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
shuu1.d
be worn low
and snug
on the hips, just touching
the
child's thighs. This applies
belt force to the
child's
pelvic b0ne.s in a crash.
