does not fit my child correctly should the shoulder belt be placed under the childs arm for a better fit?
Never put the shoulder belt under a child’s arm or behind the back, as this increases the risk of severe injury in a crash. Use a booster seat to correctly position the lap and shoulder belts for children once they outgrow forward facing child safety seats at about 40 pounds and around 4 years old. Children from approximately 40-80 pounds and 4’9″ should ride in a belt positioning booster seat.
