Never do this.
Here a child
is
s
iitting
in
a seat that has a
lap-shoulder
belt,
but
the shoulder
part
is
behind the child. If the child wears the belt
inthis 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.
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.
