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,
i n
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.
