Check that the straps are placed slightly below the shoulders of the child and then, when they are up, they should be over their shoulders. Adjust them to prevent this. The straps must be secure enough to pinch excess fabric together. This is known as the Pinch Test. Overly bulky outer layers such as winter coats can interfere with this, so make sure to take them off prior to placing your child in their seat.
The chest clip is designed to break in an accident, but it could be compressed on the throat of a child if it's too low or when the chest straps are too loose. The chest clip shouldn't be in the neck opening. Instead it should be located at the armpit level.
In the event of a crash, children who are rear-facing may slide down the seat. The harness straps must be capable of supporting the head and neck of the child.

All children who outgrow their infant car seat due to weight and height should use a booster seat until their vehicle seat belt is properly fitted. This can only happen if they are at least 4 feet 9 inches tall and have reached the top of their headrest (check the seat manufacturer's recommendations for exact measurements).
Booster seats aid in positioning the lap and shoulder belt properly. They also decrease the distance the child's head moves during a crash, which decreases the risk of injuries. Head movement is the main cause of motor vehicle crashes, which are the leading fatality for children between the ages of 4 and 8.
