is positioned across the center of

loose−fitting belts could cause seri-
ous injuries due to sliding under
the lap belt during a collision or
other unintended result. Keep the
lap belt positioned as low on a
child’s hips as possible.

the tab and buckle are locked and
that the lap and shoulder portions
of the belt are not twisted.
