Always make sure that your child (that is old enough to sit without a carseat restraint) ALWAYS has their seatbelt correctly in place. The bottom part of the seatbelt should be on their HIPS and the top across their chest.
This is a picture of my nephew that was in a very bad car accident last Nov (or around that time, I don't remember the exact date). My bMother just sent me a bunch of the pictures from the accident and I could not believe it when I saw this one! Jacob was kinda slouching down in his seat and as you will be able to tell, the seatbelt was not positioned correctly. He had a lot of internal damage but luckily is doing just fine now. If he wasn't wearing his seatbelt he would have died...
Anyway, here is the picture. I think that I will STRONGLY enforce my children to wear their seatbelts the right way from now on! BTW, this was taken almost a week after the accident once he was able to come home from the hospital.
