Question: How to wear seat belt properly?
Answer: Older children should wear lap and
shoulder belt (the three-point adult seat
belt). The shoulder belt should not contact
around the face or neck of the child. The lap
belt should cling to their hip and just touch
upper part of their thigh; In case of traffic
accident, the tighten force of seat belt will
only impact on the child's pelvis. Do not
fasten the lap belt on the child’s abdomen
to avoid severe or fatal internal injury to the
child in case of collision.
According to accident statistical data, it is
safer for children and infants to sit in the
child restraint systems in the rear seats. In
case of a traffic collision, a child who do not
fasten the seat belt properly may run into
other passengers who have fastened their
seat belts or may be thrown out of the
vehicle. Older children should wear the seat
belt properly.
Do not fasten the seat belt for older
children as shown in previous figure.
Never allow two children to share a single
seat belt. In case of collision, the seat belt
will fail to restrain both children and they will
run into each other resulting in severe injury.
One seat belt is meant only for an adult or
an older child.
