First and second shoulder belts ( 36 and 38 ) extend over the shoulders of the occupant ( 22 ). A buckle assembly ( 58 ) interconnects the lap belts ( 32 and 34 ) and the shoulder belts ( 36 and 38 ). The occupant restraint system ( 30 ) also includes first and second buckle-lowering belts ( 94 and 96 ) attached to the buckle assembly ( 58 ) for creating a downwardly acting biasing force on the buckle assembly ( 58 ) so as to move the buckle assembly ( 58 ) downwardly relative to the seat ( 10 ) and towards the lap of the occupant ( 22 ). |
