The JIMMY by Veigel is a seat belt assist device designed to help drivers and passengers who have difficulty buckling and unbuckling their seat belt. Whether due to limited hand strength, reduced wrist mobility, arthritis, MS, stroke, or simply reduced reach, The JIMMY makes securing your seat belt easy, safe and independent.
The JIMMY’s ergonomic joystick grip acts as a seat belt helper – giving you more control to engage the buckle with one smooth motion. Unbuckling is equally simple: pull back on the lever while pressing the release button to disengage effortlessly.
Buckling: The ergonomic joystick grip gives you more control to easily engage the buckle.
Unbuckling: Simply pull back on The Jimmy lever while pressing the release button to effortlessly disengage the buckle.
Safety: Pulling back on the lever alone will not disengage the buckle. The release button has been designed to prevent unintended disengagement of the buckle.
