Based upon the crash test results, which highlighted the optimization benefits of the CG-Lock technology in maintaining the user “in-position” relative to the seat belt at the time of an accident, we can now claim that the CG-Lock “Optimizes seat belt performance to enhance safety in forward, lateral and rollover accidents.”

What is the CG-Lock
The CG-Lock is the first improvement to the standard 3 point inertia reel belt since its introduction 50 years ago. It is a small palm sized device that clips onto the existing tongue of your seat belt (the bit that you reach for when buckling up) in less than 5 minutes and keeps the slack out of the lap belt portion of the seat belt (the part that goes across your lap). In effect, the CG-Lock lets your existing seat belt work like an aircraft seat belt: when you take the slack out of the lap belt, it stays out… if you want to loosen it off, simply press the lever and slacken it off. The safest way to travel when wearing a seat belt is to have the lap belt with no slack and have it resting on the pelvic bone (across the hips). Without the CG-Lock one can only achieve this by repeatedly sitting upright and pulling the diagonal section of the seat belt to remove the slack. Most people don’t do this and so the lap belt ‘rides up’ over the stomach. This is potentially dangerous! The CG-Lock is an elegant solution to the problem… buckling up as you should do will lead to the slack staying out of the lap belt and the lap belt remaining on your pelvic bone (over the hips)… exactly where it should be. The diagonal part of the seat belt is unaffected so you can still reach around the cabin as normal (to reach the dash controls etc.). Please watch the videos to better understand this great little gadget and also look at the many applications for the device too!

When seated in a vehicle, ones hips become ones center of gravity. By fixing this point, one has vastly superior control of the vehicle and is helped to maintain correct posture. The CG-Lock (CG is for Center of Gravity) achieves this by reversibly securing (cinching) the lap belt portion (tongue (T) to end bracket (EB) in the diagram) of a standard automobile 3-point seat belt, to add significant new functionality. The CG-Lock has been proven to not interfere with the existing, built-in safety functions of the factory fitted seat belt. FMVSS 208 and 213 testing, and other related crash studies have been independently conducted using highly-reproducible protocols and state-of-the-art dual sled test equipment. Results of a rigorous test series demonstrated that the addition of the CG-Lock to a typical seat belt restraint system does not compromise safety, and indeed enhances safety. The CG-Lock does not tighten the shoulder section of the seat belt from the tongue (T) to the B-pillar loop (BP) allowing driver / passenger to use the shoulder section of the seat belt as normal. As the slack is removed from the lap belt, less slack remains in the shoulder section, further assisting the occupant to be positioned properly in the seat.
Quite simply! When sitting in a car, your hips become your Center of Gravity. By securing your center of gravity, you are more “at one” with your vehicle. CG-Lock simply attaches to the tongue of your existing seat belt, allowing you to secure the lap belt section of your existing seat belt.
Once installed, pulling up on the shoulder harness tightens the lap belt portion - keeping it at the desired tightness until you release it. The shoulder harness however remains unrestrained as normal for maximum arm and upper body movements.
By providing you with 80% of the holding power of a full racing harness, the CG-Lock prevents you from sliding around in your seat.

Why do I need a CG-Lock?
How does it works?
Less movement means you can keep your feet and hands light on the pedals and wheel resulting in better control, faster reactions and less fatigue. Becoming “one with the vehicle” helps you feel the road and the car’s “balance”, enhancing your driving abilities. A slight tightening of the lap belt reduces slouching and adds comfort for long trips or truck drivers. Greater amounts of tightening will increase driver and occupant control in more aggressive track, emergency or rigorous off road and military situations.
While the CG-Lock is not sold as a safety device, it has been designed and tested not to interfere with the safety of your seat belt.
