I looked all over the place for something to prevent my five year old from accidently
unbuckling her 7 month old brother's carseat everytime she gets out of her booster
seat and could not find anything suitable. The seat belt posts in my car are so
close, it's impossible to expect my five year old to not hit the button next to
her buckle when she gets in and out. I can't tell you how many times I've driven
with the car seat unanchored because I had not noticed the seatbelt was unbuckled
again. I even resorted to tieing the car seatbelt that's supposed to anchor my
infant seat closed with twine as a stop gap until I could find something that works.

I found your site on the Internet and ordered since it looked like it would work with
my SUV's seat belts. It is wonderful! Fits perfectly, does not obstruct the other
seat belts in my Ford Explorer, or prevent the wide base of my baby's Britax car
seat from sitting properly on the seat (and much safer than twine). It solves the
problem completely. I could not find any way to unlock the belt with the Hurphy
Durphy (great name too!) on, so I finally KNOW my five year old won't be able to
undo it and my baby is always safely secured. You need to distribute these in
stores in the US. It is a lifesaver--literally.

Thank you,

Hi Imogen, thanks for your message and your prompt service.
Yes, I did hear about you via the triplej interview - as it happens I
heard the piece the morning I was returning to the hospital to be with
my wife and our new baby girl Imogen the morning after she was born!
The combination of hearing someone with the same name as our daughter
(less than 12 hours after her arrival) and hearing of an invention
solving a problem I had already identified meant I had to follow it up.
Thanks again for organising delivery so quickly and good luck with your
venture.

Thanks for your email. I will be promoting your product to all our
mothers group and friends with kids. I think it is a brillant
product! I've posted on the bellybelly site the post below:
Thought I'd let you know that Imogen, the lady who invented the Hurphy
Durphy has been in contact with me to let me know that the product is
legal (as Fiona pointed out when used with a car seat). An extract
from her email to me is below:

Hope this allevates any concerns anyone may have on this product. As
i've said before I think it's cheap insurance.

Thanks again for your contact and I wish you all the success in the
world.

Hi Imogen
Thanks for the Hurphy Durphy - we just received it. I am very excited to have it.
Good luck with it all, I have no doubt that it will be a fabulous
success. It is a marvellous idea. I have passed it on to my mothers
group (a number of whom had already faced the problem) and to another
class thing I went to when we were discussing safety.

Hi Imogen,
Thanks for Hurphy Durphys. They arrived safely and fit our car. So,
one less thing to worry about! Thanks and I wish you all the best in
your business.

Hi there,
Your product is fantastic, safety is a big concern at the moment with
Steven being our first child. I read about the Hurphy Durphy in the STM
in the Sunday Times. Thank you very much for the fast delivery.

Hi there,
Hi, I heard about them on the radio, great idea and have purchased them
for my grandchildren
Thank you

Hi Imogen I first heard about the Hurphy Durphy some time ago when you had first launched it.
You had a radio interview on 6PR with Graham Maybury. Congratulations on surviving
in business so far. I work for a small business (dairy company) and know how important
promotion is, and how hard you have to work to get going.

I wish your product had been around when I needed it. While still in his baby seat,
my younger toddler would see his older brother undo his seatbelt and copy him. There
were many occasions when I would realise that I had been driving around with his seat unsecured!
Best wishes with your business.
