How do you use child safety seats and seat belts?
A child is big enough to sit in the vehicle lap and shoulder belt when they can sit with their back against the vehicle seat back with their knees bent over the edge of the vehicle seat without slouching. This is when a child is approximately eight years old and 4'9." If a child cannot sit properly in the vehicle lap and shoulder belt they should use a belt positioning booster seat. The lap belt should lie securely on a child's upper thigh. The shoulder belt should fit snugly across the chest and rest between their neck and shoulder. Lap and shoulder belt are designed for adults and made to ride over the bony areas of the shoulders and hips. With small children, the lap belt tends to ride up into their abdomens and the shoulder belt cuts across their necks. A booster seat positions the lap and shoulder belt properly. Click here for information on the proper use of booster seats. Lap and shoulder belt provide greater protection than a lap belt alone because it provides upper body restraint in addition to lower body restraint. Children large enough for a seat belt should use the vehicle's lap and shoulder belt. If your vehicle has lap only belts in the back seat, you may want to consider having shoulder belts installed by a dealer or repair facility. Most vehicle manufacturers offer retrofit shoulder belt kits for this purpose. The shoulder belt should never be placed behind a child. He/she could be seriously injured in a crash. If the seat belt does not fit properly, a child should use a belt-positioning booster seat. Never place the shoulder belt under a child's arm. Placing the shoulder belt under a child's arm can cause life-threatening injuries in a crash. If the seat belt does not fit properly, a child should use a belt-positioning booster seat.

Is there a law against wearing the shoulder strap part of the seat belt behind back?
Most Likely: YES. In Ontario Canada, the website states:"A typical seat belt assembly consists of a lap and shoulder belt. The shoulder belt should be worn closely against the body and over the shoulder and across the chest, never under the arm. The lap belt should be firm against the body and low across the hips."There are limited exceptions, they include medical reasons, a firefighter in a firetruck engaged in their work, even being a person in custody in a police car!Where you live, laws of course, may be different. I encourage you to check with your local police or government website.Defeating the purpose of the shoulder belt can be dangerous, it serves to help keep the driver from hitting the steering wheel or the passenger hitting the dashboard during a collision. Airbags are calibrated expecting a passenger IS shoulder belted in. Slamming into an exploding airbag without a shoulder belt to help slow you down first would probably be a (briefly) painful experience!see: http://www.mto.gov.on.ca/english/safety/seatbelt.shtml
