The seatbelt latchplates (tongues) and some seatbelt webbing on all six seats ride on the abdomens of many adult occupants. This may be because the overall length of the (female) buckle stalk is 15.5 inches. The seatbelt latchplate rides 3 inches from the front vertical centerline, with the top of the latchplate 4 inches above the top of the thigh, almost at the lower rib margin, on a 5 foot 11 inch tall 175 pound male, causing discomfort and potential for injury. Seatbelt components on the abdomen are a common cause of preventable crash injury http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/pmc1267426/. Photos and correspondence with the manufacturer from october 18, 2012 are available.

The seatbelt latchplate (tongue) and some seatbelt webbing on all 6 seats rides in the abdomen of many adult occupants. This may be because the overall length of the (female) buckle stalk is 15.5 inches. In the case of a 5'11" tall male weighing 174 pounds, the seatbelt latchplate rides 3 inches from the front vertical centerline, with the top of the latchplate 4 inches above the thigh, almost at the lower rib margin. Besides being uncomfortable, improper positioning of seatbelt component on the abdomen is well established cause of preventable injury in crashes http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/pmc1267426/.
