Abstract
A functional, adjustable belt guide for receiving the webbing of a shoulder strap of a vehicle seat belt system is disclosed which adjustably directs the path of a shoulder strap across the body of an occupant of a seat for comfort. The adjustable belt guide includes a guide body mountable to the back portion of a seat, and the webbing may be adjusted laterally in position, inward or outward, relative to a seat, to vary the path of the shoulder strap across the body, enabling the occupant of a seat to vary the path of the shoulder strap to minimize neck chafing and/or shoulder pressure. Also disclosed is a vehicle seat belt system incorporating the functional, adjustable belt guide.
