Attachment hardware allows for a multitude of positioning options

The hip belt is the primary anterior support in seating, as it helps to maintain the stability of the pelvis.
Proper placement and use of anterior pelvic supports in a wheelchair or supportive stroller may prevent sliding into maladaptive, unsafe or non-functional postures.

For maximum effect, position the attachment points of the hip belt as close to the user as possible
Positioning the main (wide) straps below the ASIS reduces the possibility of the pelvis slipping under the belt
The selection and set-up of the cushion and backrest influences the position and stability of the pelvis

Centre Release Buckle	Robust design that is strong enought to keep the user positioned safely. Suitable for user operation. Press the release button to release the buckle.
Anti-Escape Buckle	Steel Anti-Escape buckle can be installed to prevent those with challenging behaviour from escaping. Very successful in preventing individuals with inquistive fingers or learning difficulties from releasing the buckle. Operates in reverse to a normal buckle, and disengages by rasing a spring-loaded lever (won’t press release).
Pen Popper Buckle	The Pen Popper buckle prevents unintentional releasing of the buckle. Extremely successful in preventing individuals with inquisitive fingers or learning difficulties from releasing the buckle. Requires a tool such as a pointed pen or key to fit through a small hole and reach the buckle release mechanism to open.
Easy Release Latch Buckle	The Easy Release Latch buckle is a similar buckle to those found on aeroplane seats and allows for an easier one-hand release action. This is an ideal solution for users that self-transfer in and out of their wheelchair but have limited hand function to open buckles. Simply lift the metal buckle flap and slide the buckle apart.
