The lap belt should be worn SNUGLY AND AS LOW AS POSSIBLE OVER THE HIPS.

One Belt, One Passenger:
Using one seat belt for more than one person at a time is dangerous. A seat belt used
in this way can

crushed together and seriously injured or even killed. Never use one belt for more
than one person at a time.
Belt retraction may become difficult if the belts and rings are soiled, so try to keep them
clean.
