In this way, by fastening the apparatus (1) to the seat belt (2, 3), the shoulder strap (2) is redirected from the standard path to the lowered path so that the shoulder belt strap extends from the middle shoulder strap locating fastener (6) to the lower buckle clasp (12) across the torso of the reduced height passenger. The apparatus (1) is easy to install, operates effectively and can be manufactured inexpensively.
