Safety Belt Extender
If the vehicle's safety belt will fasten around you, you should use it.

a
safety belt isn't long enough to fasten, your dealer will order
you an
extender. 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.
