. Never place the shoulder belt under the child ’ s arm or behind the child ’ s back . If an accident occurs , this can increase the risk or severity of injury to the child .
. The seatbelt should fit snugly in order to provide full restraint . Loose fitting belts are not as 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 increase the risk of sliding under the lap belt and of the lap belt sliding up over the abdomen , and both can result in serious 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 collision .
