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 touchhg
the child’s thighs. This
applies
belt
force
to
the child’s
pelvic
bones
in
a crash.
