Dewey has one in his car and I tried it out at the school. Works great, in my opinion.
The $40 cost may seem high when you look at it being just a piece of metal you attach to the existing belt. However, that is about 1/2 the cost of buying a cheap racing harness which is the other alternative.

This may work but it could cause injury in a crash. It is best to keep the belt with its full two inch width flat against your body to disipate energy over a wider area of your body if the worst happens. Also, a twisted belt will experience increased stress under load meaning that it could be broken with less force.Steven wrote:Does it just keep your seatbelt from having slack in it when you aren't on the brakes? If so, just twist your seatbelt a few times before you buckle up, the lap part will be MUCH tighter and will not go loose.
The CG Lock is not marketed as a safety device but should not prevent the belt from working properly in a crash. It clamps to the buckle and the belt is routed across a knurled cam. You pull the slack out of the lap portion of the belt and the cam will hold the lap part of the belt tight until you release it.
Anyone that is interested should take a look at mine on Sunday. The only down side I have found is that it keeps the belt from retracting completely so I have to remember to tuck the belt out of the way before I shut the door when I exit the car.
