I
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. That could 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.
