that enhances seatbelt performance. SeatSnug provides a
safer, more stable and more comfortable ride for children in booster seats and
reduces the risk of injury in the event of an auto accident.
Why Does Your Child Need SeatSnug®?
Children in booster seats are at risk of injury and death due to seatbelt
slack (looseness). The three-point seatbelt commonly used in motor vehicles,
represents a compromise between safety and comfort. A three-point seatbelt
allows slack to develop in the lap belt portion while children (or adults!) are
riding in a vehicle. Seatbelt slack is acknowledged in the auto industry as a
major contributor to injuries and deaths in vehicular accidents.
A loose seatbelt allows a child in a booster seat to bounce around, rock,
tip, slide, and even fall over during normal vehicle maneuvering, which can
result in injuries, such as a child’s head being thrown against the side of
the vehicle, as well as leading to child discomfort, including motion sickness.
In frontal impact accidents or during panic stops, a loose seatbelt can further
lead to a child submarining under the lap belt. Loose lap belts are also
contributors to children, whether in a booster seat or riding without a booster
seat, ejecting out of the seatbelt in rollover accidents, allowing children to
“fly around” the vehicle, resulting in the potential for severe injuries and
even death—even though the seatbelt was buckled!
What’s the Solution?
The brand new SeatSnug® allows the lap belt to be lightly tightened around a
child’s hips while riding in a vehicle, preventing seatbelt slack or looseness
from developing.
By gently securing a child while riding in a booster seat, SeatSnug®
substantially eliminates bouncing, rocking, tipping, falling over, submarining,
and ejection, thus reducing the potential for injuries and death in vehicular
accidents. At the same time, SeatSnug® improves child stability and comfort.
How Does SeatSnug® Work?
SeatSnug® can be easily and quickly clipped onto a vehicle’s existing
factory installed seatbelt. Once a child in a booster seat is buckled up, the
lap belt may be lightly tightened around the child’s hips by pulling up on the
shoulder strap to more safely secure the child, without affecting the normal
operation of the shoulder strap. The child continues to have the comfort of free
upper body movement. Thus, SeatSnug® enhances child safety while maintaining
and enhancing comfort.
Safety experts recommend that, when buckling a child, the lap belt should be
pulled snug over the upper thighs and hips and should not be allowed to ride up
on the tummy or abdomen. But while riding with the normal seatbelt
attachment, the lap belt will loosen because of vehicle and child movement,
allowing the child to bounce around, tip and even fall over during normal
vehicle maneuvering. With the crash tested and race track tested SeatSnug added
to the seatbelt, the lap belt cannot loosen while riding so it remains
comfortably snug over a child’s upper thighs and hips and away from the tummy
and abdomen, providing a safer, more stable and more comfortable ride.
SeatSnug clips on the buckle tongue of a seatbelt to make installation quick and
easy and it has an “on-off” button so it can be kept on the seatbelt at all
times. When buckling up a child in a booster seat, pull up on the shoulder strap
to lightly tighten the lap belt over the child’s upper thighs and hips.
SeatSnug keeps the lap belt secure and prevents it from loosening while riding
and leaves the shoulder belt unrestrained for the child’s routine travel
activities.
SeatSnug® incorporates the unique race track proven, crash tested, and
patented CG-Lock® Technology (visit www.CG-Lock.com for more insights about the
CG-Lock).
The CG-Lock technology received The National Parenting Center’s Seal of
Approval as a unique car safety device that stabilizes children in booster seats
to increase child safety and comfort. SeatSnug® is a CG-Lock technology product
designed specifically for children, to provide peace of mind to Moms and
Grandmoms, while they drive children around.
SeatSnug solves the problem of lap belt looseness. Once a child in a booster
seat is buckled up, the lap belt may be lightly tightened around the child's
upper thighs and hips by pulling up on the shoulder belt, without affecting the
normal operation of the shoulder belt. The child continues to have the freedom
of upper body movement while being secured at the hips to enhance safety and
comfort. By gently securing a child and preventing lap belt looseness, SeatSnug
stops tipping and falling, prevents the lap belt from riding up the abdomen, and
reduces the risk of injury from most accidents, from sharp braking, and from
sharp maneuvering.
