Will it work for my Houdini?

The Houdini Stop can not be made 100% inescapable, as an adult needs to be able to easily work the release in an emergency situation. Most children actually begin to love having a Houdini stop. If however your child works out how to undo the Houdini within the first two weeks we will provide a full refund. Please contact the retailer for details.
Has the chest clip been tested on your car seat type?
Has it been tested in both rear and forward facing positions? The Houdini Stop had been tested in Both Forward & Rear facing situations and on Type B, A1, A2 and A4 seats. The dynamics on all these seats are all different and what suits on seat type and position, may not suit another one.
Is the chest clip labelled with instructions on how to install & remove the chest clip?
Does the Chest Clip have obvious red marked release buttons? It is very important that chest clips are labelled and have red release buttons. This is so, in an emergency situation, first responders who have never encountered a chest clip before, can see and learn how to safely remove the chest clip and be able to free the child from their restraint quickly.
