This is Todd Ponske. One common problem we find is that parents will look in the back seat when they're driving and they'll see that their kids are taking their shoulder strap off because they don't like how it rubs on their neck. The problem with this is that just the lap belt, if that's the only thing they have, when they get into an accident, that cuts right through their abdomen like a guillotine, and we see a lot of injuries of spine injuries and pancreas and bowel injuries because kids are just wearing the, the lap belt and not the shoulder strap. So make sure your kids are always wearing both the shoulder strap and the lap belt. Sasha, put your shoulder strap back on. Thank you.
