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
inthis
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 chiid 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.
