Houdini Stop Clip

Product Information

The Houdini 28 harness works really well for my young client. We are using it in conjunction with a booster cushion and in about 6 months we can take the booster away, so it will be an easy transition for growth. The harness is perfect at meeting the needs of keeping the child safe, and she remains secure and doesn’t fiddle. The parents can use the harness well and it is easy for them to transfer into the 2 family cars for travel. The Houdini Stop Chest Strap is a safety device designed to prevent children from taking their arms out of their car seat, highchair, or stroller harness straps. Here are some key points about the Houdini Stop Chest Strap:

Chest clips, which are used to help secure a baby in a car seat, are not illegal in Australia. In fact, in Australia, chest clips are recommended in car seats for children aged 6 months and up, as long as the chest clip is fitted correctly and the shoulder straps are not too loose. It is important to ensure that the chest clip is positioned at the correct height, at the armpit level, and the straps should be securely fastened. While chest clips can help keep a baby safe in a car seat, it is important to ensure that the straps are not too tight, as this may cause discomfort or even difficulty breathing.

Houdini Strap Australia

Once the Houdini Stop car seat chest strap is in place, it will stay there, Your child can not easily move it up or down. It is universal and can be used on many types of harnesses, from car seats and H Harnesses, highchairs, and even prams or strollers. This car seat clip is the number 1 solution to stop children taking their arms out of their straps. Consider replacing the car seat. Either with one where the shoulder harness slots are closer together, if that is the problem, or one with an impact shield rather than a harness. While impact shields are controversial, they are safer than half a harness.

I sympathise greatly with all who experience this ‘problem’. I find it amazing that the ‘experts’ have not so far devised a solution that actually works and does not cost the earth. Has anyone thought about using one of those animal cages? – Joke! Yes is can. It is universal. It should not however be used with an existing chest clip. Please ensure the old chest clip is fully removed before using a Houdini StopYes. The Houdini Stop chest clip has been crash tested at the Autoliv Test Facility in Melbourne, Australia. The Houdini Stop has now been officially crash tested in both forward facing and rear facing situations, using Type B, A1, A2 and A4 seats. It meet the AS/NZS Standard 1754 and 8005:2013 in all the test situations. Yes is can, it is universal. It should not however be used with an existing chest clip. Please ensure the old chest clip is fully removed before using a Houdini Stop. For younger kids, play “car” using their dolls/stuffed animals/action figures and have the child switch roles and be the mom/dad who needs to teach the child how to sit safely in their straps while the car is moving.
