ABSTRACT:
A restraint safety device. A chest clip is slidingly attached to a first shoulder strap and a second shoulder strap. The chest clip includes a first chest clip half removably attached to a second chest clip half. A child resistant lock prevents a child from inadvertently detaching the first chest clip half from the second chest clip half In a preferred embodiment the child resistant lock includes a squeezable threaded cap that locks the first chest clip half to the second chest clip half and is removable by an adult when squeezed and turned. In another preferred embodiment the child resistant lock includes a cover lock that locks the first chest clip half to the second chest clip half via prongs and is removable when an adult squeezes the prongs and lifts the cover lock. In another preferred embodiment the child resistant lock includes a cap that covers a press release button. By an adult pressing down on the cap and turning the cap, the press release button is pressed and the first chest clip half can be separated from the second chest clip half. In another preferred embodiment, at least one chest clip stop is attached to each shoulder strap. The chest clip stops function to prevent or limit the sliding of the chest clip and to keep the chest clip properly positioned over the user's chest. In another preferred embodiment, dialable tumblers retain a male insertion piece inside a female receptor. In order to remove the male insertion piece from the female receptor a parent dials the dialable tumblers until they are properly aligned.
