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. I f 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 iqjuries.
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.
