A CAUTION:
Never do this.
Here a child is sitting in
a seat that has a lap-shoulder belt, but
the shoulder part is behind the child.
If the child wears the belt
in this
way, in a crash the child might slide under the belt. The
belt’s force would then be applied right on the child’s abdomen.
T’ It <: dd cause serious or fatal injuries.
Wherever the child sits, the lap portion
of the belt should be worn low
and snug on the hips, just touching the child’s thighs. This applies belt
force to the child’s pelvic bones
in a crash.
- SAFETYBELT EXTENDER

If the vehicle’s safety belt will fasten around you, you should use it. The
automatic lap-shoulder belt has plenty of extra length built in,
so it will
fasten around almost all people.
