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. 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.
