Seat belts are designed primarily for adults. They are not designed to contain small children, and when used like this, can actually cause harm. Neither is it safe for a child to be held on an adult's lap. Several crash studies have shown that even at low speeds, an adult cannot stop a child from falling forward, risking serious injury. Child Restraint Systems have been especially designed keeping a child's specific needs in mind. Invest in one. Don’t compromise on your child’s safety.
