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.
In
a
crash,
the
child
would
not
be
restrained
by
the
shoulder
belt.
The
child
might
slide
under
the
lap
belt.
The
belt
force
would
then
be
applied
right
on
the
abdomen.
That
could
cause
serious
or
fatal
injuries.
The
child
could
also
move
too
far
forward
increasing
the
chance
of
head
and
neck
injury.
The
shoulder
belt
should
go
over
the
shoulder
and
across
the
chest.
