Safe and unsafe ways to fasten a seat belt on a child. Properly fitted (right), the belt should fasten over the child’s shoulder and chest, the buckle in the hip area. Badly fitted (left), it comes across the child’s neck, the buckle fastening over the rib cage. This can break his neck in a collision. To fit the belt properly the child has to be seated nearer the middle of the seat.
