A 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.
Safety Belt Extender
If the vehicle’s safety belt will fasten around you, you should use it.
But
if a safety belt isn’t long enough to fasten, your dealer will order you an
extende.r. It’s free. When you go
in to order it, take the heaviest coat you
will wear, so the extender will be long enough for you. The extender will be
just for you, and just for the seat
in your vehicle that you choose. Don’t let
someone else use
it, and use it only for the seat it is made to fit. To wear it,
just attach it to the regular safety belt.
