BDifficulty 2/5

Is it safe to use a clip that leaves slack in the seat belt so it does not fit against the body?

Correct answer

No, slack can reduce effectiveness and increase injuries.

No. Slack reduces restraint effectiveness and can increase injuries in a collision. Fit the belt correctly, without twists, with the lap section over the pelvis and the diagonal section correctly positioned. It is not inevitable that every occupant will hit the steering wheel; this question concerns a clip creating slack, not an approved child restraint used according to its instructions.
