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
touching
the
child’s
thighs.
This
applies
belt
force
to
the
child’s
pelvic
bones
in
a
crash.
Infants
and
Young
Children
Everyone
in
a
vehicle
needs
protection!
This
includes
infants
and
all
other
children.
Neither
the
distance
traveled
nor
the
age
and
size
of
the
traveler
changes
the
need,
for
everyone,
to
use
safety
restraints.
In
fact,
the
law
in
every
state
in
the
United
States
and
in
every
Canadian
province
says
children
up
to
some
age
must
be
restrained
while
in
a
vehicle.
{
CAUTION:
Children
can
be
seriously
injured
or
strangled
if
a
shoulder
belt
is
wrapped
around
their
neck
and
the
safety
belt
continues
to
tighten.
Never
leave
children
unattended
in
a
vehicle
and
never
allow
children
to
play
with
the
safety
belts.
