A vehicle includes a body. A front seat and a rear seat are each supported by the body. A seat belt buckle is supported by the rear seat. A harness bar is supported by the body and disposed between the front seat and the rear seat. A webbing is attached to the harness bar. A tongue is attached to the webbing. The tongue is engageable with the seat belt buckle.

A motor vehicle seat restraint system may include a tongue or buckle and an electrical component carried thereby, an elongated restraint web coupled to the tongue or buckle, the restraint web having a first side and a second side opposite the first side, an outer surface between the first and second sides and an inner surface opposite the outer surface, a channel member coupled to and between the inner and outer surfaces of the restraint web adjacent to the first side of the restraint web and extending along at least a portion of a length thereof, the channel member and the first side of the restraint web defining a passageway therebetween, and one or more electrical wires operatively coupled to the electrical component and extending into and through the passageway such that the one or more electrical wires ride within the channel member along-side the restraint web.

A combination inflatable and web-based restraint for a motor vehicle seat may include an occupant restraint collar having an arcuate portion with first and second spaced apart legs each joined thereto or integral therewith, the collar configured to extend about a neck and over opposite shoulders of an occupant of the seat, first and second shoulder webs of the restraint each movably coupled to a respective one of the first and second legs such the collar is movable along the first and second shoulder webs, an inflatable airbag housed, in an uninflated state, within the arcuate portion and the first and second legs of the collar, the airbag and configured to open a scam of, and extend out of, the arcuate portion and the first and second legs upon deployment thereof, and at least one inflator fluidly coupled to the airbag for deploying the airbag.

A removable safety belt harness assembly is operable to removably secure an object at a station to restrict egress. The assembly includes flexible safety belts and a belt positioning frame. The frame includes a pair of frame connectors that are each attached to a restraining section of a corresponding belt. The frame restricts relative movement between the safety belts.

A seat assembly for a vehicle includes a seat, and a first seatbelt having a first end and a second end. The first end of the first seatbelt is coupled to the seat. The seat assembly includes a latch plate and a second seatbelt. The latch plate is fixed to the second end of the first seatbelt, and the second seatbelt is slideably coupled to the latch plate. The first seatbelt and the second seatbelt increase lateral support of the occupant during, e.g., a rollover event, oblique or side impacts.

A vehicle includes seats having both a primary three-point seatbelt and a supplemental two-point seatbelt. Occupation of a first seat is determined. The three-point seatbelt is determined as being one of buckled and unbuckled. The two-point seatbelt is determined as being one of buckled and unbuckled. A warning signal is initiated upon determining that one of the seatbelts is unbuckled and the seat is occupied. The warning signal is terminated upon determining that both of the seatbelts are buckled and that the signal has been initiated.

A motor vehicle seatbelt restraint arrangement including a continuous seatbelt. When the occupant is seated the seatbelt buckle tongue is drawable across the body to engage the buckle providing firstly a pre-impact configuration of the seatbelt characterized by a lap belt portion resting on the hips or upper legs of the occupant, wherein the lap belt portion is rearward vertically offset relative to an underside belt portion of the continuous seatbelt across the seating surface of the seat, and secondly an impact configuration of the seatbelt characterized by the lap belt portion and the underside belt portion being less rearward vertically offset and substantially vertically aligned one with respect to the other to provide a more vertically aligned loop of the continuous seatbelt around the hips or upper legs of the occupant at impact preventing submarining of the occupant out from the motor vehicle seat during impact.

Systems for retraining an occupant within a vehicle seat as disclosed herein include a lap belt having connectable lap-belt segments along a seat bottom extending from respective connection points with the seat or the vehicle. A connection element extends upwardly along a seat back from an attachment point to a connecting member, and shoulder straps extend from the connecting member for placement over the occupant's shoulders when seated within the vehicle seat. The lap-belt segments may be connected directly or indirectly with the shoulder straps, and shoulder strap length may be adjusted via the lap-belt segments or an intermediate element used to connect the lap-belt segments with the shoulder straps. A vertical belt extends from the connecting member along the back portion of the vehicle seat to an attachment point within the vehicle.

A seat assembly includes a seat back and a headrest adjustably coupled to the seat back. The headrest defines a first guide passage and a second guide passage, each extending through the headrest. The seat assembly includes a retractor and a belt. The belt extends continuously from a first end to a second end. The first end is engaged with the retractor. The belt has a looped portion from the first guide passage to the second guide passage. The belt extends from the looped portion through the first guide passage to the first end, and extends from the looped portion through the second guide passage to the second end.

A plus-two belt system is provided. The plus-two belt system is a supplement to a traditional three-point belt system. The plus-two belt system has a longitudinal webbing anchored at a first end and coiled on a retractor at a second end. When an occupant is sensed and the vehicle engine is on, a reminder chime can sound when a magnetic strip in the webbing of the plus-two belt system is detected. The magnetic strip can be detected with a Hall effect sensor and the Hall effect sensor can be located adjacent the retractor.
