Yes. The more the straps twist, the less area of strap is available to restrain the child in a crash. This also means, that in a crash, more pressure is existed on this smaller area, and the pressure will be directed to the child. This could result in ‘belt burns’ or even more serious injury. The harness straps should lie flat against the child’s body at all times.
