ABSTRACT SEAT BELT ARRANGEMENTS For use with a vehicle seat belt system having a shoulder or diagonal belt, an auxiliary strap (22, 40) is positioned to extend generally upright on the front of the back portion (4) of the seat and a connector (28,50) for the belt is movable to a selected position along the strap to determine the effective position from which the upper end of the belt extends. The auxiliary strap can be an extension (40) of the lap portion of the seat belt (12), being isolated therefrom by a snubber device (30) or a separate element (22) with a length adjustment means. It can be secured to one or more of the anchorages (10,16) of the seat belt system or can be looped around the seat back. In a modification the auxiliary strap (72) extends upright on a door pillar adjacent the seat. In another modification, the upper edge of the seat back is clamped between the limbs (81, 82) of a U-shaped member the forward limb of which can carry a guide loop (90) for the belt at a selected one of several positions. A turnbuckle arrangement (87, 88) ensures effective clamping of the seat back. Where the system includes a running loop (114; 134) for guiding the belt from a retractor, one end of the auxiliary strap can be connected to a second loop secured to the running loop or both loops can be mounted for swivelling independently.
