Houdini 27 Harness

The Houdini 27 is a 5-point harness, suitable for single backrest seats e.g. front vehicle seat, split rear backrest seats, bus, and airline seats. (Check with airline). The harness is connected to a back pad which is fitted horizontally around the vehicle seat back with two horizontal straps.

Identical to the Houdini 28; however, straps fasten horizontally (not vertically).

Access to rear of seat is necessary when installing.

The harness is not a vehicle restraint, and therefore the vehicle seatbelt must always be used.

Most harnesses and vests available in Australia are positioning devices, or devices used to reduce the risk of occupants getting out of their vehicle seat. The vehicle seatbelt is used with the Houdini 27 at all times and continues to be the primary form of restraint for the occupant.

There is no Australian standard for this type of harness/vest. A new standard is currently being developed AS 5384 Accessories for seat belts for use in motor vehicles which will include harnesses and vests.
