Seat-Snug® Wins The National Parenting Center’s 2010 “Seal of Approval”
For Release 10am EST
This is the second CG-Lock Technology product that has received the Seal.
Layfayette Hill, Pennsylvania—February 9, 2010—Charles Carter CEO, Lap Belt Cinch Incorporated, announced that the company’s Seat-Snug device received The National Parenting Center’s 2010 Seal of Approval as a unique child car safety device that stabilizes children in booster seats to increase child safety and comfort. SeatSnug is designed specifically for children, to provide increased safety and reduce the risk of their injury in auto accidents, thus providing peace of mind to Moms, Dads, Grandmoms and Grandpops, as they drive children around. According to Mr. Carter, “The normal seat belt attachment allows slack or looseness to develop in the lap belt while riding, creating an unsafe condition, so the seat belt does not safely secure a child in a booster seat. With SeatSnug added to a seat belt, slack can be eliminated so a child is safely secured and so performance of the seat belt is optimized in the event of an accident.”
SeatSnug can be easily and quickly clipped onto a vehicle’s existing seat belt. 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 strap to more safely secure and stabilize the child, without affecting the normal operation of the shoulder strap. Once tightened, the lap belt cannot loosen so it won’t ride up on the abdomen. However, the child continues to have the comfort of free upper body movement. SeatSnug enhances child safety by preventing dangerous lap belt slack (looseness) while maintaining and enhancing comfort.
Mr Carter explained further; “Formal crash tests at 30 mph using Government standard protocols, demonstrated repeatedly that SeatSnug significantly reduced forces on the chest and at the hips by properly positioning the seat belt for optimum safety. SeatSnug represents a major advance in vehicle safety for children.”
SeatSnug incorporates the unique race track proven, extensively crash tested, and patented CG-Lock® Technology. SeatSnug has been endorsed by moms, including the Safety Mom, Alison Rhodes.
