Stability leads to confident, controlled, safer driving

The CG-Lock is probably one of the smartest little aids ever introduced to the mobility market which according to our first clients makes it “a must for all disabled drivers”.

Secure a stable sitting position with CG-Lock

The CG-Lock is a small metal device that clips on to your existing seatbelt in less than 5 minutes. Once in place it allows you to tightly secure your pelvis via the lap belt, whilst still allowing full upper body mobility.

Better position = a better journey

A stable seating position with the CG-Lock eliminates the risk of sliding forward in the seat and provides an ergonomically correct sitting position and greater comfort.

Increased safety due to a better positioning that enhances the seatbelt's effect.

Stabilized seating allowing better control of primary and secondary functions with all kinds of handcontrols.

Great for wheelchair users

The CG-Lock in combination with the Autoadapt XL Belt also guarantees a safe and stable ride for people sitting in their wheelchair in a Rear Entry solution.

Autocar quote: It does exactly what it promises

Enhancing control, comfort and safety of your vehicle

For many, the freedom of the road is just a dream because body instability leads to ‘turn right, fall left’ with limited control of the car resulting in not ‘making the grade’ to safely drive a modified vehicle on the roads. For certain types of disability, the CG-Lock will change all that and get many people back behind the wheel, stabilised and full of confidence to drive safely… giving you the freedom of the road.

Easy to install and use

A simple and ingenious device, the CG-Lock is manufactured from high quality stainless steel components and is installed in just a few minutes, with no drilling or damage to the standard factory fitted seatbelt. It is fully removable in seconds.

When in the driving position the hips become ones centre of gravity. With the CG-Lock fitted you are held tight in the car seat, with 80% of the driver control and feedback of a race harness (as verified by Circuit Driver & British Racing News magazines). Unlike a race harness, the CG-Lock tightly secures only the pelvis. With hips secured, the upper body tends to be secure too.

What people using it are saying

"The discovery of the CG-LOCK has made an amazing difference." Tim Evans, Aston Martin & Range Rover driver, 2009.

"My name is Tim Evans and I have lost my right leg, this makes driving a little difficult, but the discovery of the CG-LOCK has at last made an amazing difference. Now I can drive any automatic vehicle as the CG-LOCK holds my hips back into the seat and totally stops any submarining. The second unit that I purchased my son swiped to put in his car and now I can't get it back as he swears by it for holding him in his seat for a little spirited driving. I also find the CG-LOCK excellent when off roading and many of my friends in off roading clubs are interested as the CG-LOCK is a much cheaper alternative to a full harness and a lot simpler."

More user stories

One of the first people to try the CG-Lock was Roger who is a bi-lateral above knee amputee. Roger said “I had not been able to drive a car for over 3 years due to having an unstable upper body in a moving vehicle… but as soon as my hips were secured, I was able to drive again, liberating me from 3 years of no driving! I am sure this little device will help lots of people like myself”.

Another success story came from Amy who has Cerebral Palsy (CP) which affects her ability to walk and hence drives with hand controls. The CP also affects her balance and fine control of her movements. In a very short space of time Amy was very impressed with the CG- Lock and found that she felt much more in control and secure. For those who have problems staying upright, this product can be a great deal of help and can make it much safer to ride in the vehicle. It can also make it much more comfortable.

Amy said “After trying a seat belt fixing (of the CG-Lock) it made me realise how many times I can become unbalanced while driving everyday. At first it felt peculiar to have the seat belt tighter around my seat but once I started driving it was not noticeable, I found it easier than usual to make turns because I felt comfortable in my seat and did not need to worry about my legs or hips twisting”.
