The purpose of a belt-positioning booster seat is to lift or position your child so that the vehicle seat belt fits across the strongest parts of your child's body. A study conducted by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety states that ""the lap belt should fit flat across a child's upper thighs, not across the soft abdomen, which is more likely to be injured in a crash than bony structures like the pelvis."" In the event of a collision, a lap belt that is improperly positioned across your child's abdomen can cause serious injuries, including injuries to internal organs, that can't always be diagnosed immediately and can be life-threatening. Even in cases where the lap belt is initially positioned correctly across your child's hips/upper thighs, it is possible that the forces associated with a collision may cause your child to slide downward under the belt, resulting in the same risk of abdominal injuries.The SecureGuard clip ensures that the lap portion of a lap-shoulder vehicle seat belt is properly positioned across your child's hips/upper thighs, both during normal use and in the event of a collision.How long has BRITAX incorporated SecureGuard in their seats?
