Size: Child - up to 6 Years

The Model 13W Rear Fastening Harness for wheelchairs provides postural support and a degree of restraint for passengers with learning difficulties, challenging behaviour or difficulty remaining upright while seated.

Designed specifically for wheelchair users, the harness fastens behind the seat so the buckles are less accessible to the occupant. It can help maintain a more stable, upright seated position during everyday wheelchair use and may also be suitable for some easy chairs.

The Model 13W Wheelchair Harness is fitted with three lightweight Side-Squeeze buckles, making it easier to fit around many wheelchair designs. Velcro® Comfort Sleeves are also supplied to cushion the shoulder straps.

Available in two sizes: 13WJ Child for children up to approximately 6 years and 13W Adult for users aged approximately 7 years through to adulthood. This product is made to order in the UK and dispatched directly from the manufacturer.

Key Features

  • Rear-fastening wheelchair harness providing postural support and a degree of restraint
  • Helps the occupant maintain a more stable and upright seated position
  • Designed for wheelchair users with learning difficulties, challenging behaviour or additional support needs
  • All fastening buckles are positioned behind the wheelchair seat for improved tamper resistance
  • Fitted with three lightweight Side-Squeeze buckles for easier wheelchair compatibility
  • Supplied with Velcro® Comfort Sleeves for the shoulder straps
  • Suitable for most wheelchairs where there is access behind the seat
  • May also be suitable for use with some easy chairs
  • Sometimes referred to as a “Houdini Harness” because the rear fastenings are less accessible to the occupant
  • Made to order in the UK

Wheelchair and Chair Compatibility

  • Suitable for many wheelchair designs where the straps can be passed around the seat and fastened securely behind it
  • Full access behind the wheelchair seat is required for correct fitting
  • May be used with some suitable easy chairs, subject to the chair design and fitting requirements
  • If the occupant can reach behind the seat and release Side-Squeeze buckles, the Model 13 Steel Harness with Steel Safety Buckles may be more appropriate

Product specific return policy

Crelling Harnesses Returns Policy

Please note: As Crelling Harnesses products are made to order and shipped directly from the manufacturer, their returns policy takes precedence over Fledglings’ standard returns policy.

On delivery, it is the recipient’s responsibility to check the order to ensure it is correct and satisfactory. Any queries or returns must be raised directly with Crelling Harnesses Ltd within 14 days of receipt.

After this time, the order will be deemed satisfactory with regard to model type, quantity received and product quality.

This does not affect your statutory rights or your right to return an item if there is an issue with a specific product.

Faulty Items

In the unlikely event of a faulty item, Crelling Harnesses will offer either a replacement item or a full refund — including initial postage and standard return postage — within the first six months of purchase if it can be proved, or is likely, that the fault was present at the time of purchase.

If more than six months have passed and a fault occurs, it is considered likely to be due to wear and tear. In this case, Crelling will decide whether to repair, refund, or replace the product. All postage costs in these circumstances are the responsibility of the consumer.

This policy is in line with the Sale of Goods Act 1979.

Crelling Harnesses cannot accept an item returned as faulty if the product care instructions have not been followed or if the damage is clearly due to wear, tear or misuse.

Returns Procedure

If you purchased goods directly from Crelling Harnesses and wish to return an item for any reason, please do so within 14 days. Enclose either the returns slip, a copy of the delivery note or invoice, clearly stating the reason for return and whether you require a refund or an exchange.

If you purchased a Crelling item through Fledglings, please contact us first so that we can assist with your return and liaise with the manufacturer on your behalf.

Condition of Returned Goods

Important: Goods must be returned in a clean and as-new condition. A charge may be applied if goods are returned soiled or damaged. The charge will vary depending on the condition and extent of any damage.

All postal charges are the responsibility of the customer. Crelling strongly recommends obtaining a certificate of postage, as you are responsible for the parcel until it has been received at their office.

This returns policy is provided by Crelling Harnesses Ltd. and applies to all Crelling-made products sold through Fledglings.
