Most of them were favorable. i The belts, shown on the ears there, were of the lap type that i buckle over the hip and are at- - tached to a metal bar behind the ! seat which, in turn, is held firmly to the ' ~4 T f safety belts a •eye 'j*Br fine idea, and noted that ahe ! 1. *i use them for | Mt« Chapman her tWO etlil | I dren, aged 10 and 12. *Td feel : i better about them if they were i securely strapped onto the sect," i she said. “Several times when ] they were in the car. I've had to come to an abrupt stop, and we all had some bruises. I’d be in terested in'trying the belts." Husband I.ikes Belts In one family, the husband was completely sold on the idea.! He had installed four in his fam- 1 ; ily car. The w ife was hesitant at j ■ first, but after using safety belts j on a cross country trip, she said ! she became quite used to them I and wouldn't want to ride with out one in the future. "At first 1 was leery of being restrained." she said. “Then I began to feel a sense of security j with it on When we took a turn, , I didn’t slide, but was held firmly ■ in place. My posture was better, and 1 felt more rested at the end | of the trip ” j The family's two sons, aged 9j and 17, liked the idea of safety) I belts. They took light away to: ■ u: rig them and now it's a mat- j ter of habit." their father said. ‘ “They gel in and put them I ( right on.” The 17 year-old son faltered] only once in his admiration for, the safety belt idea, This Was : when a girl he was dating! I scorned to use them in his fanu- ! i ly’s car. Then, oddly enough.) , she was involved in a minor j accident reveral weeks later, , and came out with only a few i scratches. Hut apparently the • : accident convinced her, and after that, -tv used the safety • bed in the boy's c ar without any j . objection. j The same family is on inti-1 mate terms with a four-year-old girl, " the jumping-jack type," said the father. She loves the belts and uses them enthusiasti cally, proudly buckling herself in every time she rides with them. The father added: “She thinks it’s fun . . . maybe the space ship games have influ enced her. She sit* on the seat all ready to go, and tells every body else to put on Ibeir safety i belt.” Objections Few j A few women didn’t like safety belts. One objected to the belt wrinkling her skirt. “If I wore straight skirts, it wouldn’t matter so much," she said, “but I prefer full skirts.” This is a natural feminine re action. We thought the same things once. too. But a survey we conducted on this point showed conclusively that women’s clothes are not wrinkled ai all when the safety belt is adjusted properly. We tried this test on ! all types of women’s clothes— i even formal wear. Another woman objected to ! the weight of the buckle on her lap. When she was shown how to wear the safety belt—tight against her body so that the buckle does not bounce - she thought is was more comfort able. Roy D. Haeusler, automotive safety engineer ai Chrysler Cor iporation. commented that ■ youngsters generally seem eager ; to adopt the use of safety belts [ “ft’s the older folks who are ! hard to convince because they "have been driving for years 1 without them.” Haeusler -aia j He pointed out that people who | have belts in their cars should i use them whenever they drive. ' Some people have had cars ! equipped with seat belts just for | long trips,” he added.
