Never use a belt that is twisted or reversed. In

Never place the shoulder belt under the
child's arm or behind the child's back. If an ac-
cident occurs, this can increase the risk or se-
verity of injury to the child.
The seatbelt should fit snugly in order to pro-

effective in preventing or reducing injury.
Place the lap belt as low as possible on the
child's hips. A high-positioned lap belt will in-
crease the risk of sliding under the lap belt and
of the lap belt sliding up over the abdomen, and
both can result in serious internal injury or
death.
Make sure the shoulder belt is positioned
across the center of child's shoulder. Placing
the shoulder belt over the neck may result in
neck injury during sudden braking or in a colli-
sion.
