Short version, AdL, please rethink turing the little one forward at one year as the AAP and everyone else now recommends that you keep a child rearfacing to the rearfacing limits of the seat (33 lbs for Britax). See the link below for additional information about extended rearfacing.

Seatbelt failure is rare, a much larger problem is that people are putting 3 year olds in boosters when no 3 year old is mature enough to sit properly in them, using LATCH in the center seat (which is only permitted in certain Fords and Mazdas), using expired carseats, putting infant carriers forward facing and all sorts of gross misuse. Essentially, each step up (rear to forward facing, 5 pt harness to to booster to seatbelt) is a step down in the safety of your child.

My three-year-old wants you to know that she is plenty mature to sit properly in her booster seat.
She also says you're a big doodie head for suggesting she isn't.
