When you ride in or on anything, you go as fast as it goes. For example, if
the bike is going 10 mph (16 km/h), so is the child. When the bike hits the
block, it stops. But the child keeps going!

5. To make the lap part tight, pull down on the buckle end of the \
belt as
you pull up on the shoulder belt.

The lap part of the belt should be worn low and snug on the hips, just
touching the thighs. In a crash, this applies force to the strong pelvic bones.
And you'd be less likely to slide under the lap belt.
If you slid under it, the
belt would apply force at your abdomen. This could cause serio\
us or even
fatal injuries. The shoulder belt should go over the shoulder and ac\
ross the
chest. These parts of the body are best able
to take belt restraining forces.
The safety belt locks
if there's a sudden stop or a crash.
