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.
