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

If the belt isn’t long enough, see “Safety Belt Extender” \
at the end of this
section.
Make sure the release button on the buckle faces upward or ou\
tward
so you
would be able
to unbuckle it quickly if you ever had to.
The lap part of the belt should be 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 serious 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.
