This study is the first to report seating position, posture, and belt fit observations for a large naturalistic sample of second-row passengers that includes adult occupants. The data suggest that low rear seat belt use rates remain a concern, particularly in ride-hailing vehicles. Non-nominal belt placement and posture may also be common in second-row seating positions.
