Description
The Simpson Hybrid Youth Sport Child SAS is a high-performance safety solution specifically engineered for the smallest competitors. This model features a frame 25% smaller than adult versions, providing a precise fit for junior drivers as young as four years old (chest sizes 22"–26").
Constructed from advanced DuPont carbon/polymer, this device is 20% lighter than previous generations. This weight reduction is critical for junior athletes, as it significantly lowers the physical burden on the neck and shoulders during high-G cornering and impacts, allowing them to stay focused and comfortable.
Elite Junior Maneuverability & Safety
-
SAS (Seatbelt Anchor System): This model comes equipped with the patented SAS, providing enhanced coverage and stability during extreme accident scenarios such as flips, barrel rolls, and side impacts.
-
M61 Quick Release System: Featuring the M61 Dual End Tether Kit, this device allows for rapid egress. A single pull of the yellow quick-release tethers instantly disconnects the driver from the helmet.
-
Enhanced Field of Vision: The patent-pending multi-tether system and sliding tethers provide a superior range of side-to-side head movement, ensuring young drivers can monitor their surroundings and check mirrors with ease.
-
Defined Belt Wings: The sleek, modern profile includes integrated wings to guide and contain the seatbelts, keeping harnesses securely in place throughout the race.
Advanced Engineering & Certification
-
SFI 38.1 Approved: Fully certified to meet the stringent safety requirements of junior racing leagues, including Quarter Midgets, Karting, and Junior Dragsters.
-
Continuous Protection: Unlike traditional HANS-style devices, the Hybrid design stays with the driver, offering consistent protection through multiple impacts and complex motion.
-
Ultra-Low Profile: Designed with the lowest profile of any comparable device, the Hybrid Youth Sport ensures the driver can exit the car quickly without the risk of the restraint catching on roll cages or window nets.
-
Superior Strength: The DuPont carbon/polymer construction is built to handle the rigors of competitive motorsports while providing maximum maneuverability.
Ready for the Track
-
Race Ready: Ships fully assembled and includes the M61 post anchors and dual-end tether kit for immediate installation.
-
Junior Ergonomics: Engineered to match the physical proportions of a child’s frame, ensuring the device remains properly positioned to manage impact forces effectively.

Care & Maintenance
To ensure the continued safety of your junior racer, inspect the Hybrid Youth Sport before every session for hairline cracks, fraying tethers, or hardware damage. Clean the composite frame with a damp cloth and mild soap; do not use harsh chemical cleaners. Store the device in a cool, dry environment away from direct UV rays. As junior drivers grow quickly, periodically verify that the device still fits correctly on the driver’s shoulders. SFI 38.1 devices require recertification every five years—check the manufacturing date on the SFI tag to ensure your gear remains compliant.
