ABSTRACT:
A guide is provided for a vehicle shoulder belt so the latter, when in an operative mode, will safely engage the person while sitting in a vehicle seat. The guide includes a first attaching member which removably encompasses a first portion of the back section of the vehicle seat, and a second attaching member which is angularly disposed relative to and intersects the first attaching member. The second attaching member removably encompasses a second portion of the seat back section. Carried by the first attaching member and disposed to the side of the seat back section, which is proximate the shoulder belt, is a guide piece. The guide piece is in sliding engagement with a portion of the shoulder belt. The second attaching member has a portion thereof affixed to an intersecting portion of the first attaching member. The second attaching member is adjustable relative to the seat back section so as to position the first attaching member and the guide piece carried thereby at a selected elevated location on the seat back section whereby the shoulder belt, when in an operative mode, will safely engage the upper torso region beneath the neck region of the seated person.
