🧩 Special Needs “H” Harness
Supporting Comfort, Safety & Peace of Mind
NDIS Customers:
If you are purchasing through the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS), please ensure approval is obtained through your provider prior to ordering.
Why Choose a Special Needs Harness?
Standard seat belts are not suitable for many passengers with special needs. In some cases, the wearer may wriggle out of position or into a posture where the seat belt becomes unsafe.
Our Special Needs “H” Harness offers additional support and restraint to keep passengers secure, comfortable, and safely positioned throughout travel.
These harnesses are not a substitute for a standard seat belt or child restraint and should only be used for passengers with special needs.
We recommend consulting with your Case Worker or Occupational Therapist to ensure compliance with AS4370 – Restraint of children with disabilities or medical conditions in motor vehicles.
For detailed guidance, please refer to our [Special Needs Harness Guide] (attached below).

🧩 Special Needs “H” Harness – Models 1820000 (Small), 1820001 (Medium) & 1820002 (Large)
Our Special Needs Harnesses are designed to provide secure, comfortable support for passengers with special needs, ensuring both safety and peace of mind during travel. Each harness is carefully crafted in Australia, in collaboration with Senior Health Professionals, to meet the highest standards of care and reliability.
🔹 Small 1820000 Special Needs Harness
For children under 36kg
The Small (1820000) Harness is specifically designed to attach to the existing child seat anchorage points in the vehicle.
This model is intended only for children weighing less than 36kg and must be used with the correct anchor points to ensure safety.
⚠️ Important Safety Notice:
Do not attach a Medium or Large Harness to a child seat anchorage point.
These anchor points are not strong enough to withstand the higher forces generated during a collision and could fail under impact.
🔹 Medium & Large Special Needs Harnesses
Models 1820001 (Medium) & 1820002 (Large)
The Medium and Large harnesses are designed to attach to adult seat belt anchorages.
As most vehicles do not have suitable anchorage points pre-installed, it is strongly recommended to have an anchorage kit professionally fitted by a qualified mechanic or authorised fitting station.
Each vehicle using a Medium or Large harness must be equipped with an appropriate anchorage point to ensure maximum safety and reliability.
🔹 Anti-Submarine Strap
The anti-submarine strap is an important safety feature that enhances the overall effectiveness of the harness.
It connects to the rear of the chest strap and features a loop at the front through which the seat belt is securely threaded.
Measuring for the Perfect Fit
To determine the ideal length for the anti-submarine strap:
-
Measure from the top of the chest strap (located between the shoulder blades)
-
Down and under the body
-
To the point where it meets the lap belt
This measurement helps us supply the best-fitting strap for both comfort and safety.
Available Sizes:
Our standard anti-submarine strap lengths include:
-
600mm
-
700mm
-
800mm
-
900mm
This range offers generous adjustment options for most users. If further customization is needed, the strap can be easily modified by repositioning the Velcro strip at the back — allowing for a secure, tailored fit.
With the anti-submarine strap correctly fitted, you can have full confidence that the harness will deliver maximum support and safety.
