"Many children who ride in child safety
seats are improperly secured. A survey of more than 17,500 children found that only 15% of children
in safety seats were correctly harnessed into correctly installed seats ."

A child with arms out of a harness is at risk of head and
face injury, and Seat
Belt Syndrome.
Hug-it was invented to prevent these risks, keep your children safe in the back, and give you peace of mind and safer driving. Hug-it adds to the security of harnesses. Harnesses are not tested with real children, only with dummies. Dummies stay put. Real children get out of harnesses all the time. A harness is little protection if a child has one or both arms out. Or is free in the back of the car. Hug-it keeps kids in their harness... and when you release the harness buckle, Hug-it comes loose. There are no extra fastenings to undo. Hug-it - because your children are not crash test dummies.

Motor vehicle injuries are the greatest public health problem facing children today. In fact, they are the leading cause of death among them (Centre for Disease Control USA 2003). In the United States during 2002, 1,543 children ages 14 years and younger died as occupants in motor vehicle crashes, and approximately 227,000 were injured. Thats an average of 4 deaths and 622 injuries each day. Of the children ages 0 to 14 years who were killed in motor vehicle crashes during 2002, 50% were unrestrained . Of the children ages 4 years and younger who were fatally injured in 2002, 40% were unrestrained . But the USA and parts of Europe have safer child seats. The harness that comes with the seat often has a clip to stop children pushing out of the shoulder straps. Hug-it is a great improvement on these clips, and is available now in the UK |
