Important Notes

• Houdini vehicle harnesses are not classed as safety harness but as a medical device for postural support. 

• Must be worn in conjunction with the vehicle safety belt. It is classed as a Disabled Persons Restraints for postural support and as a low risk medical device it carries the CE mark and complies with the requirements of MDD 93/42 EEC.

• It is advisable to carry out a risk assessment for each client in order to consider the problems involved and what the situation would be if the passenger is not wearing a special needs harness. Could they be in danger to themselves and to other passengers in that vehicle or even other drivers on the road if they are not safely seated during transit?

• The safety belt provided in the vehicle must always be worn over the top of our harness to comply with safety regulations unless they are exempt for medical reasons. The combination of the existing vehicle safety belt & the secondary harness offers added security for the passenger.

• The Houdini harnesses can be used with booster bases only, however cannot be used in conjunction with a booster seat which has a backrest on it.
