Houdini Stop Clip

Product Information

To be serious, I don’t really have a solution for you but must stress that, difficult as it is at the time, you must try to ignore the fact that your ‘little darling’ has escaped again and not be distracted until you have pulled up safely. This is especially so if you are on the motorway, where the most dangerous place is the hard-shoulder. Merritt manufactures car seats for children with special needs and truly understands some of the unique transportation challenges that some children have. This company also understands crash dynamics and has an attention to safety not typically found in other aftermarket products.

Most children are not dexterous or strong enough to manipulate the release mechanism. It's worth noting that it cannot be made 100% inescapable, as it needs to be easily released by an adult in an emergency situation. Some children may actually prefer having the Houdini Stop in place.

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! The Houdini stop is NOT illegal in the UK. There was obvious concern that car seats are designed to be opened with one red button. Obviously the Houdini is an extra clip to the one red button release however the ambulance service have said that in the case of an accident where evacuation needs to be speedy, they will simply cut with scissors through the car seat straps & the Houdini. Far superior than having a collision where the childs upper body is unrestrained. I spoke personally to the ambulance service about it.

The Houdini Stop has been officially crash tested to the AS/NZ 1754 Standard by Autoliv Australia and independently reviewed by ACRI in Australia. This revolutionary car seat chest clip has been proven not to interfere with the existing car seat harnessing in anyway and does not ride up and cause a choking hazard in a simulated accident situation. Design: It consists of two clips joined by a length of non-toxic red silicone. These clips attach to the harness straps of the car seat, highchair, or stroller to hold them closer together, preventing the child from wriggling out. Just realised that the Houdini strap is actually illegal in Europe at the moment, so scrap that idea. The clips connect to each of the 2 car seat straps and hold them closer together preventing your child from wriggling out. 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.
