The modern three-point safety belt was invented by Swedish engineer Nils Bohlin in 1959 while he was working for Volvo. His design improved upon earlier safety belts by allowing for a more effective restraint system that secured both the upper and lower body. Volvo made the patent available for free to other car manufacturers to promote safety in vehicles. Prior to Bohlin's invention, various types of safety belts had been used since the early 20th century, but they were often less effective.
