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 chiici sits, the iap portion
of
the beit
should be worn low and snug on the hips, just touching
the child’s thighs. This applies belt force to the chiid’s
pelvic bones in a crash.
