In Rear Seats
In 1955 (as a 1956 package), Ford offered lap only seat belts in the rear seats as an option within the Lifeguard safety package. In 1967, Volvo started to install lap belts in the rear seats. In 1972, Volvo upgraded the rear seat belts to a three point belt.
In crashes, unbelted rear passengers increase the risk of belted front seat occupants' death by nearly five times.
