ABSTRACT:
An adjustable breakaway comfort strap for use in connection with a restraining system which includes a seat belt and shoulder harness combination. The device includes first and second elongated strap members, each strap member having a combination of fastening elements such as VELCRO attached thereto for allowing adjustable attachment of the first and second strap members to the shoulder harness and lap belt strap respectively of an automobile restraining system. The first and second elongated straps also include an attachment tab which allows interconnection of the two straps to form a single elongated strap. The attachment tab is sized so that the attachment strength rendered thereby can be countered by forces generated in the shoulder harness of the restraining system in such a manner that an emergency situation will cause the shoulder harness and/or lap belt to pull the first and second strap apart at the tab and allow the restraining system to function properly, as originally designed, without interference from the comfort strap.
