I'd like to add some little known information that applies to everyone.
Often you'll see people in the front passenger seat wearing their seat-belt they way they should but having the seat tilted back either resting or sleeping. Please remember that if there is a sudden and unexpected front-end impact that person won't be moved forward against the seat-belt as they would if they were in a normal sitting position but would have a tenancy to slide forward UNDER the seat-belt which would force the person's insides to be pushed up into their upper body. The seat-belt would also have a tendency to get hung up on the lower rib cage and do a lot of damage as the person slides further under the seat-belt. Get the picture?
That's true, and really sitting in just about any way other than upright with your back against the seat is bad too. I was in a rear-end car accident a few years ago, and I instinctively leaned forward when I saw the other car coming in my rearview mirror. That pulled out the shoulder part of the seatbelt just enough to stop it from locking, and I ended up hitting my head on the steering wheel - ouch.
Also remember that if you have people sitting in the front seat they should not lean forward to get something off the floor when the car is in motion.
I have one of those!
