Which placement gives the intended fit for an adult lap and shoulder belt?
Correct answer: Lap belt low across the hips; shoulder belt across the chest
Why
Keep the lap belt comfortably snug and low on the hips, below the stomach. Route the shoulder belt across the shoulder and chest, never under the arm or behind the back. Airbags supplement the belt; they do not replace correct belt use.
