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.
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.
