How to fasten your seatbelt properly
01 Ordinary adults
The shoulder straps should cross the ribcage and the waistband should fit snugly against the hip bone, so that the impact does not act on the soft internal organs, but on the strong bones.
02 Pregnant women
The shoulder straps are crossed over the center of the chest, and the waistband is placed at the lowest position of the hip bone to avoid the bulge of the stomach.
03 Children (under 4 years old)
Children under 1 year old should use a rear-facing child safety seat, children 1-4 years old should use a forward-facing child safety seat, and children under 12 years old should not ride in the front seat.
04 Children (4-12 years old)
Children over the age of 4 who are less than 150 cm tall must use a booster cushion or booster seat to elevate their body, even if they are not using a car seat.
