Abstract

An improved seat belt for a child car booster seat, having a novel five-point seat belt harness with a belt adjusting mechanism. A novel belt tightening and loosening mechanism is disclosed. The booster seat may be secured preferably by one of two ways: either employing belts that secure the booster seat from the rear, or employing a traditional automobile shoulder and lap belt harness to secure both the user and the booster seat. When using an automobile shoulder and lap belt harness mode of securing the booster seat, a shoulder belt clasp is employed to keep the shoulder belt away from the child user's face and neck.
