It has just came to my attention that the rear seatbelts are positioned too high and too far forward to protect children sitting in a backless booster and for smaller adults. The seatbelts would not provide adequate safety in a crash because they do not even lay against these persons' bodies. They are around their ears instead of the shoulder.
