Simpson Hybrid Sport Youth Head and Neck Restraint

With safety of paramount importance, especially for our children who compete, Simpson have introduced the Hybrid Sport in Kid's sizes.

Ideal for parents' peace of mind when children are competing in Autograss, Oval Racing etc. Supplied as standard to suit standard FHR posts, it can be special ordered with quick release fittings - but this must be done at time of ordering as this cannot be retro fitted like the adult versions.

Offering the lowest profile of any comparable device, they provide you with maximum comfort and manoeuvrability.
