I accidentally found out about the CG-Lock at a high performance driving event at a nearby racetrack. My driving skills were improving each day, but I felt helpless in negotiating some tight turns as my body would bounce around from one side of my seat to the other. All my energy was being wasted on holding the steering wheel tight enough to keep my hips in the seat, instead of concentrating on the driving. When one of the instructors offered the CG-Lock for me to try, everything changed. By keeping my hips “glued” to the seat I quickly felt the weight transfer of the car, and thus my driving skills improved greatly.

When I got home I checked out the website and started to use the device in my daily driving. It is comfortable, and in fact helps me keep good posture on longer drives.

When my wife recently purchased a vehicle with a third row, in order to be able to carpool with fellow mothers of young children, I was upset by the fact that the third row did not have LATCH fitting. Despite my best attempts I could not get the car seat in as tightly as it is with a LATCH system. I felt like my kids would start bouncing around the car if I took any turn faster than 10mph.

That’s when the CG-Lock videos came to mind. I used the lock to place my child’s car seat in that 3rd row. What a difference!!! The seat is tight and secure. When my kids graduate to a booster seat, they will always use the device.

Being a Surgeon I’m always concerned about the science and the safety of any new device (my wife has not been allowed to drive a car without side curtain airbags, because of the dramatic reduction in head injuries associated). I reviewed some of the crash test data from the makers of CGLock.

From my perspective this device can significantly decrease the risks of car accidents to any child who is in a booster, and probably to any adult who does not drive with a 5 point harness. I think this is an essential safety device that will help people drive better and when in accidents, will save many lives.

I am ordering more CG-Locks for both my cars and will bring them with us when we travel with our children.
